Rosie O’Donnell is opening up about the surprising reason she decided to undergo cosmetic surgery after years of being outspoken against facelifts.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the 64-year-old comedian explained that significant weight loss while taking Ozempic ultimately changed her perspective.
“It took me by surprise,” Rosie admitted when Andy Cohen noted that many fans were shocked by her decision.
According to Rosie, she developed pronounced “marionette lines” after losing around 60 pounds while taking Ozempic for more than three and a half years.
“Well, you know what happened, Andy? I got two really deep lines here. They’re called marionette lines from losing so much weight on Ozempic,” she explained, adding that she has experienced “no side effects” from the medication and believes her gradual approach helped.
Rosie said she once joked with friends about getting facelifts and considered herself firmly against them. However, seeing changes in her face led her to reconsider.
“I was sick of people in Ireland going, ‘Oh, darling, are you sad?’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m not sad. That’s my face,’” she said.
After consulting with multiple doctors, Rosie decided to move forward with a more subtle procedure.
“We’re not going Kardashian. We’re going end the sad face,” she joked.
The former talk show host also revealed that the first cosmetic procedure she ever had was getting dental crowns after finding success on Star Search.
Rosie talked more about her facelift last month and how her child reacted to the news.
