Opening up.
Bachelor Nation got to know and love Kathy Swarts from “The Golden Bachelor” and her podcast “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” with co-host and fellow Bachelor Nation star Susan Noles.
Kathy has been keeping fans up to date on her life since her time on the show, and recently shared that she underwent face-lift surgery.
She has been documenting her healing journey online, and now, the Bachelor Nation star has taken to Instagram to answer some fan questions she’s received about her surgery in a new video.
Kathy starts off by saying, “You have questions, I have answers about my face-lift. Here it is completely done, completely healed.”
She then continues and goes more in depth about the treatments she had done during her surgery.
She said, “People have asked so many times what I had done. I had a lower face-lift, which means they just do beneath the cheekbones. And they pulled my neck a little bit… I wanted to look how I look normally. I just wanted a few of the wrinkles to be pulled to the side. And voilà, I got it.”
Kathy then answered some more questions about whether she had any other treatments done in addition to the face-lift.
She revealed, “I had a CO2 laser… It didn’t hurt at all; it just [swells] your face up because I don’t know… chemicals, lasers, who knows?… And then I had IPL, which got rid of all the brown spots. I don’t sit in the sun, but just age and reflection of the sun, you do get brown spots on your face. So, that cleared my complexion completely.”
Kathy finished her video Q&A by sharing what her experience was like and how she feels about the end result.
“It hurts a little bit when they’re doing it,” she admitted, “but well worth it because look at the result. I have the face of a baby’s butt.”
Kathy has also been very vocal about why she decided to undergo these treatments and shared that she’s doing it for her.
She stated in another video, “I just wanted to give a little comment about why I’m doing this because some of you have asked. I’m doing this for me. It makes me feel better. So, I know it’s not for everybody, but it is for me, so I hope that helps.”
Fellow Bachelor Nation star Joan Vassos commented on the video, “You go girl! You are always beautiful inside and out. You should do what makes you feel happy and I look forward to seeing the new and improved Kathy in a few weeks! Love you!”
We are so glad Kathy’s healing journey went well and appreciate her being so open about her whole experience.
We love seeing her so happy, and we agree with Joan — she’s always beautiful inside and out!
