During last night’s after show for Watch What Happens Live, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star gave an update on almost six-month-old daughter Dove following her neurosurgery.

While Teddi was initially “worried” about the surgery, which took place at the end of July, the Bravo personality said her baby girl is doing well following the procedure.

“It was definitely hard right after the surgery and the first couple days, but she’s so resilient,” Teddi told host Andy Cohen. “And seeing her smiling face and how happy she is like, you just can’t think anything other than, ‘Be grateful.'”

The mother of three added, “She’s such a trooper.”

As Teddi continued, she revealed that Dove’s procedure went better than expected.

“We thought we were going to be in the hospital for seven days and we were out in four,” the reality TV star explained. “She had her surgery on Thursday, 10 days ago and she slept through the night last night, she’s barely getting the Tylenol anymore like, she is really coming around.”

As E! readers may recall, at the start of July, Teddi revealed that Dove has Lambdoid Craniosynostosis, a condition she described as a “very rare type of non-syndromic craniosynostosis [which] occurs when one of the lambdoid sutures at the back of the head fuses before birth.”

Per the Mayo Clinic, this rare condition can give a newborn’s head a “misshapen appearance.”

In her announcement post on Instagram, Teddi wrote, “We thought Dove had Torticollis and would likely need a doc band for re-shaping. Instead a CT scan showed Lambdoid Craniosynostosis…The recovery is about a week in the hospital and a couple weeks at home with a very high success rate. So although we are filled with nerves as neurosurgery sounds scary, we have our faith that she will be ok.”

By the end of the month, Teddi shared on her Instagram story that Dove underwent a “successful” procedure.

She also noted, “So much gratitude to her amazing surgeons Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Urata and all the loving nurses that will continue to help us care for her as she recovers. We are forever grateful.”

The Bravo personality and husband Edwin Arroyave welcomed their little girl into the world back in February 2020. Teddi is also a mom to daughter Slate, son Cruz and a stepmom to Isabella.

The former Teen Mom star has been open about her plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures, and she’s had quite a few of them. She has in the past admitted to getting lip fillers, breast augmentations, a nose job, and a chin implant, which she has since had removed. In 2017, she documented her vaginal rejuvenation procedure. In 2018, she posted videos of her getting butt injections.

Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks admits in her memoir Perfect Is Boring, that she went under the knife early in her career. “I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching,” she wrote in her book. “I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose.” 


Kaley Cuoco

The Big Bang Theory star told Cosmopolitan getting breast implants in 2004 was “the best decision I ever made.” Cuoco also came clean to Women’s Health about a nose job, as well as receiving a filler in a line “in my neck I’ve had since I was 12.”

Known as the Human Barbie, the Ukranian model has gone under the knife in hopes of resembling the famous plastic doll. She told TooFab of facing ridicule, “I think that these kind of people should understand that it is necessary to evaluate a person not on the external qualities but by their soul.”


Tara Reid

The American Pie star had a botched breast job and liposuction in 2004. “My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing,” she told CBS News. “I had a hernia, this huge bump next to my bellybutton.
