RHOC’s Tamra Judge Denies Surgery amid Recent Weight Loss: ‘I’m Definitely Thinner’

Tamra Judge is clearing the air when it comes to her looks.

On the Monday, July 14 episode of her Two T’s in a Pod podcast, the 57-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star was joined by Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Dolores Catania. During the show, Catania praised how beautiful Judge looked during her latest appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live. 

“Thank you,” Judge replied. “Everyone’s, like, ‘What? You look different.’ I think even Andy said that.” 

“I’m like, my hair’s darker. I’m definitely thinner, which makes a difference, I think, in your face. And then, new teeth. That’s it, guys,” she quipped. “No surgery, no nothing.”

Catania added that Judge looks “amazing.”

“And your face even, you know, you've lost weight and your skin is very tight,” she said.

Although she denied having any surgery to achieve her recent weight loss, Judge opened up about having a brow lift, CO2 laser and chemical peel last year.

"Taking you all along on my journey!" she captioned the candid video prior to the cosmetic procedures. "I visited Dr. Donald Mowlds in Newport Beach, who works alongside Dr. Ambe, for a brow lift, CO2 laser and a blue chemical peel."

"Seven years ago, I had a lower facelift but skipped the upper — like painting the house but forgetting the trim," she wrote. "Stay tuned for updates!"

Just ahead of her surgery, Judge snapped a selfie for her Instagram Stories and joked that she had "never felt prettier" as she posed in her medical gown with a cap covering her hair.

Mowlds' website states that a brow lift is done to remove wrinkles from the forehead, and a "blue peel" is a "ZO controlled depth peel" which uses Trichloroacetic acid with a blue-colored dye to tighten the skin and correct wrinkles or scars without surgery.

"Ok guys, I made it. I am one hour in recovery," Judge tells the camera in one part of the video, speaking from her hospital bed. "I don't feel bad. My eyes are all blurry because there's, like, something like Vaseline in there or something. But — let the healing begin."

This isn't the reality TV star's first time sharing candid updates about her health and surgeries. In October 2023, Judge revealed on social media that she had been hospitalized for an intestinal obstruction after experiencing stomach pain.

Prior to that, she underwent a life-saving emergency surgery to remove a strangulated hernia in 2012. The procedure left her with a damaged, off-center belly button, and in December 2022, she decided to undergo a corrective abdominoplastyI to address the issue.

It was "one of the most painful things I've ever done in my life,” Judge told PEOPLE in February 2023 about the experience. “God knows I've gone under the knife before, but recovering from this has been worse than anything I've ever done. I mean, I've given birth to four children and even that was easier!"
