Rosie ODonnell Shows Off Facelift Results, Unnoticed

 has shared before-and-after snaps from her secret , after opening up on her shame for getting the procedure, which she regarded as a 'betrayal of feminism.'

The actress, 64, penned a candid post on Substack on Monday revealing she'd undergone the surgery in January after agonizing over it for months, only to discover that nobody had remarked any change.

Taking to her Instagram two days later, she shared two selfies showing her face before and after going under the knife, allowing her fans to judge for themselves what impact it'd had.

Once counting herself a strident moral objector of plastic surgery, Rosie explained that she had changed her mind on the issue when she shed 50lb and discovered that her skin had begun to sag as a result.

'I used to feel very strongly about facelifts,' she wrote, admitting she'd 'assigned myself as head of all women who would never' get one, as she regarded them as a 'betrayal of feminism and of aging.'

But after her , thanks to drug Mounjaro, the former anchor found her position changing, saying: 'It wasn’t wrinkles - it was gravity. I’d look in the mirror and think - this isn’t aging, this is melting with intention.'

Rosie confessed: 'I tried to be evolved about it and say things like: “This is natural. This is earned.” And then… “umm how earned does it have to look?” There’s a point where acceptance starts to feel like lying.'

After getting to the point 'where acceptance starts to feel like lying', she began to research surgery options, but quickly hit a new hurdle in the form of her 13-year-old daughter Clay.

The teenager strenuously opposed the idea of her mother going under the knife, arguing she was a role model to young women and fiercely stating: 'I wouldn’t be able to respect you if you did it.'

Reminding her of her own 'younger, more certain, more morally rigid self', Clay's strong feelings successfully convinced Rosie to put the procedure on pause.

But she explained that after months of going back-and-forth over what to do, she ultimately persuaded herself she did not want to teach her children that 'my body belongs to an idea either. Even a good idea. Even feminism.'

Overcoming her misgivings and steeling herself, she paid a price higher than that of any car she ever purchased and went in for the operation. 

And employing her famous wit and self-deprecating comedy, she poked fun at the fact that after all her turmoil, she emerged from the operation only to find that no one could see any difference in her appearance. 

'And guess what - no one has noticed,' she quipped. 'Not one person. Not a friend, not a stranger, not even people who owe me compliments. My teenager has not said a word. Nothing.

'I went through a full existential feminist crisis, had my face and neck surgically altered, and the result is… zippo'.

Yet Rosie rationalized the result as 'the best possible outcome' and insisted that the last thing she had told her doctor before the procedure was that she'd never say: 'I wish you did more', because she 'wanted to still be me, just… less haunted.'

'I didn’t disappear, I didn’t become someone else - I just stopped arguing with the mirror,' she wrote. 'And maybe that’s enough. Or at the very least…it’s what a lower deep plane face lift looks like when it minds its own business.'

Her facelift revelation comes a half-decade after Rosie insisted she would never acquire one on the grounds that it would prevent her from getting the parts she wanted.

'I always knew as an actress that when I got into my 60s, I would be playing the Geraldine Page roles,' she shared with Vulture.

'I wasn't going to have plastic surgery. I was going to look the way a woman my age should look, and I always thought that would be a blessing in my older age. 

'I would get to play the Colleen Dewhurst roles. That has turned out to be true. I'm getting all this acting work now that I'm closing in on 60.'

She has lost several pounds in recent years after she began taking Mounjaro for her diabetes, first 

She shared at the time that since she'd been prescribed the medication it had helped her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season, made her feel 'healthier' and she is 'sleeping better.'
