Rosie O'Donnell opened up about the procedures she underwent after she lost her weight taking Ozempic.

For those unaware, the 64-year-old American talk show host and comedian wrote an essay on May 25, revealing that she underwent a lower deep-plane facelift in January of this year. She stated that the procedure “cost more money” than she “ever paid for a car.” She then went on to share before-and-after pictures to show the results.

O'Donnell showed up on the recent episode of SiriusXM's Radio Andy, where she told host Andy Cohen about her plastic surgery even, confessing that her transformation has surprised her even though she was skeptical before the procedure.

"You don't lead with any sort of vanity and I think that's what people love about you," Cohen said.

Notably, The View star has shed 60 lbs through weight loss drugs, surgery, and lifestyle modification. She was on Ozempic for three and a half years.

"There was a lot of extra skin on my neck. There was skin on my face and I had a lot of friends who did it," she shared in one of her previous interviews, referring to her pals Jane Fonda, Ricki Lake, and Kathy Griffin.
