Danniella Westbrook reveals the results of the latest stage of her facial reconstruction surgery after revealing she will undergo six more expensive procedures over 18 months

Danniella Westbrook has revealed the results of her latest reconstruction surgery after revealing she would undergo six procedures in the next 18 months.

The former EastEnders star, 52, is on a journey to repair her face after struggling with a collapsed septum following years of drug abuse.

This week Danniella had a hare lip reversal after recently revealing it was 'so far up [her face] now' and was pulling in the wrong direction.

Revealing the results following the facial surgery, Danniella shared pictures of her upper lip stitches after the upper vascular flap procedure and lip augmentation.  

The treatment's aim was to restore and enhance her facial features after years of well-documented health and reconstructive challenges. 

Despite the noticeable post-operative swelling and sutures, Danniella appeared upbeat as she shared an update with fans, marking another milestone in her ongoing recovery and transformation. 

The television personality has been open about her medical struggles over the years, regularly documenting her progress as she continues a series of specialist procedures designed to rebuild her appearance.

The update comes after Danniella appeared on Vanessa Feltz's Channel 5 show to discuss her latest surgeries, revealing she will undergo six more procedures over the course of 18 months before her face is fully repaired.

Earlier this year in March, Danniella jetted to Dubai to have a full face, neck and brow lift, as well as a lip and nose reconstruction.

While Danniella has proudly been showing the results of her new look, the actress confirmed on Monday that she will have yet another surgery later this week to have a metal cheekbone implanted in her face.

She said: 'I've been for umpteen surgeries, I'm coming up to surgery number six at the moment this Thursday, so it's quite scary.

'Since I got older the osteoporosis has set in on my bone. So on this side of my face, I don't have any bone at all.

'So they've got to rebuild all my bones. At the moment it's filler, but they've really got to do a metal bone. It's got to be put in there.

'So I've got to do at some point a metal cheekbone here and connect it to further up in here where the bone isn't corroding.'

Speaking to Vanessa Feltz on her Channel 5 chat show, Danniella was asked by the broadcaster how many more procedures she was facing.

She said: 'Another six to go, I think after this one. The next one they're doing is like a hare lip reversal. 

'Because my lip's so far up now where it's pulling up that way. Every two and a half, three months, I'm in surgery.

'I hate looking in the mirror. I've just recently had to have a facelift to realign both sides of my face because they were so wonky, just to get this nose in a certain position so we could start working on that.'

Danniella revealed she's been facing online trolling over her appearance, telling Vanessa: 'I've had people telling me to die and go kill myself and stuff like that. 

'I've had terrible trolling but I've also had a hell of a lot of nice people. I've had a lot of people that support me and a lot of lovely people online. 

'I think sometimes it's best just not to look at it so I don't often run my social media.'

Danniella underwent facial reconstruction at the Gargash Hospital in the UAE.

Danniella said at the time: 'I have three more nose operations to go. So we’re over half way there now. Facelift has really changed me and given me my confidence back.'  

The surgery was a huge milestone for Danniella, who has struggled with a collapsed septum following years of drug abuse. 

Danniella used surgeon Dr Parviz Sadigh, who has carried out operations on her in the past and has now undertaken the latest bid to rebuild her face.

The TV personality found fame at the age of 16 in EastEnders but due to her cocaine use producers were forced to terminate her contract and she was written out of the soap again in 1996.

Danniella has spoken in the past about how her addictions began, stating: 'I was always in clubs and everyone was doing coke and it was glamorous – except obviously, it wasn't at all. I was just very young, very stupid and very easily led...

'I think there should be someone at EastEnders to say to young people when they come in, "Look, your life is about to change, you're going to be invited places, and you'll be offered drugs."...

'Someone who can tell them what sort of people are about, and what sort of papers, and how quickly what you've worked for all those years can be gone'. 

She estimated she has spent around £250k on the drug.
