Kathy Griffin has confirmed she underwent a third face lift after raising eyebrows with her taut appearance while hiking near her $8.8M Malibu home.

‘Very taut is also very true!’ the 64-year-old comedian wisecracked on her Talk Your Head Off podcast last Tuesday.

‘It’s my third. 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. You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want.

‘I don’t want you to come to care what I look like. I’m in Lululemons today for God’s sake. I’m in my fat pants. I don’t have dysmorphia… I have a little.’

Proving she’s no gatekeeper, Kathy revealed her new face came courtesy of Dr. Ben Talei, who previously worked on her famous friend Sia.

The 49-year-old camera-shy pop star gushed over the ‘incredible’ Beverly Hills plastic surgeon while publicly presenting him with a Daytime Beauty Award in 2023: ‘I love him, I can’t say enough good about him.’

And it wasn’t just Griffin’s face as she revealed her cosmetic procedure also included a blepharoplasty, foxy eye lift, and work on her chin.

‘There’s a stitch in my chin, which you’re probably not going to see unless you’re under me, but not in that way,’ the two-time Emmy winner wisecracked.

‘I’m going to be honest. It’s painful. So these bi***es that are like, “It’s like getting a tooth filled! It’s nothing!” No, it’s painful.’

Kathy did not mention taking pain pills but, in 2020, she was hospitalized at age 59 for an addiction to pills – Oxycontin, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, Adderall, and Provigil – which stemmed from past injuries.

‘Then you go to this rich lady recovery place. It’s not all ladies. I saw a couple dudes there, but everybody’s kind of in hiding and I had gauze on like a soccer ball,’ Griffin continued.

‘You get out of that place and you come home and maybe you come home with a nurse, and it’s disgusting. I’m not going to lie. The first night there’s drains that come out of your chin. I know it’s so gross. But the vanity takes over.’

The flame-haired funnywoman – who boasts 4.1M social media followers – posted a clip of her vlog on Instagram and Melissa Rivers commented: ‘You look great!’

Melissa’s late mother Joan Rivers was Kathy’s mentor, and she was always honest about her multiple cosmetic surgeries including a nose job, eye lift, and tummy tucks: ‘I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.’

Griffin – who had half of her left lung removed in 2021 cancer battle – has previously confessed to having her breasts enlarged, a brow-lift, a facial peel, and liposuction (which nearly killed her in 1999).
