Bunnie Xo’s Facelift Recovery: Updates & Candid Photos

Bunnie Xo, wife of Grammy-winning musician Jelly Roll, detailed a difficult recovery process following a recent facelift, describing feeling “choked from ear to ear” six days after the procedure.

Xo, 46, shared her experience in a video posted to Instagram, according to a report from WEAR-TV. “When it’s day 6 of your recovery you have cabin fever, watched every 2000’s movie, can barely walk w/o being winded, live in a recliner, feel like you’re being choked from ear to ear and everyone keeps telling you day 7 is the best day but that’s tomorrow and you have lost all faith in humanity,” she wrote.

The memoirist initially announced her plans for the surgery on the March 13 episode of her podcast, “Dumb Blonde,” stating, “I’ll be getting my facelift on Sunday the 15th, so send lots of prayers for your girl.” She acknowledged to listeners that the recovery would be challenging, anticipating bruising and a “weird” appearance.

Xo has continued to document her recovery on social media, sharing videos and photos of the process with her followers. One video showed her struggling to eat sushi due to limited mouth movement, while another displayed bruising after her stitches were removed.

Fans responded to Xo’s Instagram post with messages of support, with one commenter writing, “You already look amazing. It’s almost over. Can’t wait to see the final reveal,” and another stating, “It will be worth it hang in there.”
