Sharon Osbourne regrets getting cosmetic surgery on her face and considers it the worst decision she ever made. The British-born former "Americas Got Talent" judge, known for being married to Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, has undergone a number of procedures including facelifts, Botox, fillers, "lifts" to her legs and arms, a tummy tuck after gastric-band surgery, breast implants, and a neck lift.
In her 2013 autobiography, the television personality reflected: "Each time you undergo cosmetic surgery, you are further diminishing your self-worth."
Despite this realization, she underwent additional facial surgery in 2021, a decision she now regrets as "the greatest mistake of my life."
In an interview with the Times of London, published on Friday, she confessed, "I looked like Cyclops with one eye here and one eye there, and my mouth was all askew. I had to wait for it to heal before getting it corrected." She admitted to undergoing the procedures out of vanity and ego, despite receiving compliments about looking great for her age. "But I know what I really look like. When I look in the mirror, I see the real me," she added.
Osbourne also discussed her utilization of Ozempic, the diabetes medication that has gained popularity as a weight loss treatment, highlighting her husband and son's concern that she may not be eating enough.

Ozzy Osbourne discusses his health challenges, expressing that he would be satisfied with performing one final show before passing away.
"I saw everyone else doing it and thought, why not give it a try? And this is the result," she explained. "It's been almost a year since I began my diet in December, and I've lost 42 pounds. I'm struggling to gain the weight back, which has its perks, but at the same time, it's like, be careful what you wish for."
Ozempic and its related drug Wegovy function by replicating a natural hormone that slows down food digestion in the stomach, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness. During an interview with Piers Morgan in September, Osbourne revealed that she experienced several weeks of consistent nausea and increased thirst while taking the medication, but had no appetite.
She explained to Morgan that the lack of desire is the reason she emphasizes the importance of keeping this stuff away from younger people, as it can provoke extreme behavior that is not acceptable. Reporting contributed by CNN's Lisa Respers France.
