Jill Zarin has gone under the knife in search of a “more youthful look.”
The former reality star hired plastic surgeon Dr. Ira Savetsky — the husband of ex-“Real Housewives of New York City” cast member Lizzy Savetsky — to give her a facelift, chin implant and fat transfer to address her “jowling, sagging neck skin” and other superficial issues.
“To address these concerns, I designed a personalized facial rejuvenation plan,” Dr. Savetsky tells Pvnew Style exclusively.

“The procedure included a dual plane lower facelift and neck lift, which involved repositioning both the skin and underlying muscles to achieve a more youthful look. To enhance her profile, I placed a small chin implant.”
Dr. Savetsky explained that he performed the fat transfer to “restore volume to her midface, temples, earlobes and hands.”
Photos and a video exclusively obtained by Pvnew Style show Zarin, 60, just one week after surgery, so she still appears swollen with visible stitches.
“Jill is doing exceptionally well,” Dr. Savetsky added. “She has minimal bruising and swelling, and I expect her results to continue improving over the next several weeks as the swelling subsides.”
Footage from Zarin’s one-week post-op appointment shows Dr. Savetsky going through the former Bravolebrity’s “before” images and explaining what he tweaked to improve her aging appearance.
“Look, I have a chin!” Zarin said to Dr. Savetsky. “What size chin did you do? Is that the smallest size you can do?”
She added, “On the front you don’t notice it as much. It’s definitely the side.”
Zarin joked with us exclusively two years ago that she needed a facelift to take the years off of her on camera.
“Not in person, but on TV. I know I need my eyes done,” she said at her Luxury Luncheon in July 2022. “I may need some some tweaking, but it’s OK. I own it.”
Zarin also quipped that some of her “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club” co-stars didn’t own up to their nip/tucks.
“I’m not like some of my sister-wives who denied doing anything, and yet they look better now than they did 20 years ago,” Zarin teased.
