Sharon Osbourne has revealed that a cosmetic surgery procedure left her with a lasting indentation in her face, describing the experience as one of the moments when she regretted going under the knife. The television personality, 74, opened up about the experience during an episode of The Osbournes podcast with her son, Jack Osbourne, and daughter-in-law, Aree Gearhart.
Sharon said she believed the procedure had gone wrong after she woke up and saw the results, later claiming that an attempted corrective treatment failed to resolve the problem. Reflecting on her decision to undergo cosmetic work, Sharon delivered a blunt verdict: 'I f*cked up. It's my choice. That's what I get.'
Sharon Osbourne Reveals Lasting Facial Indentation
During the conversation, Jack asked his mother whether she had ever been frightened before undergoing cosmetic surgery.
'I have when I've woken up and seen the mistakes,' Sharon replied.
She then described the mark she says remains on her face, gesturing towards the area around her upper lip and chin.
'I have an indentation left from it here, all the way down here,' she explained.
Sharon also offered her own theory about what may have happened during the procedure, suggesting the surgeon had allowed someone else to complete the work.
'I think the surgeon left it to his mate to do [it]. I think he took a phone call and then his mate [finished the job],' she said.
Sharon did not identify the surgeon or specify which operation caused the indentation. Her comments represent her recollection of the experience; there is no independent confirmation of her theory about how the procedure was carried out.
'It Didn't F*cking Work': Her Frustration Over Corrective Treatment
Sharon also recalled returning to complain about the result and being offered further treatment.
According to her account, the person treating her began injecting a substance that was presented as a solution to the problem.
'You go, and you complain, and you go there. And then he starts injecting, and you go, 'What is in this that you're injecting me with?' And he says, 'Don't worry, it's my special concoction. It'll work!' she recalled.
However, Sharon said the treatment did not produce the improvement she had hoped for.
'And it didn't f*cking work,' she added.
She did not identify the substance used in the injections, so its composition and intended medical effect remain unclear.
Despite her frustration, Sharon was keen to make clear that she did not want sympathy over her decision to have cosmetic surgery.
'It's not like I earn my living out of my f*cking face,' she said, before repeating that she considered the choice her own.
Sharon Questions Whether Further Surgery Is Worth It
The discussion also turned to whether Sharon would consider undergoing more cosmetic procedures.
When Jack asked about the prospect of further surgery, she appeared uncertain that there was any reason to continue.
'Oh, Jack, who am I doing it for now?' she replied.
Sharon also spoke about the contrast between a face altered by cosmetic procedures and other parts of the body that continue to show signs of ageing.
She admitted that she deliberately covers her arms because she is unhappy with their appearance, highlighting the difficulty of trying to maintain a consistently youthful look.
'You've got a face that looks 50, and a body that looks your age,' she said.
Her comments reflected a more complicated relationship with cosmetic work than simply wanting to look younger. She has previously spoken about the role of self-esteem in decisions to undergo surgery, acknowledging that concerns about appearance can influence people's choices.
A History of Cosmetic Surgery Regrets
Sharon has discussed her cosmetic procedures publicly for years, including a facelift in 2021 that she later described as 'the worst thing I ever did'.
In an interview with The Times, published in December 2023, she recalled being unhappy with the initial result, saying her eyes appeared uneven and her mouth looked crooked. She said she had to wait for the effects to settle before the result could be corrected.
Sharon has also previously attributed her decision to pursue cosmetic surgery to 'vanity' and 'ego', reflecting on the pressure to appear youthful.
Her latest account adds another chapter to that history, although she has not confirmed whether the indentation came from the 2021 facelift or a separate procedure.
For now, Sharon's comments suggest she is questioning the value of further cosmetic work. Her lasting concern is the mark she says remains, while her frank admission that the decision was hers underlines how her perspective on surgery has changed.
