In recent revelations, Holly Madison opened up about undergoing a lower facelift, while also detailing other cosmetic enhancements she’s experienced. Her candid discussion sheds light on personal choices in beauty treatments.
Speaking to Dr. Shelia Farhang on the “Derm Approved” podcast, the former Playboy star admitted, “I’ve had a lower facelift on my jawline,” and expressed her satisfaction, stating, “I’m really happy I got it done.”
Madison explained her decision, noting that after her pregnancies, especially her second one where she gained substantial weight, she felt it necessary. She spoke of her kids, Rainbow, 13, and Forest, 9, whom she co-parents with former spouse Pasquale Rotella.
She elaborated while motioning to her jawline, saying, “There was just nothing I could do,” citing that no amount of lasers or other treatments achieved the desired result. Ultimately, Madison found a professional whose results she admired and decided to proceed with the procedure.
At 46, Madison emphasized her intent to maintain a natural look, ensuring the procedure was minimal and did not go “too far.”
“I’d rather have it not go far enough and then I can go back and maybe do more rather than have it go too far, and I’m looking like the Joker,” she quipped.
The “Girls Next Door” alum also shared that “If you look close, you can totally see” her visible scars in front of her ears, but added that she doesn’t care.
“I’m kind of open about it,” she said, noting that she’d already discussed it on her podcast.
Madison shared that other cosmetic procedures she has include CO2 laser for underneath her eyes, IPL laser, and Botox.
Still, she said, certain procedures — including breast implants, which she’s been famously open about having — can be a “tricky thing.”
“Some people, it just doesn’t work for, for whatever reason,” she explained elsewhere in the interview.
“Their body will reject the implant or they’ll get the breast implant illness, or the surgery will be kind of botched.”
The situation can lead patients to “want to try again,” Madison said, noting that it “sadly can turn into this never ending” pursuit.
The blond bombshell revealed she’d had a hand rejuvenation procedure, which she bluntly labeled a “waste of money.”
Madison, who rose to fame while living at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion beginning at age 21, has been open about cosmetic procedures in years past.
Back in 2023, she confessed she struggled with “body dysmorphia” amid the pressures of life at the famous mansion, telling People at the time that living there “created a body dysmorphia for me because I was always kind of wondering what’s wrong with me.”
She exclusively told Page Six earlier this month that she initially saw living there “as a safe harbor,” but later discovered it “to be so much more complicated than that.”
