Carmella is letting fans see exactly what recovery looks like — and she’s not hiding anything.

Just 72 hours after undergoing blepharoplasty, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion jumped on Instagram Stories to share a close-up look at her healing process, including visible bruising and swelling around both eyes. Carmella made it clear things are moving in the right direction, pointing to the color change as a positive sign.

“Okay, we are 72 hours post-op. The bruising is starting to turn yellow, which is amazing. That means we're healing.”

She admitted there’s still swelling, but said the difference from earlier in the week is already noticeable — and she’s loving what she’s seeing so far.

“Still swelling, of course, but I mean, everything's gone down so much. I'm already starting to see the results, and I'm obsessed.”

Despite the rough look early in recovery, Carmella said she’s feeling good and even noticing improvements with her vision.

“I'm feeling great. I'm seeing a lot better today, so I'm really happy about that.”

She also broke down how she’s handling recovery day-to-day, including rest, icing, and dealing with dryness.

“Just trying to rest… they're still getting a little dry, but that's what eye drops and all that are for. I'm obsessed.”

Carmella first revealed earlier this week that she had the cosmetic procedure done on both her upper and lower eyelids. Now, just days later, she’s already confident in the outcome and keeping fans updated every step of the way. Recovery isn’t pretty, but Carmella clearly isn’t worried — she’s focused on the end result and seems all-in on the process.

Do you think Carmella made the right call sharing such a raw look at her recovery, or should she have kept it private? Let us know your thoughts.
