Sharon Osbourne Facelift Concerns

Sharon Osbourne is a celebrity known for a variety of entertainment jobs over the years. She is married to rocker Ozzy Osbourne as well as a fixture on multiple reality TV shows including “The View”, “America’s Got Talent”, “The X Factor” and “The Celebrity Apprentice”. She is also known for having plastic surgery procedures over the years including a recent facelift that caused her some complications after the procedure.

Sharon Osbourne Facelift Troubles

During a recent appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, Sharon discussed her facelift surgery and the issues that occurred after the procedure.

Osbourne, who is now 67 years old, was praised by Clarkson for her decision to not hide her decision to have different cosmetic procedures over the years. However, Sharon explained her concerns about the results of the facelift as she could not feel her mouth after the plastic surgery was performed on her:

“I am [scared], sure, because you could wake up and look like Cyclops. I had this thing where they lifted up my mouth and then for the first week I couldn’t feel my mouth. I can hardly feel my mouth now to be honest with you.  I couldn’t feel my mouth.”

She continued by saying, “But it was numb. It was up on one side and I looked like Elvis Presley. All the kids and Ozzy were like ‘why are you snarling at me?’ I’m like, ‘I’m not snarling, I’m not doing anything!’”

Osbourne first revealed the news about her facelift during an episode of “The Talk” back in September. She told the TV audience, “It was five week today that I had my operation. I had my neck done, my jowls…He kind of pulled it from the top of my head and put an elastic band in it. But everything was just lifted up. So it looks more refreshed.”

Facelift Explained

A facelift, AKA a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to reduce the look and overall appearance of signs of aging on the neck and face such as wrinkles and fine lines. The changes made by the cosmetic surgery are accomplished by lifting and tightening the underlying facial muscles to give the patient a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance as well as a better overall contour to the face. In addition to the lifting and tightening of the targeted areas of the face, the cosmetic surgeon also removes excess fat and skin that can cause the patient to look older.

When patients want to undergo a facelift, there are multiple options they can choose from to achieve the youthful look they desire:

• Traditional Facelift/Full Facelift – The cosmetic surgeon reverses the look of sagging cheeks as well as improves the look of excess fat and skin and deep creases that are located below the eyes. A traditional facelift incision runs along the temple and then it moves around the ear and goes down towards the neck.
• Mini Facelift – This facelift technique is normally performed by a surgeon using an endoscopic technique to treat areas such as the lower cheeks, jaw and neck. When it is time to make the incisions for this facelift technique, the incisions go along the hairline and then behind the ear in order to lift the muscles to remove the desired amount of fat and skin.
• Lower Facelift – This is a facelift technique that addresses any facial issues that are located on the bottom third of the face such as jowls. This facelift method can also lift the corners of the mouth that tend to sag and enhance the look of the jaw. The incisions for a lower facelift run along the hairline and ears.
• Mid Facelift – This is a facelift technique that addresses the tissues that are located below the eyes and around the cheeks by lifting and tightening them. The incisions need to be deeper than the ones for a traditional facelift so the cosmetic surgeon is able to reach the same muscles that are operated on during a full facelift.

Additional Sharon Osbourne Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Besides her recent facelift, Sharon Osbourne has been very candid about having cosmetic surgery in the past. She once claimed that “there’s not much I haven’t had tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether.”

In addition to her facelift earlier this year, Osbourne has undergone a tummy tuck and breast reduction. Even though she seems to be a fan of having cosmetic surgery, she is willing to admit that plastic surgery is not for every person. During a September talk show appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, she told the late night host. “I think, too, a lot of people go in to change too much and then it just doesn’t work.”

Even though she had some complications after her latest facelift surgery, Sharon Osbourne does not appear to be against the idea of having additional cosmetic surgery in the future. If, and when, she decides to tweak her appearance (again), Cosmetic Town will be ready to report on the latest plastic surgery adventures of Sharon Osbourne.
