Tamra opted for a brow lift, a CO2 laser treatment, and a blue chemical peel. These procedures were performed by Dr. Donald Mowlds in Newport Beach, California.

The brow lift aimed to reduce forehead wrinkles, while the CO2 laser treatment and blue chemical peel were intended to tighten the skin and eliminate deeper wrinkles.
Tamra Judge documented her recovery process on Instagram, showing her swollen and bruised face, neck, and chest. She described the experience as “progress isn’t always pretty,” highlighting the reality of post-surgery recovery.
On the third day, she shared a video where she could barely open her eyes due to the swelling, stating, “It feels like my skin’s about to burst”.
The public reaction was a mix of shock and support. Many fans were taken aback by her unrecognizable appearance immediately after the surgery.

However, Tamra received encouragement from fellow reality stars and fans who appreciated her honesty and bravery in sharing such a personal journey.
Tamra’s mother had a humorous take on her daughter’s new look, roasting her over her post-surgery appearance. This light-hearted interaction added a touch of humor to the otherwise intense recovery process.
“Your face literally makes me want to throw up” and “It looks so painfully [sic] and you don’t look like yourself,” referring to Judge’s swollen appearance, “one of my friends called and asked if you had been in a motorcycle accident,” Tamra Judge’s mom said.

But Judge has really good sense of humor and she took this in a very relaxed way “I literally can’t stop laughing. You guys know where I get my empathy from, right? ”she said in the video showing the messages. “I can’t, she’s too much.”
