Rosie O'Donnell Reveals If She'd Go Under the Knife Again After Her 'Expensive' Facelift

Rosie O’Donnell got candid about whether she plans to undergo more plastic surgery.

During a red carpet interview at the Sunday, June 7, Tony Awards in New York, the media personality, 64, confirmed she’s done with going under the knife after her facelift.

When asked about whether she plans to get additional cosmetic work done, she replied, “No, I don’t think so.”

In a May 25 Substack post, the former talk show host revealed she received a facelift back in January.

"Authenticity is the goal in these days and times," she explained at the Tony Awards about her decision to go public with her procedure. "And I think all that matters is truth and love, and so I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated emotions I had about it."

Her child Clay was averse to the idea, but she decided to move forward anyway.

"My little autistic 13-year-old said to me, 'If you do it, I would not be able to respect you ever again,'" O'Donnell said. "And that put me off it for a few months, but then when I went and did it in January, I came home 10 days later, and they never noticed."

The 64-year-old wanted to spill all the details of her cosmetic work because she didn’t want "some tabloid to go, 'Gotcha!'"

"I just wanted to say, 'This is what I did, and here's the doctor, and if you want to,'" she explained, then noted, "But it's very expensive—it's more expensive than any car I ever bought, but I can't drive around in my face."

O’Donnell credited her facelift for relieving some unfortunate after-effects of taking a GLP-1.

"I'm on Mounjaro over the last three years, I have diabetes too, and I lost over 50 pounds, and that was responsible for a lot of the extra skin that I had around my face, and there were two lines that made me look sad,” she said. "In Ireland, people would say, 'Are you upset, darling? What's the matter, love?' And I'm like, 'That's just my face. I am not upset, it's just how I look.'"

In her May Substack post, the comedian explained how she tapped a doctor she “trusted,” who had operated on friends of hers and “still looked like themselves,” to perform her facelift.

“Right before I went under, I grabbed my doctor’s hand and said, ‘I will never say, ‘God, I wish you did more,’” she recalled. “And I meant it. I didn’t want to become that voice, the one that keeps moving the goalpost, never satisfied, the one that turns their own face into a problem one can never quite solve.”
