Gypsy Rose Blanchard is excited to unveil a new look after her cosmetic surgery 'went great'
LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA: Gypsy Rose Blanchard is eager to see her new look after undergoing cosmetic surgery on Friday, April 5.
Blanchard, who was previously convicted of second-degree murder in Missouri for the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, told People Magazine that the operation "went great."
"I come in and out of sleep. I was in pain at first but I am on pain medicine," the 32-year-old added. "I can't breathe through my nose because of the packing but that comes off on the 10th," she said of her recovery process before expressing excitement over the final look. "I want to see it so bad!”
Blanchard was released from her procedure around 1.30 pm on Friday. The surgery took place in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was preparing to undergo the nose job
Blanchard previously told the outlet early Friday that she was preparing to undergo rhinoplasty to change the shape and appearance of her nose.
"I’m going through a personal transformation journey currently and that includes a physical one, too," she said in an exclusive statement. "Wish me luck with my surgery and watch the whole thing this summer on Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up."
Gypsy Rose Blanchard 'wanted a more feminine-looking nose'
According to Blanchard's close friend Nadiya Vizier, she has been wanting to undergo the procedure for a while.
"She said she's a bit nervous, but she's happy it's going to be done," Vizier told the outlet. "The main thing is that she wanted a more feminine-looking nose. She just wants to fix it up and give it a more feminine look."
Her friend further noted that making the change is Blanchard's right. "My main message is to just, people need to let her live, let her experience, if they know that she's doing something good or wrong, let her experience that. Let her learn from it. I feel like in a way, people are still trying to control her."
Gypsy Rose Blanchard recently separated from her husband Ryan Anderson
The surgery came shortly after Blanchard announced her separation from her husband of nearly two years, Ryan Anderson.
The former convict was also spotted spending quality time with her ex-fiance Ken Urker following her split. Urker apparently joined her in getting matching tattoos earlier this week.
"They're very cool," Urker's mother Raina Williams told the outlet of the pair, after confirming they had reconnected following Blanchard and Anderson's split. "Ken is just being a supportive friend to her."
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison in 2023
Blanchard was set free from prison in December of 2023 after serving eight years of her 10-year prison sentence for conspiring to murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.
"I'm ready to expand, and I think that goes for every facet of my life," she previously told the outlet in an exclusive interview just before her release.
