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."

Evidently, they needed to use heavier lifting equipment.

Doesn’t look half bad. Doesn’t look half good either.

She probably told the doc not to overdo it. Which as a good idea.

Too often those folks go for broke, and end up looking like a bad exhibit in a wax museum.

Without considering her politics, at least she doesn’t have that pulled taut, shiny look I’ve seen before, and there is some lessening of the jowls, but leaving those pouches around her mouth is an odd choice. If she’d do something with her somewhat bushy eyebrows, the facelift might look a little more polished. Sadly, her inner lack of beauty is all too clear on her exterior. Whatever she spent couldn’t change that for the better.

I once had a dog with a face like that. I shaved his ass and made him walk backwards.
