How to Watch

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

Showing her bandaged face as she lay in bed at her mom's house, the mother of seven wrote "mini facelift = complete". In the next slide, she shared that she had woken up that morning feeling a little "confused," and that her ears were hurting. Other than that, Braunwyn wrote, everything was "great."

Then, tagging her husband in a photo that showed him smiling by the pool, she wrote: "Shout out to this guy for taking care of me."

In a video, Braunwyn opened up more about her healing process. She had gotten the procedure with Dr. Chisholm the previous afternoon, she shared, and she was set to have her bandage taken off that morning. "Not that much pain — as you can tell, I can talk," she said. "I am on a liquid diet for the next couple of weeks... But, I've lived on ice cream before, so, no problem."

This isn't the first time Braunwyn has dished on her recovery process after a cosmetic procedure. In 2020, she had some fat removed from her knees and put underneath her eyes. "The only pain that I'm having today is where they had to take the fat off my knees. I'm kind of a tiny person so that's a little bit sore," she said back then.
