Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham Undergoes Jaw Surgery, Shows Intense Swelling Amid Liquid Diet Recovery
She says the procedure followed an alleged sexual assault and left her with screws in her gums, stitches and a wired jaw.
Former "Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham underwent double-disc jaw surgery on Friday, leaving her mouth wired shut with her face severely swollen. She shared recovery photos, describing herself as feeling like "Frankenstein" while hoping her facial appearance rebounds.
Farrah claims she required the procedure to repair injuries from an alleged sexual assault by Dominic Foppoli, whom she is currently suing. She did not provide specific details about how the alleged injury occurred.
Surgeons implanted custom jaws engineered for her face, and Abraham currently has screws in her gums. Photos reveal extensive stitches near her ears and across her neck; she hopes the procedure helps her regain hearing in her right ear.
By Monday, the reality star appeared to be recovering well, joining a TikTok Live with her daughter Sophia. During the broadcast, the previously visible stitches were not discernible to viewers.
Foppoli has denied all wrongdoing, with his lawyer telling TMZ the encounter with Farrah was consensual. He is not facing criminal charges in connection with her allegations, and the lawsuit remains ongoing.
