Overview
- In a TikTok live, Medina said she may ask ATV to push back her planned early‑February return, citing the need to prioritize recovery after facial surgery.
- She underwent a deep‑plane facelift in Buenos Aires performed by Dr. Andrés Freschi, a choice she says followed an exhaustive search with help from Joana Bernedo.
- Medina continues to show swelling and bruising from the procedure and has shared sessions in a hyperbaric chamber as part of her recovery routine.
- Refuting a TV claim by a surgeon identified as Reátegui that she previously had multiple facial operations, Medina reiterated this is her first facial surgery at 62.
- She said she will record Dr. Freschi stating whether he saw evidence of past procedures and also criticized presenter Janet Barboza’s cosmetic results while rejecting calls to “age with dignity.”
