Catt, 49, shared one familiar video on Tuesday, celebrating one year since she had plastic surgery on her face, neck and eyelids.
In the clip, the Daily Pop star lay in bed after surgery, wearing a long-sleeved black top, surrounded by pillows and blankets.
The journalist looked into the camera with her head wrapped in white bandages that stretched from her chin to her hairline and across her forehead.
Two drain pumps hung around her neck as she looked at a portable bathroom mirror in her lap.
Catt’s face was still in the clip as she took a first look at herself post-surgery.
“I can barely open my eyes,” she told a recording friend, not moving her mouth as she spoke.
“They’re very open,” the partner encouraged, laughing, “You’re going to love it.”
Catt then stared silently into the mirror until she let out a shocked squeak, covering her eyes.
“Oh my god. Whoa. Whoa,” she gasped before cutting the clip.
MESSAGE FROM THE CAT
The words appeared on the screen throughout the video reading: “Exactly one year ago.
“Looking in the mirror for the first time after a facelift, neck lift and blepharoplasty.”
She added a message to the caption, saying: ‘A YEAR LATER: I got a lot of criticism for my decision.
“I also received a lot of support. But honestly, I didn’t do it for you. I did it for myself.
“What I learned, how I healed, what I didn’t expect, and why I’m relentlessly committed to sharing the truth.
“It’s all in today’s solo episode of @cattsadlernow. #podcast.”
FAN SUPPORT
Fans flooded the comments section with words of praise for the TV star, thanking her for being transparent on the matter.
One shared, “I’m getting Blepharoplasty in June. I will never apologize for doing what makes me feel better. It’s a personal choice.”
“I don’t know who criticized it. It’s the best facelift I’ve ever seen,” said a second.
“Do it for You! She’s never looked better inside and out,” encouraged a third.
“Wow, well done. You’re making a girl. I’ve loved you since day one, don’t listen to the haters,” remarked a fourth.
“Genuine, awesome, beautiful and brave (both the surgery and sharing). xo,” agreed a fifth.
“I just listened to your podcast about it, and it was amazing and beautifully honest.
“Those who send you harsh comments are hurting inside and it’s their problem, they’re deflecting their own issues onto you,” wrote another.
