The latest to do it is <em class=\"italic\">Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/em> alum Kathy Wakile, who shared photos just hours after her facial surgery with her nearly 500,000 Instagram followers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">\u201cToday I had a neck and lower facelift, along with a brow lift and lower blepharoplasty,\u201d the Pizza Love founder wrote in the post\u2019s caption. \u201cAs I mentioned before, this isn\u2019t about changing the face I\u2019ve known and loved for 60 years. It\u2019s simply about restoring and refreshing what time has naturally changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">In the post, shared on Wednesday, June 24, Wakile, 60, filmed herself in floral pajamas, her head and chin wrapped in a white compression bandage. Also visible: what appear to be surgical drains running from beneath the dressing, faint surgical-marker lines along her cheeks and jaw and the inevitable early swelling and bruising around her eyes and lower face\u2014all typical in the first hours after a neck and lower facelift, brow lift and eyelid surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">\u201cI\u2019m a few hours post-op and back home, comfortable, resting and not in any pain,\u201d Wakile added. \u201cI\u2019m a little sleepy, as expected, and will be taking it easy for the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The reality star also acknowledged her participation in the radical-honesty trend in aesthetics. \u201cI&#8217;ve chosen to share this journey openly because I know so many people are curious about the process and may be considering something similar themselves,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI&#8217;ll continue to keep you updated along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Wakile\u2019s in good company. This past May, Rosie O&#8217;Donnell walked followers through her &#8220;lower deep-plane facelift,\u201d after years of swearing she&#8217;d never go under the knife. And last August, Kris Jenner credited her surgeon directly when fans marveled at her refreshed look, saying she shared the details because &#8220;it can be very inspirational.&#8221; We could go on, but you get the point: The secret facelift is officially out of style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injections and procedures are more popular than ever, b [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
