RHONJ’s Jacqueline Laurita Gets Facelift and Neck Lift

It’s the lifestyle of Real Housewives. And keeping up with plastic surgery is just as important as the house, the cars, the wardrobe, and the vacations. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Jacqueline Laurita is no different. Now a resident of Orange County, the mother-of-three went under the knife for a little pick-me-up. And she showed off the results on social media, though of course, it’s not looking so glamorous right now.

Jacqueline was an original cast member on RHONJ from Season 1-6. She and her family moved to Las Vegas in 2019. Then they moved to California in 2023. After a period of estrangement in their friendship, she and Teresa Giudice made up again in February 2023.

RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita posted her facelift and neck lift video online

Jacqueline shared a video from the recovery room post-surgery. The former RHONJ star posted the video Monday to Instagram along with a caption praising her medical team. She also shared that she was feeling “fantastic” after undergoing a facelift and neck lift.

“My 5 hour surgery went great with @doctor.ip here in Newport Beach! SO FAR I can’t feel a thing! I feel great!” she captioned the video, which showed the Bravolebrity bruised and bandaged.

Along with the bandaging covering her head and jaw, Jacqueline had drains inserted to remove the blood from the surgical area. Breathing tubes were inserted in her nose.

“I’m still waiting for the other half of my face to wake up that was worked on last. Should be soon!” the RHONJ alum said. “That’s why it’s not moving yet! Lol!”

Jacqueline was instructed to do “rotating ankle rolls 10 directions each way” as well as lifting her “knees up and down to keep the circulation going.” She also needed to keep her head “up and straight forward.”

Jacqueline is getting a lot of Bravolebrity support

It’s almost time to go home, as per the video. Jacqueline praised her medical team and revealed that things were going as planned medically speaking.

“This is a great crew here! Everyone has been excellent!” she shared. “Catheter will be removed tonight and my oxygen has already been removed. My drains will come out tomorrow and I’ll get to go home bright and early!”

And another former Bravolebrity was getting work done at the same facility. Lynne Curtin was in recovery with Jacqueline.

“@lynneanncurtin just rolled in next to me but she’s still a little groggy,” she wrote. “We will talk to her later.”

Jacqueline concluded her message, “I want everyone to see the reality of how this process goes and how we heal! Take care!”

Fans flooded her comment section with words of support as well as praise her for being transparent about the work she had done. Her former costars, Dolores Catania, and Teresa also popped up in the comments.
