Jelly Roll’s Wife Bunnie Xo Shares Raw Look at Facelift Recovery

by

Bunnie Xo isn’t loving her immediate look after getting a facelift.

Alisa DeFord, the author of Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, recently shared details about her latest plastic surgery, including photos of the significant swelling she experienced during recovery.

Bunnie, who has been married to Jelly Roll since 2016, shared a before-and-after video of her cosmetic procedure on Instagram on March 15th. She jokingly wrote in the caption that she resembled Bert Kreischer.

The video initially showed the 46-year-old woman at the hospital, where lines were drawn on her forehead, cheeks, and chin for surgical planning. It then showed her resting in bed with her head bandaged as she recovered.

“I was asleep when the Bert bus happened. Would never make fun of my friends sadness,” Bunnie clarified in the comments section. “I was meaning bc I’m red and eyes are swollen.”

Bunnie anticipated the swelling, as she had previously told her followers she’d look dramatically different after her facelift.

She joked on her podcast, Dumb Blonde, on March 13th that she’d likely be covered in bruises and warned listeners not to be alarmed.

As for why Bunnie decided to go under the knife?

Oh my god, Dr. Gould actually explained what he did to her! He said she just wanted to lift that little bit of looseness around her neck, subtly tweak her cheeks, and bring back some volume she’d lost. And get this – a little work on her upper eyelids and temples to really refine her mid-face! It was all about enhancing what she already had, not changing her, and he just laid it all out! I’ve watched that Instagram video like, a million times.

 

Despite some bruising on her face from the surgery, the podcaster, Bunnie, is recovering well.

The doctor said the patient is very kind and considerate, and expressed gratitude that she agreed to let him discuss her case.

After her divorce from Brennon Lemieux, the former contestant on Love Is Blind season three revealed she had breast augmentation surgery.

In a TikTok video posted in January 2026, she said she was feeling almost back to normal five days after her surgery. She had a breast lift and implant, and was surprised by how easy the recovery process has been. She explained she’d wanted the surgery for a long time, especially after she finished breastfeeding her daughter, as her breasts hadn’t regained their previous shape.

 

Julia Fox, known for her role in Uncut Gems, has admitted she sometimes wishes she hadn’t had certain cosmetic procedures. These include liposuction, a nose job, dental veneers, and the use of Botox and fillers.

In an interview with Allure in August 2025, she shared a longing for the innocence of her younger self. She explained that she sometimes wishes she could return to a time before she felt pressured to focus on attracting men, believing that’s what she needed to do to get by.

She acknowledged she might eventually get back to being more productive, but it wasn’t a priority for her at the moment.

He shared during the Married to Medicine season 11 reunion that he’d experienced something for the first time just a month prior, and received a small amount of it.

Okay, so I’ve been following her forever, and she finally admitted it! After years of pretending she hadn’t had anything done, she talked about it on her podcast last month! She gets Botox, fillers, and lasers! Can you believe it? She said she doesn’t really worry about getting older, but she definitely doesn’t want to look old, and honestly? Good for her! I’m just so fascinated by everything she does, and it’s kind of amazing to hear her be so open about it.

In February 2024, actress Sophia Bush, known for her role on One Tree Hill, talked about the cosmetic procedures she’s had done – including Botox and breast implants – on her podcast, Whine Down. She also shared one regret she has about getting breast implants during the episode.

Jana says her biggest regret about getting breast augmentation is not being certain she did it purely for herself. Her main advice to others considering the procedure is to make sure it’s a decision entirely for their own reasons.

I was so glad to see Cynthia Erivo talk openly about this in a recent Vanity Fair video! She shared that she used to get fillers and Botox, but she actually stopped about four years ago, and that’s all she’s had done. It’s really refreshing to hear her be so honest about it.

The former star of Teen Mom 2, who has seven children, had a Brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck in 2016. She then had additional surgery in December 2024, including another tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast reduction.

A month later, she spoke candidly about wrestling with her body image.

She expressed her hope on Instagram that her children would never feel so insecure about their bodies that they’d consider drastic measures to lose weight.

She emphasized this while stating her respect for anyone struggling with body image.

The reality TV star explained her openness about getting a face lift by saying it would be strange to return to the show looking noticeably younger without explaining why. She admitted she does look about ten years younger as a result.

Let’s be real, post-pregnancy bodies are a journey! I was recently chatting with People magazine, and I shared something a lot of moms can relate to: I’m seeing definition in my abs again – even lines I hadn’t seen since before I was pregnant. It’s amazing, but it’s also a reminder that things do change after having kids. Our skin’s elasticity just isn’t quite the same, and that’s perfectly normal!

In April 2025, she shared that she had spent more than $113,000 trying to find a cure for an unidentified facial parasite.

After an Instagram user claimed she’d had lip fillers, Botox, jawline contouring with liposuction, and eyelid surgery, Ariana Madix responded by admitting she has had cosmetic procedures in the past.

Let me share what I’ve had done, since so many have asked! It’s true, I get a little Botox – specifically, 11 units in my forehead, around my outer brows, and in my neck. I actually had my neck treated with Ellevate back in 2019 by @theneckdoctor. I’ve also had a tiny bit of lip filler because my face is small, and some filler in my chin. But honestly, that’s it! No filler anywhere else, and I definitely haven’t had any eyelid surgery yet. I hope that clears things up, and I promise to keep you all updated if I decide to get anything else done in the future.

In a June 2024 Instagram video, Jill Zarin revealed she recently had a lower facelift and a few other cosmetic procedures. She also explained she had fat transferred to her hands, which she’d always been self-conscious about. Surprisingly, she said the most painful part of the process wasn’t the fat transfer itself, but the liposuction used to remove fat from her leg to use in her hands.

The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the Bravo spinoff.

She recently addressed having a procedure to reduce the fat under her chin, which she jokingly refers to as a family trait – a ‘turkey gobbler.’ On her March 2024 podcast, When Reality Hits, she explained that despite her efforts to lose weight and cope with life’s challenges, she always felt self-conscious about it.

Okay, so she said on her podcast, “Miss Me?”, back in March 2025, that she loves how she looks when she goes topless – seriously, she said it!

She’s so self-aware and hilarious, and honestly, she’s right, it’s just… perfect.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star has spoken publicly about her nose job and her breast implants.

She admitted she wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, often smoking pot and drinking before getting fillers like Juvéderm injected into her face and then leaving.

She explained that she’d stopped getting cosmetic injections. Before filming the music video for ‘Applause,’ a friend who was a photographer had warned her, saying he loved her, but he was seriously concerned about her health and wished she would stop getting injections.

The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

Honestly, hearing her say that just made my day! She told Life & Style that she finally feels good, and it’s like, YES! She basically said if something bothers you and you can fix it, then DO IT. It’s so empowering, and it just proves she’s the best. I’m obsessed!

The Crown star revealed that she’s a fan of Botox. “I’ve had loads,” the actress told BBC Radio 2.

During an appearance on The Talk in 2013, the co-host shared that she had plastic surgery early in her career to enlarge her eyes.

Once I finished, things started going my way,” she explained. “But I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d given in to what he wanted.

I own all of my past choices, and they’ve led me to where I am now. I’m not dwelling on the past.

“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself,” she told People. “I just wanted a tune up.”

Back in 2015, the reality star affectionately nicknamed Dr. Lenny Hochstein her “boob God” because she loved the results of her breast augmentation. She’s always been very open about all her cosmetic procedures, including a tummy tuck and lip fillers.

The Beverly Hills housewife got silicone lip injections when she was 24 years old. Later, in 2010, she had some of that filler taken out.

She explained on Today in 2013 that she found it fascinating how popular lip fillers had become, noting she’d seen so many women get the procedure. She felt like a trendsetter, saying she was among the first to openly admit to getting them. She even stated she’d do it again, playfully adding that her lip fillers had become more successful than her actual career, as she hadn’t had one before getting them!

Let’s talk about transformations! Back in 2009, when I was just starting out in the public eye, I decided to make some pretty dramatic changes. In one single day, I had ten different cosmetic procedures! It was a whirlwind, but I went for everything from Botox and a nose job to chin adjustments, and even fat injections to plump up my lips. It was a lot, but I wanted to completely refresh my look.
