TOWIE star Bobby Norris looked unrecognisable as he has shared a glimpse of his painful recovery after undergoing a face and neck lift on Monday.
The TV personality, 39, who is no stranger to cosmetic procedures, sported a bruised and bandaged face as he shared an update from his hospital bed to Instagram.
Bobby’s eyes and cheeks were incredibly swollen as he explained to followers that he’d medics had performed lifts as well as a Lower Blepharoplasty, which removes loose skin from the eyes, following an Upper Blepharoplasty in 2024.
He said: ‘So I had surgery done yesterday so this is my first day post op, i thought i’d do a little bit of an update for you’
‘So i’ve had face lift, a lower Lower Blepharoplasty which is like the lower skin under the eyes, had a neck lift,’
Gazing at his reflection he joked: ‘We’re not getting the Vogue cover this month’.
Bobby captioned the clip: ‘Fresh out of surgery… Face & Neck Lift + Lower Blepharoplasty completed yesterday. This is DAY 1′.
Before adding: ‘The real transformation happens over the next few weeks.. Wait for the healing process’
Bobby joined TOWIE in 2012 and became known for his friendship with Gemma Collins and romances with the likes of ex Harry Derbidge.
In 2024 he was forced to shut down speculation he’ undergoing gender reassignment surgery after having multiple cosmetic treatments, transforming his appearance.
Telling followers: ‘I’ve had upper left blepharoplasty, an upper eye lid surgery. I’ve had my buccal fat removed from my cheeks, I’ve had liposuction under my chin and 360 body liposuction.’
He has previously admitted to ‘falling down the rabbit hole of having fillers’ after being offered free treatments during his time on TOWIE.
Last year, Bobby spoke about the realisation he had gone ‘too far’, admitting: ‘Sometimes you aren’t aware of how you look until you see certain pictures or a paparazzi shot. I don’t look like me anymore.’
Cosmetic surgery expert Dr Mo Hamed, who specialises in natural aesthetics. told Daily Mail: ‘When Bobby started on TOWIE, he was very baby faced, given his young age, with minimal to no treatments.
‘Throughout the years, he’s had multiple cosmetic procedures including Botox, jawline filler, and cheek filler but now Bobby has taken his adjustments to the next level by undergoing surgical, non-reversible enhancements.
‘He has recently spoken about having his buccal fat removed, which is where a surgeon takes the fat between your cheek bones and your jawline to give the client a more contoured and sunken in model appearance and chiselled jawline.
‘But the longterm impact of losing your buckle fat pad can be disastrous because it can help to give the face a more youthful look as you get older. Bobby has also described having 360 liposuction, where he would have had fat taken from his abdomen, the flanks and his back.’
