She had recently appeared on her daughter, Sophia's, TikTok livestream, where she communicated with the viewers using handwritten signs. However, Farrah thanked her fans for their support and gifts as she continues to recover from the procedure. In fact, she jokingly compared herself to "Frankenstein" due to the severe swelling on her face. 

For those who do not know, the operation was reportedly performed to solve the severe issue with Farrah's jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). As per her team, the procedure was necessary after she was unable to perform simple jaw movements and chewing tasks. In fact, she has reportedly experienced temporary hearing loss in her right ear after the procedure. Still, her manager expressed hope that the hearing issue would improve over time with her recovery.
