“After going through a public divorce I gave myself a gift I’d always wanted,” King, 38, wrote, adding the cheeky emojis “👃🏼 🍉 🍉.”
Their split took a heated turn this past March, with Edmonds claiming, “Meghan is unstable, unfit, unwilling to co-parent and unable to provide an environment for the children that is emotionally and physically safe" in astatementto PEOPLE through a rep.
Meanwhile, King told PEOPLE, “I’ve been the primary parent and single mother of my children with zero issues except for the ones in which Jim causes…His salacious claims are unfounded and will be found so in court. My children have always been and always will be my top priority.”
But now, on the anniversary of her procedures, King, who hosts the podcastIntimate Knowledge,is praising her surgeries for helping her self-esteem during their split.
“When I look in the mirror I feel beautiful,” she said — adding that while the surgery was great for her mental state, it does take a long time to recover.

“Let me tell you they aren’t kidding when they say ‘give the swelling a year to go down.’ I only got the bulbous tip removed off my nose while I was undergoing an implant exchange, but these things take time.”
She concluded her post with more praise for her doctor, writing, “Thank you Dr Niccole and the rest of the team…and a lil nip here, tuck there, or prick every now and then is a good enough reason for me!” she wrote.
“Happy one year anniversary to me!”
