Danniella Westbrook Shows Off New Face After Undergoing 'Miracle' Surgery - Photos

The transformation marks another milestone in a long medical journey — and if you want to see the images sparking widespread reaction for yourself, the striking photos are waiting at the end of the article.

Danniella Westbrook stepped back onto London's streets on February 23, 2026, with a look that signalled a turning point.

The former "EastEnders" actress was photographed in Mayfair after a salon visit, debuting the latest results of her ongoing facial reconstruction journey, including a series of procedures she recently underwent in Dubai and called a "miracle."

In the images, Westbrook wore her blonde hair in a fresh, bouncy blow-out, framing a face that appeared notably more lifted around the brow and jaw.

A beige Louis Vuitton scarf was wrapped snugly around her neck, drawing attention to the newly tightened contours beneath, while her make-up stayed natural and understated. The overall effect was polished but low-key, as if she wanted the pictures to speak for themselves.

Westbrook has had several operations over the years to rebuild her face following drug abuse, and this latest stage was among the most extensive.

She opted for a full face, neck, and brow lift, alongside lip and nose reconstruction. The decision came only months after a separate operation in June 2025 to repair her nose after her cocaine addiction destroyed her septum.

During her appearance in Mayfair, the changes were visible — her features looked more settled, and the swelling that often follows major surgery appeared to have reduced, highlighting what the procedures were designed to restore.

Still, her path to this moment has been anything but simple. Westbrook previously revealed that she nearly died following a botched operation and described years of painful complications that made each step forward feel precarious.

In 2015, she suffered a severe bout of osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones, and was subsequently left with screws for teeth — a stark detail that underlined how medically complex her reconstruction became.

Looking back on that period, Westbrook explained the challenge doctors faced when trying to rebuild her face, stating, "They need to take a piece of bone out of my skull and put a plate into my face but they've got nothing to stick the plate on at the minute because the bone's not strong enough."

She also described how relentless pain disrupted even basic routines. "The bone hadn't closed around the screws so they took me out of the house three times to a dentist, which they're not meant to, because the pain was so bad," the actress shared.

Sadly, those surgeries were not confined to one issue or one procedure. Westbrook shared how she had her eroded septum and columella replaced as part of what became an ongoing medical process — and she also spoke about how the public reaction to her changing appearance added another layer of damage.

"I hate the way I look. I'm constantly made fun of, and trolled for it," she said, before revealing the kind of abuse she received online. "People message me, saying, 'You're so ugly, you're a junkie [...].'"

This time, however, as the new photographs circulated, reactions online leaned heavily towards encouragement, with many focusing on how much healthier the actress appeared.

Several commenters pointed to the visible change in her face now that time had passed since the operation, with one person commenting, "Tbh she looks far better. She looks way older than her age though. Let's hope this is the start of a new life for her."

Another wrote, "An improvement." Others were more specific about the healing process, suggesting that the results looked more settled now.

One person shared, "Now the swelling has gone down she looks alot better , stay off drugs mend and enjoying life [sic]." A fourth netizen added, "Does look better must be painful bless [sic]," while a separate comment read, "It's the best she's looked for a long time."

A different strand of reaction shifted away from aesthetics and towards function — particularly the importance of her nose being properly repaired after years of damage.

One person typed, "I guess the surgeons did the best they could. Hopefully she has a fully functional nose, that's far more important than what it looks like." Another noted a change in mood more than anything else, writing, "Nice to see her smiling again."

For Danniella Westbrook, the images from Mayfair did not just document a new look; they captured a public figure trying to reclaim stability after a long stretch of physical trauma, medical setbacks, and harsh judgement.
