Kathy Griffin is known for being honest, especially when it comes to subjects other celebrities might want to keep private.
Griffin recently shared with fans that she underwent another facelift in a video aptly titled “New Face, Same Kathy!” that she released earlier this month.
“It’s my third,” the comedian shared. “I know, that’s so vain. I’m so vain for no reason.”
“No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face,” she quipped. “You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want. I don’t want you to come to care what I look like.”
Griffin then went into detail about the procedure, joking that “as far as I know, they just yank the crap out of your skin and your neck.”
She also spoke about the process of choosing her surgeon, Dr. Ben Talei, and said that he also did singer Sia’s facelift.
“And the reason I’m saying that is that you can go on YouTube [and find this out],” Griffin said. “There’s a video of her without her backwards wig, ’cause as you know, she’s an anonymous giant celebrity, and she even gave him an award, and she had the best before and after pictures I’ve ever seen.”
“And first of all, it’s funny that Sia even got a facelift because you don’t ever see her face, but the pictures sold me,” the 64-year-old added.
Griffin also got real about the surgical recovery process and made sure followers knew what they were getting into if they decided to follow in her footsteps.
“I’m going to be honest ― it’s painful,” she said, mentioning that she had stitches in her eyelids. “So these bitches that are like, ‘It’s like getting a tooth filled! It’s nothing!’ No ― it’s painful.”
And while the results might eventually look great, post-op recovery isn’t pretty, the actor said.
“You come home ― and maybe you come home with a nurse ― and it’s disgusting. I’m not going to lie,” she said. “The first night, there’s drains that come out of your chin. I know, it’s so gross. But the vanity takes over.”
Many commenters on Griffin’s video praised the comedian for her transparency.
Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner and Joel McHale have also recently been lauded for sharing details about various cosmetic procedures they’ve undergone.
McHale made waves for opening up about his fourth hair transplant on the “We Might Be Drunk” podcast back in June, and even recommended his doctor.
He also told followers what not to do if they were interested in the procedure.
“I can get you a name of a guy in Turkey,” McHale said. “But just make sure, ’cause if somebody is like, ‘I’ll do it for $3,000,’ then you don’t [do it]. You get what you pay for.”
