Considering the tragedy she had recently gone through, Danniella seemed to be enjoying herself while sunbathing by the pool while on vacation.
The TV star has spoken candidly about her traumatic surgical surgery.
Her prior cocaine addiction had resulted in a collapsed septum, and she had spent years battling osteoporosis. She had hoped to undergo facial restoration in Turkey.
In the horrific experience, an unlicensed doctor allegedly struck her and performed a facial operation without using anaesthesia.

Danniella claims that as a result of her ordeal, she was compelled to abandon her ambitious ambitions to compete on SAS: Who Dares Wins on Channel 4.
She told The Sun in an exclusive chat last month: "I was doing it in Liverpool with a professor there. I should have stayed with him but a friend convinced me to go to Turkey. It's my own stupid fault.
"I'm going back to him though but I'm gonna pay for it this time. I'd been quoted £500,000 before, I don't care what it is.
"If I don't have it done, the palate in the back of my mouth will collapse and I'll suffocate to death.
"When I went to Turkey, I could have died. I could have died if someone had just botched it any further. I'm not the youngest person in the world and I haven't been the wellest."
"It's not even about the physical stuff. My son said to me, 'How are you going to stand there with somebody this close to you, shouting in your face and say my son doesn't speak like that and I gave birth to him?'
"He said, 'You have to be quiet. You're not going to be able to do that'. But I am. I've 50 this year. I need to do something.
"I've done all the physical ones like Dancing On Ice but I need to do this."
In May, Channel 4 confirmed it is axing the civilian version of SAS: Who Dares Wins. It will, however, continue to make the celebrity version.
