Courtney Stodden was wheeled out of a Beverly Hills plastic surgery office on Wednesday, with a large bandage wrapped around her nose and visible swelling around her eyes, signaling what appeared to be another rhinoplasty. The 31-year-old reality TV figure was helped into a car in a wheelchair by a nurse and was driven home by her husband, movie producer Jared Safier, 42, after leaving Dr. Gary Motykie's practice.
She wore a mint-green silk robe and brown sandals, with bleached blonde hair pulled into a messy ponytail and a handheld fan to stay cool as photographers captured the moment. Daily Mail described her face as puffy and bruised in the aftermath of the procedure. Motykie, according to his website, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with specialized expertise in rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. Stodden has previously disclosed a nose job in 2016 to address a bump and breathing issues, a change she pursued with her first Beverly Hills surgeon, Dr. Robert Kotler. In addition to the nose work, she has talked about a breast augmentation and lip fillers in the past, as well as porcelain veneers.
The 2016 procedure was framed by Stodden as both cosmetic and functional, intended to correct a long-standing nasal blockage and sinus concerns as well as appearance. Since then, she has indicated openness to further cosmetic work, though she has suggested she would delay anything drastic for the time being as she navigates other life changes.
Stodden’s personal history has long been spotlighted in the press. She was famously married to Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison when she was 16, a union that drew wide attention and ultimately ended with a divorce finalized in 2020. In recent years, she has spoken about her sobriety journey, including celebrating her first sober birthday as an adult last month. She told Daily Mail that turning 31 without alcohol felt empowering and that she planned to maintain sobriety going forward, describing alcohol as something she once used to cope with trauma but ultimately as a trap. The article noted that some friends were skeptical of her choice to remain sober, but Stodden emphasized her commitment to a healthier path. The couple with whom she has aligned in life and love reportedly wed last year and have since supported each other through her personal and professional pivots.
The encounter with Motykie’s office comes as Stodden continues to navigate public attention surrounding her appearance and lifestyle choices. Representatives for Stodden did not return Daily Mail requests for comment at the time of publication. The star has, in previous interviews, acknowledged how her high-profile past—beginning with her teen marriage and subsequent media coverage—has shaped the public’s perception of her decisions about her body and career. This latest outing underscores the ongoing scrutiny that accompanies high-profile cosmetic procedures, particularly when the subject is a figure who has long been at the center of tabloid and entertainment-news discourse. As Stodden moves forward, her team has not announced any upcoming procedures, and there has been no public confirmation of the extent of the latest work outside the initial reports and observed images.
