Like Khanyi Mbau, reality TV star Jojo Robinson is on a mission to age with a more “natural” face – via plastic surgery. The Real Housewives of Durban star has documented her journey on her latest round of doing under the knife.
She’s even joked that US singer Christina Aguilera – who debuted a new youthful face – was her “inspiration.”
JOJO ROBINSON DOCUMENTS PRICEY FACELIFT
According to the Real Housewives of Durban, Jojo Robinson shared her plans to undergo a facelift. However, this required her to remove all her facial fillers, which she believes had “botched” her face.
“I’m always having to edit my pics and use different filters, and I’m honestly so sick of it. I’m going to fix it,” she said in a TikTok video.
Jojo even jokingly showed her plastic surgeon a picture of Christina Aguilera, whose new youthful look has been a trending topic.
@mrsjojorobinson THE FACELIFT.. I chose to do the surgery with twilight anesthesia, so basically you are not under general anesthesia, you are administered sleeping tablets through and iv and the area is numb, essentially you are awake during the surgery. The reason I did the surgery this way was because it’s a 7 hour long procedure, and I was worried about being under for that amount of time it can be taxing on your body and myself personally I battle after general anesthesia.. ( An added benefit is that cost wise, this option is a lot less than full anesthesia). About 60- 70k less. I was extremely worried about the awake factor, but in all honesty, I remember nothing, and I felt nothing.. I also woke up so much better than I do under general. I’m actually so glad I went this route. I now have a 6 week recovery ahead, starting with a few weeks wearing a headband along with some hyperbaric treatments to help with swelling. I won’t get the full result for a long time and might remain swollen a few weeks.. but I’m well aware of the after surgery healing process, so it doesn’t really phase me. I can’t say enough how amazing @drpaulmcgarr is. He has created my entire body for me, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face. And no. I didn’t get it for free and post for advertising, I choose to share because way to many people gatekeep these things and honestly sometimes women just want advice from someone they know or have seen it work for. Cost wise. Again, it will depend on each individual case and what you want. I can only speak on my cost.. it cost R113k under Twilight, and it would have cost R180k for general anesthesia. Honestly, I wouldn’t go with general, tho after doing this. Hope it helps and I will keep everyone up to date with my healing here on my page.

@mrsjojorobinson Facelift, but make it Vogue That jawline is hitting the right spot. Only day 2 of recovery, and I’m already seeing the jawline of my dreams.. from here, I will still swell up more ( my eyes are doing their own thing at this point. lol) and bruising is starting to set in, but luckily, I’m well aware of the recovery journey after cosmetic surgery.. ( You do look like some sort of a monster for a while, and I’m fine with that) Might as well delete my face app 😂😂 this face is gonna give Hollywood 4 . @drpaulmcgarr, why are you so good, tho #deepplanefacelift #faceliftsurgery #facelift #faceliftrecovery #rhodurban #rhod #realhousewivesofdurban #cosmeticsurgery #durban ♬ Syren – Anyma & Rebūke

On the day of the procedure, Jojo revealed that she had opted to undergo the procedure with a “twilight anesthesia” and not a general one, essentially meaning she was awake throughout the seven-hour-long operation.
“I remember nothing and felt nothing. I also woke up so much better than I do with general anesthesia.
Jojo Robinson now has a six-week recovery period where she has to wear special protective gear and undergo treatments to aid swelling and healing.
THE STAGGERING COSTS
Jojo Robinson, who has been vocal about her plastic surgery journey, revealed that she had had the facelift with the surgeon who has done all her procedures.
In an interview on Carol Ofori’s podcast, the Real Housewives star revealed that she has had six major surgeries in her quest for her ideal body image.
After the birth of her son Rocco in 2016, the tatted TV star had a breast augmentation and lift as well as liposuction. She later had a tummy tuck and abdominoplasty. Jojo estimates her mommy makeover surgeries cost an excess of R800 000!
Jojo revealed her latest procedure cost her “around R113 000 under twilight anesthesia” and “R180 000 with general anesthesia”.
Speaking just a day after the op, Jojo bragged about the results, jokingly hailing her “jawline of my dreams.”
HOLLYWOOD CELEBS STEP OUT WITH NEW FACES
