- Antonia Gorga posted before-and-after clips on Instagram and TikTok showing a bandaged, bruised nose and captioned the June 10 post “Surprise,” confirming she had rhinoplasty.
- Her mother Melissa Gorga and several Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members replied with supportive comments on the post.
- New York facial surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk was tagged as the provider and he responded with emojis and reposted Antonia’s video to his practice account.
- Antonia wrote that she discovered a deviated septum and had wanted the procedure since about age 15, saying she aimed for a straighter, natural look and that she will share recovery updates as swelling goes down.
