Ruby Tuesday Matthews rips her facelift stitches while crying over the death of her best friend

She broke down in tears on Instagram last week, revealing her struggles with the loss of her best friend and the mounting pressures of motherhood and work. 

And Ruby Tuesday Matthews, 33, has encountered even more bad luck after accidentally ripping her facelift stitches while crying. 

The Byron Bay influencer underwent an endoscopic facelift in Seoul last month, and has been sharing her recovery process with fans online. 

'I've obviously re-ripped my stitches,' she told her Instagram followers after a particularly intense bout of crying.

Ruby made headlines on Tuesday after she opened up about her emotional turmoil from her South Korean hotel room. 

In a raw video shared with her followers, Ruby said she had been through some of the biggest changes of her life, including the death of her best friend, Byron Bay property developer Myles Trainor.

Trainor, 41, died in June, leaving behind two young sons. Ruby had previously paid tribute to her close friend, who was the godfather to her daughter Holiday.

She also revealed she had undergone a failed dilation and curettage procedure, known as a D&C, followed by emergency surgery.

'Just been through some of the biggest changes as of late, losing my best friend, which I think has just really hit me, having a D&C that failed and then having to have an emergency surgery which hormonally has f**ked me,' she said.

Ruby said the combination of her personal struggles and professional responsibilities had left her feeling overwhelmed.

'Working with the most insane deadlines. I'm struggling so much in motherhood and navigating my children,' she said. 

'And on top of that, being someone who is neurodiverse myself and having ADHD, I've always felt like emotional regulation, extremely hard.' 

Ruby added that she has been feeling overwhelmed by 'financial obligations' as well as her recent decision to part ways with her management.

Ruby stressed that she was not sharing the video to receive sympathy or messages of reassurance, but rather to be honest about how difficult life could become.

'There's so many other people who reach the end of their tether,' she said.

'And I just wanted to say that, like, I feel you and I'm a normal person too.'

The influencer, who has previously spoken publicly about her mental health, said she believed people often forgot that the lives presented on social media did not tell the full story.

'I don't think that people forget that everyone shows the sides of their lives that is so great,' she said.

Ruby also spoke about the physical toll of undergoing surgery, saying she felt exhausted while trying to continue working overseas.

In another emotional video, she said she had not felt like herself since experiencing postnatal depression.

'I'm at this weird point, I haven't felt since kind of like having postnatal depression where I'm in such a weird headspace and usually I can get myself out of it,' she said.

'But I'm obviously overseas and I have to go to work an hour and pack my suitcase and keep going.'

Ruby said her demanding schedule had left her feeling as though she could barely catch her breath.

'I'm just at the point of overwhelm,' she reiterated, adding: 'I know I have people I can reach out to, but I'm feeling so f**king alone. And I'm feeling it pretty lost.'

The emotional admission came weeks after Ruby splashed $16,000 on a facelift in South Korea. 

Her decision has sparked fierce debate online, with some accusing the influencer of being a 'bad influence' while others have praised her for being transparent with her fans.
