Just one year after swearing off more work on her face, Farrah Abraham had major jaw surgery.
She had “custom jaws” designed for her face and then implanted.
As a result, Farrah’s mouth has been wired shut.
Before anyone celebrates, they should know that her reasons for the surgery, she says, are a very serious matter.
Farrah Abraham cannot speak and is on an all-liquid diet
TMZ reports that Farrah Abraham underwent double-disc jaw surgery last week.
In the process, the “custom jaws” that had been engineered to fit her face were implanted.
As you can see from photos, the swelling is substantial and makes Farrah all but unrecognizable.
Farrah has stitches on both sides of her face and even across her neck.
For the next two months, she will have to be on a liquid diet and unable to speak — because her jaw has been wired shut.
Farrah Abraham used her Instagram Story to make sure that everyone got a look at her swollen, post-surgical face.

Despite no longer being a reality star and her still-technically-happening run for Austin City Council (please do not let that happen, people of Austin), Farrah still has a manager, Chrissy Johnston.
“Farrah cannot speak because her jaw is wired shut, and her face is extremely swollen,” Johnston explained to The Daily Mail.
“She’s in a severe amount of pain and is really struggling,” she detailed. “Both physically and mentally.”
According to Johnston, the surgery also resulted in Farrah having “lost hearing in her right ear.”
Their hope, she added, is that her hearing “returns to normal over time.”
Appearing on her daughter’s account, Farrah Abraham used a white board to explain why she cannot speak.

She feels ‘like Frankenstein’ with her stitches and wiring
This week, Farrah Abraham didn’t let having her jaw wired shut stop her from appearing on social media.
In addition to sharing numerous articles about her swollen face, she also appeared on her daughter’s page.
During 17-year-old Sophia’s TikTok Live, Farrah held up a whiteboard while showing a visibly swollen face.
The text explained that she had “had surgery” and, as a result, “can’t talk.”
On Instagram, Farrah explained that she felt “like Frankenstein right now.” We can only assume that she is referring to Frankenstein’s monster.
Naturally, many Teen Mom fans might jump for joy at the news that Farrah, however briefly, cannot physically speak.
However, she says that the surgery is to repair an injury that she suffered in 2021.
Farrah alleges that Dominic Foppoli, the former Windsor, California mayor, sexually assaulted her five years ago.
That harrowing allegation takes the winds out of the sails of any celebrators. No matter how terrible of a person Farrah is, no one deserves that.
She is suing Foppoli for an 8-figure sum in civil court. He denies wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime in this matter.

On Wednesday night, Christa Pike was set to be the first woman to be executed by the state of Tennessee in more than 200 years.
Instead, the 50-year-old, who was convicted of murder at the age of 18, was hospitalized after surviving two lethal injections.
The horrific situation has resulted in confusion as to how authorities will proceed.
Sadly, this turn of events is not entirely unexpected.
In recent interviews, Pike warned that there’s reason to believe her execution might be badly botched.
“Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution,” her lawyers said in a statement issued to the media (via Yahoo! News).
“We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.”
Governor Bill Lee also issued a statement, in which he revealed that the state’s remaining scheduled executions will be postponed and will not be carried out in 2026.
“Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the state’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective,” Lee told the press.
According to witnesses, Pike remained awake following the initial dose of phenobarbital, which was supposed to be fatal.
At one point, she reportedly raised her hand and expressed concern to prison officials.
Witnesses reported that the second dose of pentobarbital had been administered by 8:26 pm.
Pike was heard snoring behind the closed curtain until the microphone was cut off at 8:53 pm, and the media figures were escorted from the area.
State execution guidelines stipulate that a secondary set of drug syringes should be administered “if the inmate is not deceased” after the first set.
The guidelines do not specify what happens if the subject is still alive after the second set, thus it is unclear what will happen in Pike’s case.
“I’m going to leave this world the way I spent most of my life, and that is in love,” Pike said Wednesday in what were supposed to be her last words.
As of this writing, Pike is reportedly still in the hospital, and specifics about her condition are unknown at this time.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Charles Kelley, singer for Lady A, has a rare blood cancer.
Delivering a health update to fans and followers, he shared how doctors caught it by chance.
Though survival odds are less than ideal, Kelley pointed out how they have improved.
He has a loving family, a few other helping factors on his side, and even a friend’s cancer journey to make things easier in the health battles ahead.
Charles Kelley has multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer
This week, Lady A singer Charles Kelley took to Instagram to deliver “a little health update.”
Sitting beside his wife, Cassie, the 45-year-old singer shared that he has a rare blood cancer.
Kelley shared that he has had some rib fractures, which resulted in blood tests.
“One of the last blood tests we did, they found a blood cancer in there called multiple myeloma,” he revealed.
“It’s rare,” Kelley acknowledged. “But I’m young, I feel healthy.”
He continued: “And the treatments, I will say, have just come so far even in the past five years.”
Kelley detailed that the treatments have advanced so “that even the life expectancy far exceeds what it used to be.”
Going back about a decade, the five-year survival rate for multiple myeloma in the US was about 64%. That’s just shy of two-out-of-three.
Across that same span of time, the death rate has fallen by about 3% each year.
Kelley has youth, money, and a positive attitude on his side, and he’s hoping that these will tilt the odds in his favor.
Comfort and emotional support can come from many sources
Charles Kelley shared that a friend received a cancer diagnosis of his own about two months before his.
This friend is on her own cancer journey.
Having her as a role model of sorts has “really helped” him, oddly enough.
“I feel really hopeful,” Kelley shared. “In the same spirit of the way we’ve shared a lot of my sobriety journey, just getting this stuff off your chest is so freeing and it takes the power away from it a little bit.”
To fans and followers, he stated: “We wanted to let you all know what was going on, and we’re gonna get through it.”
Kelley has a 10-year-old son named Ward. His other son, Archer, just turned 1 year old on September 16.
These two, and his wife — with whom he shared a kiss during the video —
Kelley was sure to also praise the doctors and caregivers in Nashville.
“It’s just another hurdle,” he characterized, “and I feel confident that we’re gonna get through it.”
We are all hopeful that his confidence is well placed.
