Under the Knife

Tamra Barney talks about her mom's face lift and the Vegas trip!

By Tamra Judge

So what did you think of my Mom's new fresh look?! I think she looks amazing! She still looks like her, just younger. I think that is the key to a good plastic surgery.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

I cannot believe she looked that good only 4 weeks after surgery. It has now been 5 or 6 months and she looks even better. My Mom is happy with the results and said she would do it all over again.  I think this is one of the best face-lifts I have ever seen, not too tight and over done. Dr. Ambe is one of the most talented plastic surgeons in Orange County, if you would like to see my mom's before and after pictures please go to his website at www.newportbeachplasticsurgery.com. It has definitely made her feel better about herself and given her the confidence she needs to started dating again.

I signed my mom up on www.match.com and NO, I did not use the screen name "mom of the hottest housewife of OC." She has gone out on a couple dates, but nothing serious yet. She is very much a homebody, so staying home and meeting people on the computer is just her style. I do hope she finds someone special that she can spend the rest of her life with. I want her to be happy — I do not believe that anyone wants to be alone.


Vegas Baby! The Red Rock Hotel & Casino is so amazing. We had so much fun that we went back with Donn and Vicki for New Years Eve. The hotel has so much to offer — restaurants, nightclubs, 10 pools, a bowling alley, a movie theater, shops and a kids play room where they babysit. You really do not have to leave the Hotel! You might have noticed I was pretty quiet...so unlike me!  I was feeling a little bit under the weather and really not in the mood to whoop it up. I spent about 20 minutes in the night club and then I slipped out. It was so crowded and people would NOT leave us alone. I like to call the cameras A-Hole magnets when we film in public places. I don't know why people have to come up and act so stupid when they see the cameras — it gets really annoying. I am not BIG on girl trips, I always feel strange about leaving my family at home. We rarely take separate vacations/trips and I felt bad. I am really weird about it and have a hard time relaxing without my family around me.

Hanging out by the private pool having lunch was nice and relaxing. I could have stayed there all day. That night at dinner we were all confused by some of the things Lynne was saying. Did Lynne think you couldn't eat horseradish if you were a vegetarian? Does she know if she has air conditioning? I am still not sure, But ya gotta love her for being her.
