Jessi Draper, star of ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’, has recently opened up about her experience with plastic surgery. At 33, she underwent multiple cosmetic procedures on her face earlier this year, including an upper and lower blepharoplasty and facial fat grafting. Fans noticed significant changes to her appearance, with swelling that lingered longer than expected.
In a candid Instagram post on Thursday, Mar. 5, Draper addressed the criticism she received about her post-surgery appearance. She admitted to being “extremely unhappy” with the results of the procedures. Draper expressed regret over not fully understanding the implications of the surgeries she underwent, particularly the facial fat grafting that she was convinced to get alongside the blepharoplasty.
The reality star shared that she had not wanted the fat grafting or lip injections that were performed, and that she now felt self-conscious and insecure about her altered appearance. Draper revealed that she recently received Kybella injections in an attempt to reduce facial swelling caused by the procedures.
As Draper navigates filming ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ season 5, she has been vocal about feeling uncomfortable with her changed look. The star expressed disappointment in how the surgeries have impacted her career, as being on TV and in the limelight requires a level of confidence that she currently lacks.
Throughout the show’s run, Draper has been transparent about her insecurities and the various cosmetic procedures she has undergone, including a nose job, breast augmentation, and labiaplasty. Despite the challenges she faces post-surgery, Draper remains open with her fans about her experiences and struggles.
As all ten episodes of ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ season 4 are set to premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on Thursday, March 12, Draper’s journey with plastic surgery serves as a reminder of the risks and consequences that can come with altering one’s appearance.
