He said in the post's caption: "Seeing the person that you love with all your heart suffering and in pain how she was .. it was very hard. As a husband I will always support her and be here for her and as much as I was against it, she really wanted to do it. So, I was there for her, supporting and helping her day to day. I am very proud of you and I just seeing how happy you are with the result, it makes me very happy."

The footage continued by showing the couple during the recovery process after Caroline's surgery. This included Sergio discussing it having been "very bad" on the second day. He said she was experiencing swelling and couldn't "really open her eyes". He then added: "The first two nights were horrible. We didn't sleep and she had a lot of pain."

Caroline was seen laughing as she continued to recover on a subsequent day and another clip teased small stitches being removed from her face after five days. She said later in the video: "[Sergio] said my skin is too smooth [now]."

The couple were seen together in a subsequent clip from around ten days into her recovery. He said: "We've been through like crazy stuff." Caroline added: "Hell and back!" Sergio continued: "[Now] she's starting to look normal."

Later in the video, Caroline was seen showcasing the results of the procedure after seemingly having staples taken out of her face. "Still a bit stiff but I look good," she teased in a clip. The reality TV star added: "My skin feels amazing."

Sergio wrote at the end of the post's caption: "You look absolutely beautiful [Caroline] the only problem, now … I am the oldest in the relationship!" He also expressed gratitude towards a doctor for "taking the best care" of Caroline.

Caroline spoke about the aftermath of the procedure on her podcast Uncut and Uncensored, which is understood to have been filmed just days after the procedure. According to the Daily Mail, she said: "I looked like I'd been in a car crash and the car definitely didn't win."

She added on the podcast: "Hardest thing I've ever done." Caroline however reportedly teased that she was hopeful that she would look "a lot more like [herself]" a few more days into the recovery, seemingly prior to the final entry in the vlog.
