Rachel Uchitel is showing off her newly refreshed look following cosmetic surgery.

The podcast host went under the knife for nearly 10 hours, undergoing several cosmetic procedures, including a deep-plane facelift, a tightening brow lift, an under-eye fat transfer, a chin implant, a "columella" nose revision and extensive facial filler dissolving.

"I'm 51, and I'm not trying to defy Mother Nature or look like a different person. I simply wanted to look like a fresher, more natural version of myself," she told the Daily Mail. "I realized that some of the things I had done over the years to avoid aging, particularly fillers, had actually begun to age and distort my face."

Uchitel, who was once romantically linked to Tiger Woods, said years of anti-aging treatments eventually had the opposite effects she intended.

"I realized that some of the things I had done over the years to avoid ageing, particularly fillers, had actually begun to age and distort my face," she said.

Before undergoing surgery with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ira Savetsky, Uchitel spent two weeks dissolving filler but still encountered "a significant amount of residual filler and scar tissue" during the procedure.

"I also learned that certain laser and energy-based treatments can contribute to tissue changes and scarring," she continued.
