Amy Kaplan, a 63-year-old Los Angeles mom, underwent a facelift and documented the consultation, surgery, and day-by-day recovery process on TikTok with the help of her twin daughters, Allie Kaplan Rutstein and Lexi Kaplan Giudice. As part of the recovery protocol, Amy stayed at the luxurious five-star Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, just steps away from the surgical center.

Why it matters

The Kaplan family's open and honest documentation of the facelift recovery process aims to provide a more realistic and transparent look at cosmetic procedures, which are often only shown in their final, polished results.

The details

Amy Kaplan, who still feels vibrant and energetic at 63, decided to get a facelift because she felt her appearance no longer matched how she felt inside. The recovery process has been slow, with swelling, liquid drainage, and unexpected food cravings. Amy's twin daughters, Allie and Lexi, have been documenting the entire experience on social media to show the real journey behind cosmetic surgery, not just the final results.
