Last week she told fans she’s going for her fifth and ‘final round’ of face surgery this week in Turkey.
The star has been left with crumbling bones and a collapsed jaw and cheekbone due to years of cocaine addiction.
She beamed in her picture wearing a white hat and reassured fans with a message on Instagram.
She wrote: "Feeling fit and ready for surgery next week. Waited so long."

The actress treated fans to video clips of her sunshine break as she headed off to get reconstruction work done.
Just a few months back Danniella showed fans what she would look like once she has completed her surgery.
Sharing a glam picture, Danniella – who has now moved abroad – said: “Nothing like a bloody amazing make-up artist and some heavy contouring.
“Makes me excited for how I’m gonna look by the end of Feb. It’s been a long time coming but I’m on my way back.”
Danniella was famously left with a disfigured nose after her cocaine abuse caused her septum — which separates the nostrils — to rot and eventually collapse.
Earlier this month she told us: "I go away next week to Turkey to have another face operation and then another one after Christmas."
Before this, she already underwent reconstructive operations at Liverpool’s Aintree Hospital.
One of the demanding procedures saw part her ribs inserted into her cheek. She also underwent a similar operation in 2018.
Speaking about getting the work done, Danniella explained: "I've spent the last seven years trying to get somebody to do it, but they said no in case it failed and they got struck off.
"Plastic surgeons wanted £500,000 to change my face, so I thought I was never going to get it done. It was only because I went into intensive care before Christmas last year.
"I couldn't breathe because I had a cold. There was a build up of fluid and after I fell asleep I couldn't wake up properly and ended up in ICU.
"I was sent over to Aintree Hospital in Liverpool and it's only because I was put in front of the right doctors, or else I'd still be waiting now to find someone.

"That's why I'm doing this. I need this surgery to survive. It's not for vanity, this is about my health. It hampers my lifestyle on a day to day basis."
