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."

Just eeeww...
Because she cannot tolerate anyone who disagrees with her, she resorted to therapy, prescription drugs, and moving halfway across the world - all to no avail.
It won’t be long before she’s back again with the face she deserves.

Reminds me of Paulie's joke about Bobby and Vito.
Look at this! It’s like an advert for Weight Watchers! Before… and way before!”
They need to keep pulling the skin from her turkey neck up another 10 inches.
I think that's the sign of good work. It's subtle, makes one ask "did you get some work done?"
Google "bad face lift" for examples of people (mostly women) who WAY overdid it and look like monsters.
Whomever the doctor was, there was zero risk of a malpractice suit.
It's a thinker.
GAH!
There is a saying I heard many times while growing up in the South that applies in this situation.
“You can’t make chicken salad out of Chicken Sh*t”....
Leonardo Di Vinci couldn’t make her attractive.
When ones soul is lost, nothing on the outside can fix them.
My God, she looks like The Joker’s mother!
She should get her money back.
Was it an Irish doctor or did she sneak back in? Again?
Did it actually take $100,000 of plastic surgery to make her look like she could smile?
Caterpillar D10?.......................
All politics aside, I have a personal policy of not judging other women for what they do to their bodies in terms of enhancements. If she likes what she sees in the mirror, then it was a good operation for her.
Just make something like this, but with her face on it.

On one, she looks like an old man.
On the other, she looks like an old woman.
I see the “marionette lines,” I believe those are the sort of vertical lines between our mouth corners and nose, disappear.
IMO gives a bit of a “Joker” appearance, I am not a fan of plastic surgery except when used to correct serious injuries or difficult deformities. Not normal aging.
