Consider this a warning: the next time you see Jill Zarin, she’s going to look a little different. The Real Housewives of New York OG just shared that she underwent significant cosmetic surgery, including a facelift, chin implant, and fat transfer.
For the procedure, Jill hired Dr. Ira Savetsky, whose alleged use of the N-word caused his wife to drop out of the RHONY reboot. He spoke to Page Six about Jill’s cosmetic makeover, which they’re affectionately referring to as a “facial rejuvenation.”
“The procedure included a dual plane lower facelift and neck lift, which involved repositioning both the skin and underlying muscles to achieve a more youthful look. To enhance her profile, I placed a small chin implant,” Dr. Savetsky explained.
Additionally, he transferred fat into various parts of her body to add more volume to the RHONY OG. He noted that fat was transferred into her “midface, temples, earlobes, and hands.” Yes, even her hands.
To the average person, all of this cosmetic surgery might sound a bit jarring. However, for a Real Housewives star, this is just par for the course. Margaret Josephs, Karen Huger, and most recently, Caroline Stanbury, have all had similar procedures. It’s just what they do.
According to Dr. Savetsky, Jill is recovering from all the procedures “exceptionally well,” and he expects her to come out looking like a perfect little porcelain doll. For now, the work is still setting, so post-op photos show her bruised and swollen. Over the next few weeks, she’ll slowly start to look less puffy and more like a brand-new Jill! Meanwhile, we’ll be anxiously awaiting the big reveal of her new face, chin, earlobes, and hands.
Jill Zarin’s openness about her cosmetic enhancements underscores the continuing trend among Real Housewives stars to maintain and enhance their appearances through surgery. As Jill recovers, her fans and followers are eager to see the results of her dramatic transformation.
