Like Khanyi Mbau, fellow socialite Jojo Robinson has debuted a new face after undergoing a R113 000 facelift last year.
The Real Housewives of Durban castmate was even praised by the Young, Famous and African star, who also underwent a pricey procedure to capture her youth.
JOJO ROBINSON SHOWS OFF NEW FACE
On her Instagram account, Jojo Robinson revealed the one-year results of a “life-changing” deep plane face and neck lift.
The procedure is similar to the one used by Hollywood stars Kris Jenner, Christina Aguilera, and Lindsay Lohan.
Sharing a before-and-after photo, the Real Housewives star posted: “I was made to believe on social media that having a facelift at 37 was slightly crazy, and although it probably is, my reply is, why not? There is no definitive age for anyone for anything.
“Everybody is different, and if you are unhappy with something and there is a tool available to fix it and you can afford it, then 100% age doesn’t matter. Why should I have waited for a more “appropriate” age to do the surgery when I want to look my best NOW? I’m on television and in the public eye, and watching myself on TV definitely didnt help how I felt about my face.
Jojo Robinson claimed that while the procedure wasn’t painful, it was “mentally hard” seeing the various stages of her recovery.
She added, “But you have to trust the process, trust the surgeon, and allow your body the space it needs to heal. Nothing happens overnight. The recovery is extremely long, and it seems to get worse before it gets better.”
‘REAL LIFE FILTER’
Like Jojo Robinson, Khanyi Mbau underwent a facelift to have a face that could look “filtered and face tuned in real time.”
Despite the lengthy recovery, which included painful swelling and bruising, Khanyi claimed she was happy with the results.
She shared in an Instagram Story: “I always used filters and FaceTune to achieve this look, now I look this way.
“It’s still going to get better as the skin tightens even more and the face takes its full shape. I lost a few years off my face.”
She added that she was excited about her “youthful” features.
