Margaret Josephs, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is giving fans an intimate look at her recent cosmetic transformation. The 58-year-old reality TV personality shared updates on her healing process following a rhinoplasty, stem cell treatment, and fat transfer.
On Wednesday, March 4, Josephs posted an Instagram carousel documenting her swollen and bruised face immediately after surgery. “No one wants a droopy tip… some might call it a rhinoplasty, I call it a ‘nasal rejuvenation’ 😜. As I got older, my tip started to droop when I smiled, and I was really unhappy about it,” she explained in the caption.
The fashion designer reflected on how her perspective on her nose changed over time. “When I was younger, I never disliked my nose and could never imagine doing a nose job. But with age, the cartilage in my nose didn’t support my tip, and it emphasized a slight bump. Every photo of me, I really noticed it, and it bothered me,” Josephs added.
Josephs underwent the procedure with Los Angeles-based surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie. She described her results as a “subtle upgrade” that has “made such a huge difference.”
She also cautioned her followers about the immediate post-surgery appearance: “As you swipe, you’ll see the swelling, don’t freak out.” In images taken 24 hours after surgery, Josephs displayed bandages on her nose, bruising, and dark circles under her eyes while recovering at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
In a mirror selfie, she showcased her bruised face while wearing a large hat and sunglasses, joking, “I’ve got some balls to walk around Beverly Hills like this 😂.” Another playful snapshot poolside carried the caption, “scaring children at the pool.”
Eight weeks later, Josephs revealed her fully healed results. With no bandages or visible bruising, she appeared rejuvenated and satisfied with the outcome of her procedure.
