Alexis Bellino's Facelift: 50, Fierce & Fabulous
2 Aug
Summary
- Alexis Bellino turned 50 by gifting herself a mid-facelift.
- Her family and husband initially opposed the cosmetic surgery.
- The procedure involved a seven-hour surgery with multiple components.
As Alexis Bellino prepared to celebrate her 50th birthday, she gifted herself a significant cosmetic enhancement: a mid-facelift. This early birthday present was intended to help her embrace her new age with a "youthful and zesty" look.
Bellino's decision to undergo surgery faced initial resistance from her family, including her adult daughters who recalled past procedures. Her husband, John Janssen, also expressed reservations until he attended a consultation with the plastic surgeon, Dr. John Layke.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum underwent a seven-hour procedure earlier this year. It encompassed a mini facelift to address mid-facial lines, a neck lift, brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, and CO2 laser skin resurfacing.
Recovery was described as challenging, with Bellino noting it was a "whole different animal" compared to her previous surgeries. Despite some asymmetry in healing on the left side of her face, she anticipates a full recovery. Bellino plans to share her journey on social media, unfazed by potential criticism, emphasizing empowerment and personal choice.
Looking ahead, Bellino intends to have her breast implants removed, a procedure she now regrets undergoing at a young age. Aside from potential facelift maintenance, further surgeries are not anticipated for a considerable time.
