Gypsy Rose Blanchard Recovering After Undergoing Plastic Surgery
Originally appeared on E! Online
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has taken a major step in her physical transformation journey.
The 32-year-old, who was released from prison more than three months ago, got a nose job April 5.
Gypsy underwent both a rhinoplasty, which is aimed at improving a nose's appearance, and a septoplasty, which improves the ability to breathe. TMZ first reported about her physical transformation April 6, noting that Louisiana facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey J. Joseph performed the procedures.
In a photo posted by the outlet, Gypsy sports bandages over and under her nose while holding a half-eaten Bomb Pop.
She also told People that the surgery went "great" and spoke about her recovery. "I come in and out of sleep. I was in pain at first but I am on pain medicine," she said. "I can't breathe through my nose because of the packing but that comes off on the 10th."
Gypsy added, "I want to see it so bad!"

She had noted earlier this week that she planned to undergo the surgery, which would be documented in a new Lifetime docuseries. "I'm going through a personal transformation journey currently and that includes a physical one, too," Gypsy told People in a statement published April 4. "Wish me luck with my surgery and watch the whole thing this summer on Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up."
Her physical transformation began about a month after she was released from prison, where she served seven years for her role in the murder of her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. In late January, she showcased a shorter hairstyle.
"It's never too late to start reinventing yourself, even if it is something subtle like a new hairstyle," Gypsy wrote on Instagram at the time. "To All the girls, boys, and non binary…Enjoy life, express yourself in whatever creative ways that may you happy."
Gypsy, whose late mother had forced her to shave her head for a false cancer diagnosis, is embracing being able to have more control over her looks. "For me," she wrote in her Instagram post, "not having hair was really hard on my self-esteem."
As for her personal transformation, Gypsy is currently going through a breakup from husband Ryan Anderson, which she had announced in late March, and has been spending time with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker.
"We have not had any intimacy," Ken shared in an April 3 TikTok Live, per TMZ. "We're just hanging out as friends. That's all it is."
The following day, Ryan shared an update about his well-being post-breakup. "I haven't spoken to her, so I just don't know what's going on," he told the Daily Mail April 4. "I'm at a loss. I'm really not doing well at all."
Gypsy joins a long list of celebs who have undergone physical transformations of their own. Read on to find out who else has spoken about their own plastic or cosmetic procedures:
Gypsy Rose Blanchard
Gypsy underwent a rhinoplasty and septoplasty (both part of a nose job) in April 2024, TMZ reported, three months after she was released from prison (where she served seven years for her role in the murder of her mother Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard).
Brandi Glanville
The former Bravo star has been candid about her plastic surgery procedures in the past, including getting a nose job, having breast implants and dabbling with Botox and filler. And now, she's turned to CellSound's body sculpting treatment to tighten her stomach.
"I have actual abs," she told People in an interview published March 21. "I have lines on my stomach that I haven't had since before I got pregnant. I think any mother knows after kids the elasticity of your skin will never be the same."
Brittany Cartwright
The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the new Bravo series.
"I had work done on my double chin. We call it the turkey gobbler, runs in my family," she said on the March 14 episode of her When Reality Hits podcast. "No matter what I was going through, no matter how much weight I lost, I still felt I had something there."
Martha Stewart
After years of denying cosmetic procedures, the lifestyle expert recently confessed in the Feb. 8 episode of her eponymous podcast that she gets Botox, fillers and lasers to tighten her skin. "I don't think a lot about age," she explained, "but I don't want to look my age."

Lady Gaga
"I've never had any work-work done, but I went through a phase when I was smoking pot when I was really obsessed with getting facial injections," the "Born This Way" singer told radio host Howard Stern in 2013. "I was going to this strip mall in Chicago in the back…Everybody was like, 'You are a nut job.'...I'm telling you, I wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind, and I would smoke a bunch of joints and have some drinks and I would be like, 'Oh, let's go see my girl' and we would drive to this strip mall and I would get shot up with a bunch of whatever, Juvéderm, and then leave."
She continued, "Now all the stuff is gone. Before I shot the 'Applause' video, [a photographer friend] was like, 'Gaga, I love you but if you don't stop injecting s--t in your face I'm going to just kill you.'"
Bethenny Frankel
The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

In 2013, The Talk co-host revealed on the show that she got plastic surgery at the beginning of her career in order to make her eyes look bigger.
"And after I had it done, the ball did roll for me," she said. "And I wondered, did I give in to the man?"
She added, "I have to live with every decision that I've made. And it got me to where we are today. And I'm not going to look back."
Jamie Lee Curtis
"I've done it all," the actress told The Telegraph in 2002. "I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo. I've had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it."
Jennifer Aniston
"I had [a deviated septum] fixed–best thing I ever did," the actress told People in 2007. "I slept like a baby for the first time in years. As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it's still mine. All of it. Still mine."

In 2015, the reality star called Dr. Lenny Hochstein her "boob God" doctor for giving her perky breasts. Of course, the reality TV personality has been an open book about her other procedures, including a tummy tuck and lip injections.
Lisa Rinna
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star had her lips injected with silicone at age 24. In 2010, she had some of the filler removed.
"I find it so interesting that it's become such a big thing because I can't tell you how many girls have done their lips. I feel like I'm a pioneer," she said on Today in 2013. "I was one of the first ones to ever do it and be honest about it."She also said, "I would do it again. I never had a career before I had the lips so my lips have had their own career!"
Heidi Montag
In 2009, at just 23 years old, the Hills star underwent a head-to-toe transformation, having 10 cosmetic procedures done in one day. In addition to Botox, chin reductions and a nose job, the reality star also got fat injections in her lips.

Tyra Banks
In her memoir, Perfect Is Boring, the supermodel revealed that she went under the knife early in her career. "I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching," she wrote in her book. "I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose."
Kim Kardashian
"I really, genuinely care about looking good," the SKKN founder told Allure for its August 2022 issue. "I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It's not easy when you're a mom and you're exhausted at the end of the day or you're in school, and I'm all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone's in bed, I'm doing laser treatments."
Kim revealed she's also gotten "a little bit of Botox," but hasn't dabbled with filler on her lips or cheeks, revealing, "No filler. Never filled either one, ever."
Kristin Cavallari
During an Instagram Stories Q&A on Aug. 23, the reality TV star didn't shy away from answering a fan's question about her boobs. "Gonna keep it real with y'all," Kristin began her response. "Got a lift after breast feeding all 3 kids."
While The Hills alum isn't opposed to cosmetic procedures, she admitted she's "never done" Botox.
"It's not for me. But I've seen it look amazing on some people," she wrote. "My concern is that we don't know the long term effects of it (and I don't mean 5-10 years, I mean like 20 years) and I think your face is muscle, so we need to work it out the same way we would any other muscle."
John Stamos
In his new memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, John opened up about feeling insecure with his appearance, which led him to get two nose jobs. "That nose," he wrote. "It bothers me."
"My nose looks kind of pushed up like Peter Pan or something," he shared of the initial procedure. "So on my next hiatus, I have it redone by Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon."
Sia
The singer recently revealed she got a facelift.
"I'm a pop star that normally hides my face and doesn't lie about s--t," she said at the 5th annual Daytime Beauty Awards in Los Angeles on Oct. 1.. "I got an amazing face lift from Dr. Ben Talei. He is incredible. And he is doing so much good work—and not just for the pop stars of the world."
Nicki Minaj
The rapper revealed she recent went under the knife. "I had to get a breast reduction," she told Vogue in a cover story published Nov. 9, "and actually I love it. I used to want a bigger butt, and now I look back and realize how silly that was."
Vanessa Williams
Vanessa recently shared the cosmetic treatments she gets, telling Page Six, "I'm due for Botox. I don't do filler and I have so much full movement that there is no Botox at all."
When asked if she's thought about going under the knife, she replied, "That would be the one thing that I would probably put off for the very last thing. The technology now for lifting, sculpting, tightening, is incredible. And there's a machine for anything. I just got a microcurrent thing for your neck, it was called Forma and it's like a total package facial."
