Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook has undergone a further facial procedure, just six weeks after completing extensive reconstructive surgery. The 52-year-old television personality is continuing her recovery journey with advanced laser treatments aimed at enhancing her skin texture and reducing scarring.
Latest Procedure Details
Westbrook visited the Essex Way Clinic for a fractional laser treatment, which is designed to stimulate collagen production and address concerns such as fine lines and uneven skin tone. This marks the first session in a planned course of three visits, as part of a personalised treatment plan developed after a full consultation and skin assessment.
The clinic shared on social media: "We had the pleasure of welcoming Danniella Westbrook into the clinic today. What a genuinely lovely lady, it was an absolute pleasure to look after Danniella." They added that she has begun her skin rejuvenation journey with this highly effective procedure, and they look forward to supporting her throughout the process.
Background of Reconstructive Surgery
This latest procedure follows major surgery in mid-February, where Westbrook travelled to Dubai for a comprehensive facial overhaul. That surgery included a full face, neck, and brow lift, along with lip and nose reconstruction. Experts focused on refining her jawline and cheeks during the operation.
Westbrook's extensive surgical history stems from years of drug abuse, which severely damaged her facial structure. In June of last year, she underwent an operation to repair her nose after cocaine addiction destroyed her septum. She has also had her eroded septum and columella replaced in previous procedures.
Health Challenges and Personal Struggles
The actress has faced significant health issues, including a severe bout of osteoporosis in 2015 that weakened her bones and left her with screws for teeth. In 2018, she revealed that surgeons needed to take bone from her skull to insert a plate into her face, but the bone was not strong enough to support it at the time.
Westbrook has spoken openly about the emotional toll of her appearance, stating: "I hate the way I look. I'm constantly made fun of, and trolled for it." She has received hurtful messages from trolls, including comments about her being ugly or a junkie, and even suggestions that she should not return to EastEnders to avoid scaring children.
Recovery Progress and Future Plans
Despite these challenges, Westbrook has shown resilience. In 2025, she decided to undergo facial surgery again and later reported positive progress, writing: "Today, I got the amazing news that I'm officially clear to move on to stage 2 of my recovery. Despite a rough patch with an infection, my doctors are happy with how everything's going."
Her current laser treatments are part of this ongoing recovery, aiming to achieve optimal results through a structured plan. Westbrook appears relaxed during the procedures, as seen in online images where lasers are applied to her head and face.
The former soap star's journey highlights the long-term impacts of substance abuse and the complexities of reconstructive surgery. With continued medical support and personal determination, she is working towards improving both her physical appearance and overall well-being.
