Rosie O'Donnell Explains Facelift After 50-Pound Weight Loss at 64

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 9

Summary

  • Rosie O'Donnell, 64, said at the Tony Awards that a January facelift followed more than 50 pounds of weight loss that left extra facial skin and deep lines.
  • Three years on Mounjaro for diabetes drove the weight loss, she said, adding she chose to disclose the surgery herself rather than let tabloids expose it.
  • O'Donnell said she is not planning more cosmetic procedures, framing the decision as a one-time effort to look like herself, just less "sad" or "haunted."
  • Her comments build on a recent essay describing guilt, shame and feminist doubts about cosmetic surgery, as well as objections from her 13-year-old child before she went ahead.
