Bec Judd shocks fans as she reveals results of beauty procedure that has left her neck covered in lumps in bid to look like Kris Jenner
Rebecca 'Bec' Judd has long denied that she's had any plastic surgery. But the 41-year-old AFL WAG has been incrementally dropping more hints about the non-invasive procedures she uses to maintain her age-defying visage. On Thursday, Bec paid a visit to aesthetic nurse and former clinical specialist Claire McGuiness, who offers a 'conservative approach to facial rejuvenation' using radio frequency microneedling, LED therapies, and injectables. 'Give me Kris Jenner 's neck without the surgery,' Bec captioned a snapshot of her neck after what appears to be an 'Exion' treatment. The media personality showed off three rows of distinct red and swollen bumps peppered across her neck after her appointment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Exion, a type of radio frequency microneedling, creates controlled micro-injuries and applies heat to the skin, which can cause temporary redness, swelling, and bumps as the skin responds and repairs itself. The treatment boosts hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin without needles. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to McGuiness for comment. Bec is referring to Kardashians matriarch Kris Jenner as a reference point because the 69-year-old caused an online meltdown when she appeared in Paris last month, accompanying her daughter Kim, 44, during court appearances. The world-famous momager looked decades younger than her age. Social media commentators begged to know the name of her doctor—and even suggested Jenner had discovered 'the fountain of youth'. Her representatives later confirmed she had enlisted celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Steven M Levine - also known as 'the facelift maestro' - to achieve her new look. Expensive non-surgical treatments and undetectable face lifts are gaining popularity as the tide of popular opinion turns against fillers. In April, Bec fired up about the unrealistic beauty standards foisted upon women of a certain age in the public eye. 'I am around the same age as Lindsay (Lohan), Anne (Hathaway) and Hilary (Duff). For the record, I think they look unreal' she began in several fiery Instagram posts. 'Beauty standards for women are just impossible. If you show signs of ageing you have let yourself go. 'If you look too fresh faced for your age, you are accused of getting work done and blamed for promoting vanity when you should just be comfortable with growing old and looking old. '"Oh but yuk", society says, "women shouldn't look old." And so the cycle continues. Women can't win.' In a further post, Bec got heated defending the right of women to amend their looks as they saw fit - or to do nothing at all. 'So here is my take on it - "Let Her". Let her have her hard earned wrinkles from years of smiling. Let her have injectables. Let her have grey hair,' she wrote. 'Let her get her roots touched up every month. Let her skin sag. Let her get a facelift. Let her wear no makeup. Let her look fully glammed. Let her have a natural smile. Let her get veneers. Let her have a hairy body. Let her get all the lasers. The list goes on.' Bec added: 'Let her be comfortable in the body she is in because it is her body and her choice and we are all on our own journey with ageing. 'I believe that we all sit on a spectrum of vanity. There's the zero fucks end and the full fucks end (I'm closer to the full fucks end) and no matter where you sit, you do you girl. LET HER.' Bec has long been a beacon of ageless beauty, spruiking skincare brands, facials and non-surgical treatments for her plump visage. For two decades, she has denied having any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure done, instead pointing to healthy living and expensive skincare as her saving grace. However, Bec has been more open about regularly receiving non-surgical cosmetic treatments from the Flawless Rejuvenation clinic in Melbourne in recent months. These include: EXION RF microneedling, hydrafacials, laser genesis, fraxel laser treatments (which in 2017 Bec said felt like a 'blow torch' to the face), and LED masks.

Kris' procedure is believed to be a deep plane facelift. Locally, actor Khanyi Mbau's blepharoplasty also sparked a conversation about a major trend: the rise of natural-looking facelifts that don't scream 'surgery'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Khanyi Mbau Metanoia (@mbaureloaded) Professor Chrysis Sofianos, one of South Africa's top plastic surgeons and among the few in the country offering this specialised procedure, describes to TRUELOVE the deep plane facelift as 'the gold standard in facial rejuvenation'. 'Unlike traditional facelifts that pull on the skin, this technique repositions the deeper structures beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer. This vertical lift restores natural volume to the cheeks, enhances jawline definition and rejuvenates the neck – without distorting facial expression or creating a 'tight' look.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kris Jenner (@krisjenner) The Kardashian/Jenner clan has been no stranger to cosmetic surgery conversations but it seems as though they're more open and honest about procedures they've done. People confirmed that Kris underwent cosmetic enhancement from New York City-based plastic surgeon Dr Steven Levine.

There are many traditional facelifts and blepharoplasties patients who will look natural or like they have not had any plastic surgery done. What is different is that they are done by talented plastic surgeons,' says Johannesburg-based aesthetic doctor Dr Reza Mia. Curious about what exactly goes in to getting this groundbreaking facial procedure? The experts have got you covered. Specifics of the deep plane facelift From pricing in South Africa to recovery time, Professor Chrysis shares some insight into the specifics of the deep plane facelift. 'In South Africa, a deep plane face and neck lift typically costs between R150 000 and R200 000, depending on surgical complexity and hospital setting. When combined with procedures like eyelid surgery, lip lifts or skin resurfacing, a full facial rejuvenation package can cost up to R275 000. 'Recovery is usually smoother than with older techniques. Initial swelling and bruising resolve within 10 to 14 days, with most patients returning to daily activities in two to three weeks. Full recovery takes a few months, with final results revealing a refreshed and natural appearance,' Professor Chrysis explains. He also highlights that in the recovery phase after surgery, doctors will put together tailored recovery plans for each patient and do non-surgical treatments like Botox, laser resurfacing and derma fillers to maintain results and enhance the look. Rising cosmetic surgery trends in South Africa Many local stars have been vocal about their cosmetic procedures, whether the decision was based on a medical need or purely for confidence. From Boity Thulo's breast reduction and Lalla Hiryama's implant removal to Sithelo Shozi and Gogo Skhotheni's Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), local surgeons are seeing a definite rise in natural. subtle body and face rejuvenation procedures. As a growing number of South Africans view cosmetic procedures as an investment in confidence and wellbeing, some medical institutions are now offering structured payment plans to make surgery more accessible. Professor Chrysis Sofianos Professor Chrysis reveals that he is seeing these trends in women in their 30s and 50s hoping to keep a youthful and refreshed appearance without looking overdone. 'The deep plane facelift, fat grafting and regenerative treatments like Morpheus8 and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy are all in high demand among this group. These procedures offer refined, long-lasting results and can be tailored to the individual's anatomy and stage of ageing.' He continues, 'At the same time, we've seen a steady increase in male patients, particularly professionals in their 40s and 50s, seeking subtle enhancements to reduce signs of stress and fatigue while maintaining a masculine appearance.' Dr Reza echoes Professor Chrysis' findings and explains why PRP therapy is becoming so popular in Mzansi. 'The most exciting innovation we've seen in recent times is the platelets-rich evolution of platelets. It gives us an ability to give patience the universally attractive traits of healthy skin and a full head of hair at the same time we're able to make filler out of the actual blood. 'The patients don't need to rely on artificial hyaluronic acid fillers and its unfortunate side effects and we're able to then make great results, which are also stimulating the skin. It also it gives us something that could never be done before. We are able to inject into the breasts to make them bigger and more voluptuous all with the patient's own blood.'
