Update: Vicki Gunvalson freely admitted to getting a chin implant in the Season 8 premiere. Ever since promos for the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 8 began hitting our television screens, we’ve had one question on our minds: Did Vicki Gunvalson really get a chin implant?

In the sneak peeks airing on Bravo, one of the housewives talks about Vicki’s post-divorce plastic surgery and mentions a chin implant. Vicki treated herself to an $8,000 makeover after calling it quits with her husband of 15 years, Donn Gunvalson.

So what work did she have done on her face exactly? Wetpaint Entertainment spoke to Dr. Raffi Hovsepian of the Beverly Hills Institute to get an expert opinion on Vicki’s new look.

“Although I haven’t worked on Vicki Gunvalson, from these photos it looks like the shape of her chin has been augmented with a chin implant,” said Dr. Hovesepian.

But that’s not all! Vicki’s nose and cheeks got some TLC as well, and it’s likely she got a facelift.

“Her nose also looks more refined which suggests a possible rhinoplasty revision with tip refinement,” Dr. Hovesepian commented. “It looks as if she has had either facial fillers, such as juvederm, to her cheek area, or facial fat grafting on her mid face. The smoother and tighter appearance of her skin looks to me like she could have also had a mini facelift and possibly a neck lift.”

For being 51, we have to say Vicki Gunvalson is looking great. A little extra help never hurts, especially when you can afford it.
