by Kristen HarrisBuzzFeedBuzzFeed StaffAs a staff writer at BuzzFeed, I write about all things celeb and pop culture.

Recently, facelifts have been a big topic of conversation. Every time I open TikTok, a different actor is being accused of having a "new face." While some celebs' suddenly "snatched" looks are the result of tight hairstyles or pricey skin treatments, many of them have been open about getting the procedure, which can be exorbitantly expensive — reportedly around $400,000 (according to Robbie Williams in a recent interview with Stellar)!

Here are 16 celebs who admitted to getting facelifts:

1.

Denise Richards had a facelift done by Dr. Ben Talei in June 2025. She was 54. She told Allure, "I wanted to put things back up, where they were before. I was terrified. Being in the public eye since my 20s, people know what I look like — a facelift is not something that I could hide. ... [The difference] is night and day. It's shocking, actually. [Other celebs] were more comfortable telling me about theirs, but I'm not gonna name names."

Alongside the facelift, she had the outer corners of her lips lifted, a temporal brow lift, her forehead and temples repositioned "back to where they used to be," and "a very minor and conservative upper blepharoplasty." Her surgeon also took fat from her thighs and put a thin layer under her face and neck skin.

She said, "Unfortunately, I started going through my divorce 10 days after I had surgery. So the second week wasn't as calm as the first week. ... Going through my divorce, my ex disclosed that I'd had a facelift. He had a photographer show up outside an appointment where I had some microneedling on my scars. So [my ex] told someone that I had a facelift, and said it was botched, which is really ridiculous. You know, I went back and forth about whether I was going to say anything about my facelift — um, he kind of let the cat out of the bag. I think I could have gotten away with, 'Oh, she looks so much better after her divorce.' I think I probably would've been able to get away with it — or not, I don't know."

She continued, "But I would want to know what other women are doing. Back when I had my breast implants done in the '90s, we just weren't open about that stuff. In a way, I think it's good to be private. But in a way, I think it's good to be open and honest — especially with other women that are my age and all of us growing up in the '90s together, sharing information and being able to say, 'Well, this is what I did.' It's not just serums. It's not just eating right and working out and doing all these lasers and stuff like that."

Podcaster Bunnie Xo, who's 46, (who you may also know as Jelly Roll's wife) underwent a facelift by Dr. Daniel J. Gould in March 2026. On Instagram, she shared an update on her recovery, writing, "When it's Day 6 of your recovery, you have cabin fever, watched every 2000's movie, can barely walk [without] being winded, live in a recliner, feel like you're being choked from ear to ear, & everyone keeps telling you Day 7 is the best day but that's tomorrow & you have lost all faith in humanity."

In a previous IG post, she said, "For everyone asking why I decided to do a facelift, old filler was one of the main reasons. I had stopped getting filler over 3 years ago in my face (I did have some in my lips tho), had it dissolved multiple times in my cheeks & it still was in my face. It would be itchy, it would cause swelling in my cheeks & it continued to migrate to other places. Please take it from me, filler doesn't dissolve in your body like we are told. So, in doing the lift we were able to take out a ton of it thankfully to Dr. Gould's skilled hands!"

69-year-old Jackée Harry underwent a deep-plane facelift in fall 2025. She told Entertainment Tonight that, after getting the procedure, "I see me. It was instant. I went, 'Ooh, Imma be cute! Imma be cute!' That third day when I saw that swelling, oooh, I was like the Hulk. I was like, 'Ooohh...' I'm still me, 'cause people look at me now, and they don't say anything. They kind of [look confused]."

"When you constantly want something that bad, you gotta do it. And I discovered I wanted it that bad. It's terrifying but exciting. You wanna have your inner self not disturbed," she said.
