Rosie O'Donnell paid more money for a facelift than she ever has "for a car".


The 64-year-old actress and comedian went under the knife in January after months of deliberating whether to have the treatment, following opposition from her 13-year-old daughter Clay, and she almost feels "shameful" at paying such a hefty price.


She wrote on her Substack page: "As I move on in my 60s


With a rejuvenated lower face


As if it happened naturally


It didn’t


It cost more money


Than I have ever paid for a car


- my privileged place in this world


And that feels almost shameful to me


The things I have -


Earned some say


But its the gross excess that wounds me (sic)"


Rosie used to think undergoing a facelift was a "betrayal", and she previously vowed to "never ever" have such surgery.


But after shedding 50lbs, she started to research such procedures.


She added: "I used to feel very strongly about facelifts


Not casually - morally.


I had assigned myself as head


of all women who would never - ever


I thought it was a betrayal.


Of feminism. Of aging.


Of our team of women worldwide.


And then I lost 50 pounds...


It wasn’t wrinkles -


it was gravity


I’d look in the mirror and think, this isn’t aging,


this is melting with intention.


There’s a point where acceptance


starts to feel like lying. (sic)"
