Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs has nothing to hide, especially when it comes to her confidence.
The Bravolebrity, 58, revealed that she underwent a nose job — or as she liked to call it: a “nasal rejuvenation” — describing it as a “subtle refresh” that delivered big self-esteem energy.
“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 in my nose also,” Josephs wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, March 4, sharing photos of her recovery process. “Every photo of me I really noticed it and it bothered me.”
Josephs paid a visit to Dr. Gary Motykie, a West Hollywood-based plastic surgeon, who was able to get her the results she was looking for. The reality star said she just wanted a “slight tweak” to the tip of her nose because she felt the appearance was “droopy.”
“Now my nose fits my face so [perfectly] and no one can quite put their finger on why… not even my family members!” she gushed. “I am a huge advocate for doing what makes YOU happy and feel your best,” Josephs continued. “It made such a huge difference to me.”
Josephs quipped about “scaring small children” while recovering poolside at The Beverly Hills Hotel. “Ps I also [had] fat transfer and stem cells on my face so as you swipe you’ll see the swelling, don’t freak out it 😂 it was to restore volume in the face too.”
Josephs, who joined RHONJ during season 8, shared a “before” photo of her side profile, as well as a pic captured 24 hours after her rhinoplasty, stem cell treatment and fat transfer procedure. “I’ve got balls to walk around Beverly Hills like this,” she added in another slide with a laughing emoji.
She also uploaded a bruised and bandaged selfie while spending time at the luxury hotel. Her bandages came off on seven days post-op, on which day she gave an updated glimpse at her side profile.
Josephs was brimming with confidence eight weeks later in a photo captured during her high school reunion.
More recently, the reality star proudly showcased her refreshed look last month while attending a Broadway show in New York City.
Days later, Josephs shared a sweet message for husband Joe Benigno on February 14. “Stuck with me forever! Happy Valentine’s Day @therealsuperjoe,” she wrote. “Love you beyond words.”
