Bec Judd has made good on a promise to spill her plastic surgery secrets, also revealing a ‘filler disaster’
Well-known influencer and AFL WAG Bec Judd has opened up on the plastic surgeries, procedures and facial fillers she has had over the years, in order to look flawless in her 40s.
Melbourne influencer Bec Judd has finally come clean on the plastic surgeries, procedures and injectables she has had over the years to enhance the look of her face.
The businesswoman, wife of AFL legend Chris Judd and mum of four opened up about the extensive cosmetic work on the latest episode of her Vain-ish podcast.
“I have had fat transfer, lower blepharoplasty, upper blepharoplasty,” she revealed this week.
The surgical procedures are designed to improve the appearance of the eyes.
While upper blepharoplasty addresses sagging or drooping upper eyelids, lower blepharoplasty focuses on the lower eyelids to reduce puffiness, under-eye bags and excess skin, to create a more youthful look.
“I saw an oculo-plastic surgeon and got a lower blepharoplasty – you have a general anaesthetic and they remove the eye bag, in lay terms, and they re-drape a bit of the fat and there you go,” she said.
Judd said in the upper blepharoplasty “they take a little bit of your skin out of your eyelid and just freshen it up”, with “a millimetre or two” removed from hers.
Judd revealed that before the surgeries she had the popular teardrop filler injected under her eyes but had not been satisfied with the result as “the filler started to migrate and it also started to absorb fluid so it became really, really puffy”.
She said the “lumps” under her eyes eventually got so bad she was embarrassed to smile in well-lit places and felt the need to constantly wear sunglasses.
The filler was later dissolved, in yet another procedure.
But this led to the hollows under her eyes that she had tried to plump-up with filler in the first place becoming even worse than before, Judd said.
A fat transfer to her eye area then followed, in an attempt to fix the “filler disaster”.
“They harvest fat from another part of your body and then they inject it into the hollows to smooth it out . . . I got it done with my own fat,” Judd said.
“They suck the fat out, put it in, and smooth it out.
“So I’m finally at a point where it’s smooth and I mean, it’s not perfect. It’s never going to be perfect. We’re all ageing. It’s never going to look 100 per cent but it looks so much better than it did before.
“That was a two-year journey of filler, (then) dissolved, lower blepharoplasty, wait for that to recover, then do a fat harvest and fat transfer.”
She added her “journey” had involved hospital admissions and also “cost a s***load of money”.
But Judd said she has never had the nose job she was frequently “accused” of, with many people firmly of the opinion “a scalpel made it”.
“This little nose that looks like a nose job nose, is all mine,” she said.
Explaining why it was important for her to look good, she said: “My job is my face.”
Earlier this year Judd vowed in an interview with the Herald Sun’s Stellar magazine to disclose every cosmetic procedure she had undergone.
“You get to a certain age where it’s like, come on, let’s be a bit more honest. This is the year where we stop bullsh***ing everyone and we ’fess up.
“I’m 42, and I don’t have a line on my face. I’m telling you it’s not because I get eight hours’ sleep a night, all right. But you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out what [I’ve done],” she teased in July.
“I feel like when everyone is a little bit more honest we can have better conversations around beauty, aesthetics and wellness. But if we’re all still hiding things … I understand why – because you get shamed for speaking out, you get called vain or shallow, and I probably will for doing these podcasts.”
