Plastic surgery is an almost taboo topic when you are a public figure. Everyone knows it happens, but it is often denied or talked around instead of directly. Sharon Osbourne is one of the rare gems who is direct and honest about it.
Sharon has been vocal over the years about her various cosmetic procedures. She just revealed to The Sun that she will no longer get any more plastic surgery. She had a bad experience with a facelift in 2021 that left her looking like a “cyclops.” It was enough to make her swear the whole thing off.
“That one put me off and it frightens me,” Sharon said, referring to her 2021 facelift. “I really [expletive] pushed it with the last facelift and I am now like, no more.” Everyone has a breaking point.
Sharon is embracing her age. “Time is against me, I cannot have another facelift,” she went on to say. Her last procedure left her feeling “horrendous,” which was not the desired outcome.

“[To the surgeon] I’m, like, ‘You’ve got to be [expletive] joking,'” she recalled. “One eye was different to the other.” The procedure took five and a half hours. Sharon was left feeling “like a [expletive] Cyclops.” This is when she decided to call it quits.
Sharon has been open and honest about her past procedures, breaking from the typical celebrity norm. In her autobiography Unbreakable, she touched on the topic. “There’s not much I haven’t had tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether,” she wrote.
In that same book, which was published in 2013, she vowed never to get another procedure. She went back on that in 2019. She said at the time that she was getting a “new face.” She went on to add, “My next surgery’s booked.”
Unlike her 2021 facelift, her 2019 experience was a good one. She showed off the results in September on The Talk. “I had my neck done, my jowls. They kind of pulled it from the top of my head … but everything was just lifted up. So, it looks more refreshed,” she gushed.
Time will tell if the 2021 procedure actually ends up being Sharon’s last. For now, that’s her story, and she is sticking to it. The cyclops reference does paint a vivid picture of why she would want to quit.
Beyond plastic surgery, Sharon is a mother of three and a grandmother of five. She recently relocated to the UK after living in the United States for 20 years. Her son, Jack, did not want her to move, but Sharon believes that she “needs to spend more time in England and [she] will come back on trips.”
