Fox News Channel’s Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean says she “was nervous” for her return to television on Monday after undergoing a new type of cosmetic surgery that left her with horrible side effects.
“I think it went very well,” Dean told TheWrap of her return to Fox News’ morning show. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive after sharing my story. Even social media – which can be a very negative space sometimes, has been flooded with well wishes and thank yous from both men and women for being open and honest.”
Dean had been off the air since early March after undergoing a fractora procedure in an attempt to get rid of some neck creases. She suffered side effects, including nerve injury, marginal mandibular nerve palsy, the inability to depress her lower lip, and a temporary change to her facial expression
While not yet 100 percent, Dean returned to “Fox & Friends” on Monday to share her story.
“I’ve heard so many people say they’ve shared my story to their friends and family,” Dean said. “I think this topic is something we can all relate to, and we’ve all thought about doing something to improve our appearance.”
She continued: “I was nervous, but Fox and Friends truly is like a second family to me, and I was so happy to get back to a job I love. Hopefully my experience can shed some light on some of these procedures and doctors and patients can talk openly about the risks before they sign up.
In a recent op-ed, Dean shared the importance of fully understanding the risks of any procedure before undergoing one.

She has remained away from TV, and has not posted to social media since her statement.
The TV anchor first announced in September she was writing a book called Through Mom’s Eyes: Simple Wisdom From Mothers Who Raised Extraordinary Humans.
“If you are a mom, a grandma, an auntie, a big sister, a cousin, if you take care of any children, and I say children ages 0 to even 62, because mothering never stops, this is my love letter to you,” she said on Today.
She revealed the book would be released on April 15.
But now, the book’s release date is scheduled for October 21, according to publisher Penguin Random House.
No statement has been made on the big change in plans.

‘I’LL SEE YOU SOON’
On January 15, Sheinelle addressed her fans in an Instagram post, stating: “I want to share with you that I’m taking time to deal with a family health matter.
“It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to have not only the support of my Today Show family, but to also have all of you.
“Your kindness means so much to me. I’ll see you soon.”
When she returns, Sheinelle will be promoted to an exciting new position, a source claimed.
In February, a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Sheinelle has been chosen to replace Hoda Kotb as Jenna Bush Hager’s co-host on the show’s fourth hour.
“Sheinelle is perfect for the position because she’s a seasoned professional,” a source said.
“They need someone who can throw to break, someone who knows the craft of making TV work, and Sheinelle is a pro.”
Today did not respond to The U.S. Sun’s call for comment on Sheinelle’s upcoming promotion.
After Hoda’s departure, Craig Melvin was chosen to replace her as Savannah Guthrie’s co-host.
“Ratings with Craig are good,” the source added.
“This taught executives that the audience wants people they know and that they should promote from within.”
Sheinelle has three children: Kayin, 12, and twins, Clara and Uche, 12, with her husband, Uche Ojeh.
A source told People that the health issue does not concern Sheinelle or her kids.
