Teresa Giudice revealed on TikTok On Friday she temporarily dissolves her lips for a more natural look.
“I know a lot of you are commenting on my lips,” the 52-year-old “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star said in her video as she took fans along for the process.
“I like my lips, but I’m going to try a different way.”
She said she noticed some filler migration in her upper lip, which inspired her to chat with Chanel from BeYouth Medspa in Caldwell, NJ, about her options. She said Chanel has botoxed her before.
“Instead of a wider look, we’re going for more height, a crisper purple border,” Chanel explained. “More natural looking.”
The borders of porridge, according to Hayes Valley Medical Estheticsis “the line of demarcation between your lips and the surrounding skin.”
The “Turning the Tables” host admitted she was “a little nervous, but excited” and ready to “start fresh.”
She showed fans the process of dissolving her fillers, which involved applying a numbing cream to her lips and receiving injections of an enzyme that attacks hyaluronic acid.
After the injections were done, Chanel put some bruise cream on the reality star and sent her on her way.
Before she left Giudice said she didn’t feel any pain or burning because her lips were completely numb.
Giudice updated her fans about eight and a half hours after her appointment and showed that she had some minimal bruising on her bottom lip, which was to be expected.
She confirmed she’ll be back at the medical spa in about two weeks to get some filler injections — though fans encouraged her not to.
“Leave them broken!! You look amazing – less can be more!” a fan urged in the comments section of the TikTok video.
“Keep your natural lips!!! They are amazing and you look younger!’ a second one was added.
“Leave them you look so beautiful!!!” wrote another excited fan. “I like your lips much better now without outside [sic] the filler!”
A fourth commented, “You don’t need filler!🥰.”
Giudice is open about the work she’s done over the years.
She first admitted to liposuction during “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 11 reunion in 2021. per Bravo.
In November 2021, she said she had “the tip” of her nose done earlier that year.
Last year, she revealed that she had her breasts rebuilt a decade after initially having an augmentation.
Giudice’s estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, claimed in 2023 that Giudice also had her forehead lengthened, though she never confirmed it herself.
