AceShowbiz - Fans of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Tamra Judge were given an unfiltered look into her recovery process after undergoing a brow lift, a carbon-dioxide laser treatment, and a blue chemical peel late last week. The 57-year-old Bravolebrity didn't just share the physical aftermath on her Instagram, but also revealed the savage commentary she received from her mom, Sandy Baker.

Taking to Instagram, Judge posted a screenshot of text messages from her mom that read, "Your face literally makes me want to throw up," followed by, "It looks so painfully [sic] and you do not look like yourself." Baker didn't hold back, further adding that a friend thought her daughter had been in a motorcycle accident.

The reality star took the jabs in stride, replying to her mom with laughing emojis and agreeing that her recovery "feels like a motorcycle accident." Judge also shared a video where she said, "I literally can't stop laughing about my mom's text message to me. You guys know where I get my empathy from, right? I can't. She's too much."

In her candid updates, Judge has openly discussed her recovery journey, highlighting the not-so-glamorous aspects like facial swelling and discomfort, which she says were at their worst on her birthday. "The swelling is pretty bad," Judge admitted, adding that she felt slightly better after taking a shower and being able to turn on the TV for a change.

Judge's honest portrayal of her healing process has drawn a mixed reaction from her social media followers. While some fans have praised her for her transparency, others seem to share her mom's level of concern. Despite the rough recovery, Judge encouraged her followers to stay tuned for more updates, displaying a hopeful attitude that things will improve in time.

On pain medication and advised by her doctor to start a steroid pack for the swelling, Judge continued to keep her followers updated. She shared moments of struggle and minor victories, like her attempt to walk around her kitchen to alleviate post-surgery constipation, all while maintaining her characteristic humor and resilience.

In a world where cosmetic procedures are often glamorized, Tamra Judge's raw and unfiltered experience serves as a reminder of the real, sometimes harsh side of beauty enhancements. As her journey continues, her openness about the whole ordeal - brutal texts from mom included - paints a vivid picture of the ups and downs of post-surgery recovery.
