FANS have praised Catt Sadler after she shared a video of her recovery from a facelift, neck lift, and blepharoplasty.
The E! News reporter has been open about her decision to go under the knife.
Catt, 49, shared an intimate video on Tuesday, celebrating one year since she had plastic surgery on her face, neck, and eyelids.
In the clip, the Daily Pop star lay in bed post-operation, wearing a long-sleeved black top, surrounded by pillows and blankets.
The journalist gazed at the camera with her head wrapped in white bandages that stretched from her chin to her hairline and across her forehead.
Two drainage pumps hung around her neck as she stared into a portable bathroom mirror on her lap.
Catt’s face was immovable in the clip as she took a first look at herself post-surgery.
“I can barely open my eyes,” she told a friend who was recording her, hardly moving her mouth as she spoke.
“They’re very open,” the companion encouraged, laughing, “You’re gonna love it.”
Catt then silently gazed in the mirror until she let out a shocked squeak, covering her eyes.
“Oh my gosh. Woa. Woa,” she gasped before the clip cut out.
CATT’S MESSAGE
Words appeared on screen throughout the video that read, “Exactly one year ago.
