Rosie O'Donnell reveals facelift transformation in before-and-after photos
ABC News ^ | 5/27/2026 | Angeline Jane Bernabe

Rosie O'Donnell is opening up about her facelift journey and shared a before-and-after photo of her transformation.(snip)

In an essay titled "decisions," which is formatted like a song or poem, the 64-year-old talked about why she decided to get a facelift and the internal conflict she faced afterwards over whether to publicly disclose why she went through with the procedure.

"I used to feel very strongly about facelifts," she began. "Not casually -- morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never -- ever."

She went on, "I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide. And then I lost 50 pounds…"

The "League of Their Own" star then said that the weight loss was what led to her face also transforming, which she said was "melting with intention."

"I tried to be evolved about it. and say things like, 'This is natural. This is earned,'" O'Donnell wrote. "And then… 'umm how earned does it have to look?' There's a point where acceptance starts to feel like lying."

She said that a conversation with her child, Clay, challenged her, when the 13-year-old told her that she had "earned" her wrinkles and the teen "wouldn't be able to respect" her if she did it.

"It threw me -- it really did," O'Donnell said. "I delayed the whole thing for months, changing my mind talking to friends just sitting with it, thinking. And then I had this quiet realization … if I'm teaching clay anything, it can't be that my body belongs to an idea either. Even a good idea. Even feminism."

I didn’t see that movie, but she was Betty Rubble in “The Flintstones”. I enjoyed that movie.

Was it an Irish doctor or did she sneak back in? Again?

Only an Irish doctor could get drunk enough to handle this job.

I have FAR more important things to worry about than an aged Dimmocrap loudmouth and her sordid life. So, IDGAC.

Many butch lesbians have a habit of turning the outer corners of their mouth downward. Makes them look more masculine. Rosie has ruined her face doing that. The docs would have had to have done a much more radical surgery to correct it, and it still wouldn’t have corrected her habit.

You can try to fix ugly on the outside, but you can do nothing about the ugly on the inside.
