Rosie O'Donnell's Facelift: From Judgy Friend to Fellow Patient
31 Oct
Summary
- O'Donnell was initially critical of Lake's facelift decision.
- O'Donnell later underwent the same procedure after significant weight loss.
- She aims to teach her children about personal choice regarding cosmetic surgery.
Ricki Lake shared that her close friend Rosie O'Donnell initially expressed reservations about her decision to undergo a facelift. Lake underwent a deep-plane facelift in 2024, prompted by changes to her appearance following a 40-lb weight loss, stating she aimed to feel like herself again.
O'Donnell, who herself underwent a facelift in May, admitted to being "a little judgy" of Lake's choice at first. However, O'Donnell's opinion shifted after she lost 60 pounds over three and a half years through surgery, lifestyle changes, and medication.
O'Donnell revealed her facelift in an essay, detailing her past moral opposition to cosmetic surgery, which she viewed as a "betrayal of feminism." She also discussed the emotional process of telling her youngest child, Clay, about her decision, hoping to model personal choice for all her children.
