 showed off her new face in a new selfie after removing her bandages following reconstruction surgery last week. 

The former actress, 52, still had a bruised and bloodied nose as she lounged by the pool in . 

Danniella has in the past had various reconstructive operations in a bid to fix her 'collapsing' face due to her previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis.

The star underwent the procedure last week at the Gargash Hospital - complete with a full face, neck and brow lift as well as a lip and nose reconstruction.
