Overview
- The seven-hour deep plane facelift was performed by Argentine surgeon Andrés Freschi, and Medina traveled with her personal physician, Joana Bernedo, who is overseeing her care.
- Bernedo said Medina’s first postoperative night involved severe pain managed with analgesics, then noted marked reductions in pain and swelling by day four.
- Her regimen includes hyperbaric chamber sessions that began on day three and prescribed light walks as she continues to heal with visible swelling and sutures.
- Medina told followers she is covering her face to conceal lateral pads and a bruised eye and is advancing from puréed foods due to chewing discomfort from lateral stitches.
- Online reaction has ranged from supportive to mocking comparisons, and Medina insists this is her first face and neck surgery, a statement some followers publicly dispute.
