The glamorous Elizabeth Vargas, who made a great impact on ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’, has transmitted the sequence of cosmetic surgeries and medical treatments she underwent, in the most sincere way possible, thus exposing her doctors to the entire world as loyal and responsible. Vargas, in an honest post, first named his doctors and then, shamelessly, admitted that he often asks for ‘just one more syringe’ for that amount. The news sparked many discussions in his circle, mainly about Vargas’s use of tirzepatide, a weight-loss drug.

Vargas, to tell the truth, set the tone for his typical no-nonsense attitude and opened the topic. She brought the issue of constant speculation about her appearance into public light and said: Everyone is dying to know what I have done with my face; Now it is here, confirming that, indeed, the best professionals did some work on it. In addition to mentioning a couple of doctors, he named Dr. Geoffrey Joseph for Botox and Dr. Jeff Barke, whom he credits with managing his tirzepatide-based weight loss program. She even joked that while the doctors say she’s fine, she wants more beauty treatments. ‘They always tell me, ‘Elizabeth, you’re perfect just the way you are.’ And I say: just one more syringe, doctor!’
A large part of the debate that followed this was over Vargas’s use of tirzepatide, a drug that actually has the same impact as Ozempic. One person was concerned and asked: ‘I would like to know how your doctor keeps your tirzepatide. How often do you take it and in what dosage? I lost 40 pounds and I don’t want to gain it back.’ Vargas then referred to her own personal experience and gave a very detailed account, saying that she is the living example that you can lose 50 pounds taking it and then keep it off. He further said that his fitness routine involves taking a 15 mg dose every two to three weeks instead of weekly, and that has really worked wonders for him. She also noted that she does not follow the same treatment as pharmaceutical brands like Ozempic, which she said made her feel bad. Without a doubt, these practical tips were very well received by your community.
Vargas’ opinions on the use of fillers also caused a lot of noise. The star was very clear that she had never resorted to facial fillers and she was very happy about it. She responded to a woman criticizing fillers: I just saw horror stories coming out of fillers, especially those from housewives. In another conversation, she referred to fillers as the biggest joke and denounced practitioners who bully women who over-inject themselves just to make a dollar. This led one user to thank her doctors and say, “I can’t believe the amount of filler some doctors do just to make money.” Vargas totally agreed and explained that in most cases the result is that women appear older than they really are.
Another angle arose when it was mentioned that Vargas was willing to pay for all of her treatments. She narrated her story directly: ‘For your information, I have never received free treatment; I have paid them all. I stand behind my doctors 100%… Free doesn’t necessarily mean good!’ User comment: ‘I respect that you pay for your treatments. “Kelly Leventhol brags that she doesn’t pay for any of her treatments, and it seems like it,” this comment continued. Vargas tactfully responded that she couldn’t speak for others, but implied that sometimes the quality of free work can be visible.
However, the post had its fun and supportive aspects. Many people simply praised her for her honesty and for being beautiful. “You are so refreshing and transparent,” someone wrote. Another person added: ‘You were always the most real of all those women and very relatable. By the way, you look beautiful. Vargas welcomed this particular comment with a slightly humorous twist, referring to his time on the show: “I guess Andy Cohen just didn’t like me, haha, well, his loss.”
The next highlight of the day was the rejection of lip fillers. When one user posted: ‘No, don’t wear lipstick! Why do women want to look like they’ve been sucking on a HOT EXHAUST PIPE? Rough!!!’ Vargas burst into laughter. She confirmed that her doctor will not do the procedure and now thinks it’s a blessing. “Hearing ‘no’ from him is the best thing that’s ever happened to my face,” she joked.
