What happened

Key facts

  • Todd and Julie Chrisley said they underwent facelifts together in July (per pagesix.com, istitutoimpariamo.it, people.com).
  • Julie said she had a lower face and neck lift and a CO2 laser procedure (per pagesix.com).
  • Julie described her lip lift recovery as painful and said the result had not yet settled (per pagesix.com).

The brief

Todd and Julie Chrisley said they underwent facelifts together in July, with Julie describing painful recovery from a lip lift and Todd saying he felt little soreness. Page Six reported that the couple discussed the procedures on Bunnie Xo’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast.

Headlines from People.com and Istituto Impariamo also identify the procedures as joint facelifts and say Julie went first. Julie said she had a lower face and neck lift along with a CO2 laser procedure. She described the recovery from her lip lift as painful and said the result had not settled in.

The account does not specify how long her recovery had lasted or when she expected the result to settle. Todd said he joined Julie for the procedures after she told him she wanted them. He also said he felt little soreness. The reported remarks thus describe different recovery experiences: Julie’s lip lift recovery was painful, while Todd reported little soreness.

The procedures took place in July, more than a year after the couple’s release from prison in May 2025. Page Six reported that their release followed a pardon from President Donald Trump. The couple’s account links the timing of the cosmetic procedures to July, but it does not provide a more specific date. Page Six reported that Julie underwent her procedures first.

Todd said he agreed to go with her after she expressed interest in having the procedures. The People.com headline likewise says the couple revealed who had the procedures first, while Istituto Impariamo’s headline highlights Todd’s role in Julie going first. The reported account centers on the procedures and the couple’s descriptions of recovery.

Julie’s comments concern a lip lift, in addition to the lower face and neck lift and laser procedure she said she had; Todd’s comments describe his own soreness. Neither the account nor the headlines provide additional medical details about the procedures or their recovery.

What to watch next
