Keeping it real. The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/em><\/a> star Emily Simpson<\/strong><\/a> has never shied away from talking about her plastic surgery procedures \u2014 and her recent face-lift is no exception.<\/p>\n On Thursday, February 2, Simpson candidly explained her thought process behind the surgery<\/a> and gave fans a glimpse of the drastic change.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing middle-aged, gaining 30 pounds and then losing it, menopause \u2026 WHO knows what the exact culprit is \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0fbut a couple years ago I was watching myself on TV, and to my utter surprise I realized that I had completely lost my jawline,\u201d the Bravo personality, 47, captioned the before-and-after pictures<\/a> of her procedure. \u201cAfter a lot of research, and three consultations, I finally decided to use @drsiamakagha.topplasticsurgeon for my mini lower face\/ neck lift. He did an amazing job because I still look like myself \u2026 just like myself before my jawline packed up and left town.\u201d<\/p>\n Simpson, for her part, went on to praise her doctor\u2019s work and hinted she recently had another procedure that she plans on talking \u201cmore about soon.\u201d While she opted for the surgeries, the reality star noted that she also works out consistently<\/a> but there were some things she wanted to fix that she could not change naturally.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso, just a reminder that all women are allowed to choose what they do with their bodies and how they would like to age. From completely natural to surgery \u2026 it\u2019s up to each woman \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f,\u201d she ended her message.<\/p>\n In January 2022, Simpson exclusively spoke to Us Weekly<\/em> about her weight loss journey and coming to terms with her body<\/a> while in her 40s.<\/p>\n \u201cI spent, like, two years working out with a personal trainer just to try to get in really good shape and get my weight down. Middle age and the whole hip thing and not being able to work out and not move did not do me any favors at all,\u201d she told Us<\/em> referring to her 2019 hip replacement. \u201cThen, I had a little bit of surgery. I did have, like, a little lower facelift to kind of get my jawline back. I got my implants taken out. Now it\u2019s just consistency and it\u2019s finding the time.\u201d<\/p>\n As she gets older, Simpson admitted that she tries to be adaptable as she becomes more aware of how her body is different now<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think you have to just kind of embrace where you are in life, and our bodies change,\u201d the lawyer explained. \u201cI can tell I\u2019ve changed. My metabolism has changed, and it just kind of is what it is. I\u2019m just bigger than I used to be in my 20s and 30s, and that\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to her candor regarding her body, Simpson has also been vocal about her difficult journey to becoming a mother. The attorney is a mom of three<\/a> \u2014 she shares daughter Annabelle, 8, and twin sons Luke and Keller, 6, with her husband, Shane Simpson<\/strong>, who she has been married to since 2009. (She is also stepmom to Shane\u2019s two daughters.)<\/p>\n Before welcoming her children with Shane, Emily tried IVF but suffered from five miscarriages. After the tragic losses, Emily\u2019s sister, Sara Moffitt<\/strong>, offered to be a surrogate for her first child. Emily and Shane later welcomed their twins via another surrogate.<\/p>\n \u201cMy husband\u2019s family is very supportive too, and my sister of course for being there for me, and being a surrogate [for me],\u201d she shared with Moms.com<\/a> in October 2018 about her fertility struggles. \u201cI had a wonderful group of people around me. I was really lucky having everyone on my side.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
