Tamra Judge gave fans a look at her major facial swelling after undergoing plastic surgery and a carbon-dioxide laser treatment to reverse the effects of aging.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star could barely open her eyes as she detailed her recent brow lift procedure in a vlog posted to Instagram Sunday.
“OK, guys, this is day three. It’s supposed to be the worst of it when it comes to swelling,” she said while showing off different angles of her face.

Judge, 57, explained that she was experiencing extreme full facial swelling from the CO2 treatment, which can be used to treat wrinkles, per Healthline .
“The swelling is from the CO2 laser. You can see it’s all the way down my chest. But you can imagine what it feels like,” she added of the “nice and crispy” finish to her skin.

Judge said her throat ached from the tube that went down it during the procedure, but she hoped “to turn a corner” by Monday.
“Progress isn’t always pretty, but it’s happening,” she captioned the clip.
