“I went through a full existential feminist crisis, had my face and neck surgically altered, and the result is… zippo,” said Rosie, who delayed the cosmetic procedure after her 13-year-old said she “wouldn’t be able to respect” her if she got it done.

Rosie went on to write that after losing 50 pounds, “I’d look in the mirror and think, this isn’t aging, this is… melting with intention. I tried to be evolved about it and say things like, ‘This is natural. This is earned.’ And then… ‘umm how earned does it have to look?’”

Rosie went on to state that “not one person” has noticed that she got a facelift. “Not a friend, not a stranger, not even people who owe me compliments. My teenager has not said a word. Nothing,” she wrote. “I went through a full existential feminist crisis, had my face and neck surgically altered, and the result is… zippo.”

“Which honestly is the best possible outcome,” she continued. “I didn’t disappear, I didn’t become someone else—I just stopped arguing with the mirror. And maybe that’s enough. Or at the very least…it’s what a lower deep plane face lift looks like when it minds its own business.”
