Bunnie Xo is not holding back. The multi-hyphenate podcaster, YouTuber, and entrepreneur is giving fans a raw, unfiltered look at her latest cosmetic procedure, sharing the reality of her facelift journey. Bunnie, the wife of country star Jelly Roll, documented the early stages of her recovery after undergoing a facelift.
Known for her candid personality and loyal online following, the social media star is offering followers a dramatic glimpse into the aftermath of the surgery.
Bunnie Xo Shares Raw ‘Day 1’ Post-Surgery Photo Showing Facelift Recovery
Bunny had revealed during a March 13 episode of her podcast that she planned to undergo a facelift on Sunday, March 15.
During the conversation, she asked fans to keep her in their prayers ahead of the procedure and shared that she still hopes to film at least “some” new podcast episodes while recovering.
Days after her announcement, Bunnie appeared in a hospital bed before the procedure in a video shared online, and revealed the dramatic aftermath.
In the first part of the clip, Bunnie sat wearing a surgical cap while surgical markings covered parts of her face, outlining the areas her doctor planned to treat.
The follow-up image showed the immediate results after surgery. Her face appeared noticeably swollen, and she was wrapped in a large bandage that encircled her head. Two medical drains filled with blood were visible on either side of her face.
She captioned the post simply: “Day 1,” alongside a sad, sweating emoji.
Doctor Explains What Bunnie Xo Hoped to Improve
The procedure was also explained in a video shared by Bunnie’s surgeon, Dr. Gould, who walked viewers through what the facelift was intended to address.
Before discussing the details of the operation, the doctor stressed that cosmetic procedures are always a personal decision.
As per US Sun, he said: “Nobody needs plastic surgery – nobody needs a facelift.”
He then described the specific areas Bunnie hoped to improve through the treatment.
“Everybody know this is a beautiful human being before surgery. We’re not gonna argue about that. She has a little bit of laxity above the yes, a little bit of heaviness in the temple and the face.”
Dr. Gould also shared images taken shortly after the procedure to show how the healing process had begun.
One photo showed Bunnie on the operating table with a breathing tube, which he said helped illustrate the facial areas he had previously discussed.
“Here’s just one final photo – a little bit scary, but that’s from this morning. One day after surgery. A little swollen, a little bruised. You can see where the laser was done but she’s healing nicely,” he said.
“Doesn’t look too scary.”
Jelly Roll Recently Faced His Own Scary Health Moment
The past few months have also brought a few frightening moments for Bunnie and her husband, country star Jelly Roll, who served as the first-ever “American Idol” artist-in-residence in 2025 and judged the new “Star Search” in early 2026.
Earlier this year, the singer was hospitalized after flipping an ATV during an accident that left him with a broken collarbone. Bunnie later shared footage of him recovering in a hospital bed while wearing a neck brace.
Reflecting on the scare, she wrote, “This happened in January, worst phone call to ever get. But we got thru it thank goodness & he’s healed completely.”
GettyIn the video, she also teased him about trying to look tough despite the injury, joking, “When your hubby snaps his collarbone in half after flipping an ATV and thinks he’s so tough with a neck brace on,” before adding, “You are not gangsta, do you think this gives you more street cred?”
Weeks later, Jelly Roll revealed he had finally returned to riding the ATV after it was repaired, admitting he had been nervous to get back on it.
“I’ve been keeping a secret from y’all… I took this thing out for the first time since I flipped it. Broke my collarbone, I was so scared to get back on this thing, you know. I just knew if I didn’t get back on it sooner or later, I was just gonna be more and more scared of it,” he said, adding that his brother had fixed the vehicle “like brand new.”
The singer also shared that the injury still caused pain during recent appearances, confessing, “Every time someone squeezed me, I thought I was gonna cry.”
GettyWhen it comes to his personal life, Bunnie has frequently supported her husband, Jelly Roll, throughout his career, including his recent rise in mainstream popularity following his “American Idol” stints.
He served as a guest mentor and later became the series’s first Artist in Residence.
