British socialite and Real Housewives of Dubai star, Caroline Stanbury, married Sergio José Carrallo Pendás in December 2021 and she recently surprised fans with a post-Thanksgiving Instagram update showcasing her new face, just 14 days after a facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy. The reality TV personality, known for her opulent lifestyle and social media influence, revealed her transformed appearance with the caption: “NEW FACE, NEW ME ♥️ #happythanksgiving Thankful for a lot of things in my life!”
However, the journey to this new look was not without its challenges. In a recent episode of her podcast, Uncut and Uncensored, Stanbury admitted to undergoing the facelift “with no information whatsoever,” likening the experience to a casual procedure rather than a major surgery.
Describing the process, she noted the stark difference in the medical setting compared to other locations, stating, “This is LA. So, unlike other places where you’re sort of taken to the hospital and feel like you’re having a medical experience, here you’re taken to a back room of an office just as if you’re having a filler.”
Despite the apparent positivity in her Thanksgiving post, Stanbury later expressed dissatisfaction with the results, questioning whether legal action against the surgeon was warranted. She detailed concerns about the altered shape of her face, emphasizing that it looked “like I’d been in a car crash, and the car definitely didn’t win.” Stanbury particularly critiqued the surgeon’s decisions, stating, “[The doctor] managed to cut off three inches on my neck and then the full width of my ear from my face.”
The reality star’s contemplation of legal action stems from the perceived misalignment of facial features post-surgery. While the Thanksgiving post exuded gratitude, Stanbury’s revelations about the challenges and dissatisfaction highlight the risks and uncertainties individuals face when undergoing cosmetic procedures. The public will likely follow her journey, awaiting updates on whether she embraces the transformation or considers corrective measures.
