Rosie O'Donnell Reveals Facelift Transformation in Before-and-After Photos
- On Monday, Rosie O'Donnell, 64-year-old actor and TV personality, revealed in a Substack essay that she underwent a lower deep plane facelift in January after losing 50 pounds on the diabetes medication Mounjaro.
- O'Donnell had pledged in a 2021 Vulture interview never to undergo plastic surgery, viewing it as a betrayal of aging naturally; her commitment wavered after Mounjaro-induced weight loss left her face with what she described as a 'haunted' appearance.
- Clay, O'Donnell's 13-year-old child, initially delayed the surgery for months by telling their mother 'You earned your wrinkles' and 'Young women look up to you. I wouldn't be able to respect you if you did it,' prompting O'Donnell to reconsider bodily autonomy.
- Despite her initial hesitation, no one—not even Clay—noticed the facelift; O'Donnell wrote 'I didn't disappear, I didn't become someone else—I just stopped arguing with the mirror,' noting the irony that her skeptical child never detected the change.
- O'Donnell acknowledged her shame stemmed from the privilege required to afford a procedure costing more than any car she'd owned, writing 'It's the gross excess that wounds me,' while concluding she is 'happy to have the freedom to choose and use my voice.
