Let’s face it: The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 reunion was bound to get more than skin deep, with the cast diving into the many dramatic moments that happened this season. However, one somewhat lighthearted moment occurred in Part 1 of the reunion when Jessel Taank revealed the secret to her “airbrushed” appearance.

Well, that's how Andy Cohen described Jessel’s look, anyway, when he asked her about it point blank, revealing many people made comments about her "glow-up" in Season 15.

Jessel was slightly taken aback by the questioning, laughing as she said, “I mean, was I heinous before?”

Here's what she had to say about her new smile in Season 15, as well as what cosmetic procedures she's had done.

Jessel has always looked fabulous, but Andy said he noticed she looked different from Season 14.

"I have to say, you’ve gotten a glow-up since last season,” Andy told Jessel at the reunion. “You look like an airbrushed version of yourself. What has happened?”

Jessel initially shrugged it off, reeling off a couple explanations: “I don’t know. I think I cut my hair and lost some weight,” she said. “I mean, was I heinous before?”

Andy then asked Brynn about Jessel’s Season 15 visage, and she took some of the credit, claiming she “introduced” Jessel to the person behind her fresh-faced look. At that point, Jessel copped to erasing fine lines with Botox.

“I mean, I’ve always, I’ve done Botox since I was 26, OK?” she said. “Because once you crumple a piece of paper, it’s hard to, you know, iron it out.” 

Incredulous looks prompted her to continue: “Come on, wait,” Jessel continued. “Are you telling me I did more?” 

She eventually added that she also used volume-plumping “fillers” too, telling Andy she “wasn’t done yet” when she’d only mentioned Botox as the secret to her look.

“I get Botox, and I get filler,” she reiterated to Andy. “I’ve always done that, OK? And I take care of my skin, lots of water. And I lost some weight.”

Andy wasn’t done with his line of investigation. “Your teeth also look different,” he told Jessel.

“I got veneers,” she confirmed.

“They look great,” Sai and Erin said in near-unison.

Andy wrapped up this subject, saying, “So now, it is just the sprinkle of Botox, the fillers, and the veneers. Anything else?”

“Nothing else,” confirmed Jessel. “That’s it.”
