Kaitlyn Bristowe reveals eye lift surgery with snaps of her bruised and reddened recovery

Kaitlyn Bristowe is in recovery mode after undergoing an eye lift.

The Bachelorette alum, 39, shared snaps from her recent blepharoplasty, a procedure targeting the eyelids, to her Instagram on Sunday.

Despite what must be an uncomfortable recovery, Kaitlyn managed to maintain her trademark sense of humor as she opened up about the procedure on social media.

She captioned a post chronicling her post-op with a reference to Meryl Streep's line in The Devil Wears Prada.  

'Don’t be ridiculous Andrea, everyone wants to look like this,' the post was humorously captioned as it began with a selfie of Kaitlyn with her red eyelids. 

The carousel included a snap of Kaitlyn - who's been open about her cosmetic work - in the hospital as she showed off her stitched-up eyelids.

The Bachelor vet raised an eyebrow as she sat in her bed with her hair contained within a blue net.

She followed it up with video of a nurse wheeling Kaitlyn through the hospital hallway in a wheelchair as she giggled.

Her newly-operated eyelids were bright red in another selfie she took from bed.

Kaitlyn first revealed her surgery Saturday with a carousel updating fans on the latest happenings at the 'Bristowe residence.'

'I got an upper bleph (take it to your group chat if you wanna be negative),' she wrote in the caption.

Her latest update came Monday with video of Kaitlyn marveling at her healing progress.

Her left eyebrow was bruised and considerably darker than her right, an aspect Kaitlyn found fascinating.  

'Okay this eye is like healed,' she said of her right lid. 'I don't know what is happening. I don't know if it's because I took a steroid pack, it's wild.

'They actually took more off this eyelid because this is the one that I really wanted to fix my droop.

'And then this one is healing so much slower but still so great,' she said of her left lid. 'I've seen some people with their healing journey of an upper bleph and mine's actually going really well.

'So yeah this is day four... and I'm just stoked on the healing journey!'

According to Cleveland Clinic, 'Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of your eyelids. It helps reduce the look of tired eyes from your lower lids and removes drooping skin from your upper lids.' 

Kaitlyn has been open about the cosmetic work she's had done in the past. 

'6 years since I was on the show, Brow lift, brow micro blading, got my teeth bonded, some filler In my lips, aging, darker hair, and I finally learned how to contour. Oh and I put on some weight'. she posted to social media back in 2021.

Hours later Kaitlyn followed up with a video to clarify she hasn't gone under the knife.

'Let me clarify brow lift because I’m having a chuckle over here, clearly by myself. Brow lift - I didn't go under the knife - all my friends were like "WHAT?!". No, I just got Botox to lift the brows,' Kaitlyn said while lifting one of her brows with her fingers.
