Teresa Giudice revealed on TikTok Friday that she’s temporarily dissolving her lip fillers to attain a more natural look.
“I know a lot of you make comments about my lips,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 52, said in her video as she took fans along for the process.
“I like my lips but I’m gonna try a different way.”
She said she noticed some filler migration in her upper lip, which inspired her to chat with Chanel from BeYouth Medspa in Caldwell, NJ, about her options. She said Chanel has done Botox for her before.
“Instead of a wider look, we’re gonna go for more height, a crispier vermilion border,” Chanel explained. “A more natural look.”
The vermilion border, according to Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics, is “the line of demarcation between your lips and the surrounding skin.”
The “Turning the Tables” host admitted she was “a little nervous, but excited” and ready to “start fresh.”
She showed her fans the process of getting her fillers dissolved, which included having a numbing cream applied to her lips and receiving injections of an enzyme that attacks hyaluronic acid.
After the injections were done, Chanel applied some bruising cream to the reality star and sent her on her way.
Before Giudice left, she said she was in no pain and felt no burning because her lips were completely numb.
Giudice updated fans about eight and a half hours after her appointment and showed that she had some minimal bruising on her bottom lip, which was expected.
She confirmed that she will return to the med spa in about two weeks to get some filler injections — though fans encouraged her not to.
“Leave them dissolved!! You look amazing – less can be more!” one fan urged in the comment section of her TikTok video.
“Keep your natural lips!!! They are stunning and you look younger!” a second added.
“Leave them you look so pretty!!!” another thrilled fan wrote. “I like your lips a lot better now with out [sic] the filler!”
A fourth commented, “You don’t need filler!🥰.”
Giudice has been open about the work she’s gotten done over the years.
She originally admitted to getting her lips done during “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 11 reunion in 2021, per Bravo.
In November 2021, she said she had “the tip of” her nose done earlier that year.
The year prior, she revealed she had her breasts redone a decade after originally getting an augmentation.
Giudice’s estranged sister-in-law Melissa Gorga claimed in 2023 that Giudice also had her forehead lengthened, though she never confirmed that herself.
