If reality TV fans hadn’t already heard of Jill Zarin from her former days as a Real Housewife of New York City, they surely will have heard about her causing a stir on Below Deck. The 60-year-old sits down to chat with a fellow Real Housewife this summer. She tells Teresa Giudice how she “got more sh** for that than she ever did as a Housewife.”
To the delight of Real Housewives fans, Jill Zarin and Teresa Giudice had a big old catch-up on Tre’s Turning The Tables by Teresa Giudice podcast this July. Teresa tells Jill she looks “amazing” and adds how she had a sneaky suspicion she’d had some kind of work done.
Jill talks through her facelift journey
“She did something… but she looks so good,” says Teresa Giudice as she catches up with Jill on her Turning The Tables by Teresa Giudice podcast.
Jill explains how she had a lower facelift: “I did my lids like five years ago.”
Pointing to the top half of her face, she says: “This was all good, but I was getting the jowls and the neck.”
Teresa takes a look at her own neck and explains how she had “Botox put in there.”
Jill explains how she also opted for the same thing but said: “But, it only lasts so long.”
She chose to have the procedure carried out by a New York-based surgeon, Jill added: “I like to pick a surgeon that is young, not too young, he’s like 41, so he’s literally in his prime… he’s not tired.”
The 60-year-old said the doctor had some techniques up his sleeve: “He sews an underlayer, that perhaps other doctors don’t do.”
RHONY star had surgery for her TV career
At 60 years old, Jill explains how she opted for a lower facelift because she’s “doing television.”
She adds: “If I wasn’t doing television, I think I could’ve waited.”
Speaking of finding the right surgeon for the job, she said: “The whole thing is very stressful.”
But, she found her doctor after a recommendation from Lindsay Lohan’s mom, Dina Lohan, who she says “looks amazing.”
Jill rose to fame as a Real Housewives of New York star in 2008 and spent four seasons on the show. More recently she appeared on Below Deck and she’s also a cast member on Amazon Prime’s The Goat.
