Kathy Griffin was spotted looking remarkably refreshed this week, leaving a Malibu Pilates class with her signature humor and flair intact. The 64-year-old comedian recently revealed she had undergone a third face lift, and fans got a first glimpse of her rejuvenated look as she stepped out in casual workout attire.
Malibu Outing Highlights Her New Look
Griffin appeared virtually wrinkle-free, sporting sunglasses to shield her eyes.
She kept it casual with an orange T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “Adopt, don’t shop,” paired with navy leggings and black flats.
After her workout, she tied her red hair into a high ponytail and carried a blue and white tote bag, a noticeable change from the loose auburn waves she had earlier in the day.
Her fresh appearance sparked curiosity after she’d been seen hiking near her $8.8 million Malibu home looking surprisingly taut.
Comedian Opens Up About Her Cosmetic Journey
Kathy didn’t shy away from discussing her third face lift on her Talk Your Head Off podcast, joking, “Very taut is also very true! It’s my third.
I know that’s so vain!” She added with her trademark humor that fans don’t come to her shows for her youthful looks—they come for her jokes. “I’m in Lululemons today, for God’s sake.
I’m in my fat pants. I don’t have dysmorphia… I have a little,” she quipped.
The Surgeon Behind the Transformation
Griffin credited Dr. Ben Talei, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, for her latest procedures. Talei previously worked with the famously camera-shy pop star Sia, wh
o has publicly praised his skills. Kathy’s cosmetic work wasn’t limited to a facelift; it also included a blepharoplasty, foxy eye lift, and chin work. She joked about the minor discomfort, saying, “There’s a stitch in my chin, which you probably won’t see unless you’re under me… It’s painful.
So these people who are like, ‘It’s nothing!’ No, it’s painful.”
Recovery and Reflections on Vanity
Kathy described her recovery process candidly, recalling her stay at a high-end recovery facility.
“It’s not all ladies—there were a couple of guys—but everyone’s kind of in hiding,” she said. “The first night there are drains in your chin.
I know it’s gross, but the vanity takes over.” The comedian has been open about past struggles, including a 2020 hospitalization related to prescription pill addiction stemming from old injuries.
A Legacy of Humor and Cosmetic Honesty
With 4.1 million social media followers, Griffin continues to share her life openly, receiving praise from friends like Melissa Rivers, whose late mother Joan Rivers was a mentor to Kathy.
Joan Rivers famously joked about her many procedures, setting a precedent for the kind of candidness Griffin embraces.
Kathy herself has undergone a long history of cosmetic work, dating back to a nose job at age 26, and including breast augmentation, brow-lifts, facials, liposuction, and a peel.
Upcoming Projects and Personal Life
Kathy kicks off her humorously named New Face, New Tour on November 8 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, after completing her 75-city My Life on the PTSD-List Tour.
She also holds the Guinness World Record for the most televised stand-up specials, with 20 under her belt.
Griffin will lend her voice to Chastity Piranha in the animated pilot SPoRKartOON, premiering August 24 at the Hop Hop Film Festival in Harlem alongside Tatum O’Neal, Rosie O’Donnell, and Margaret Cho.
On the personal front, Griffin finalized her divorce from Randy Bick in January after nearly four years of marriage, following a nine-year relationship with a brief four-month split.
Her first marriage to Matt Moline ended in 2006 after five years.
Despite these ups and downs, Griffin continues to embrace her life with humor, resilience, and, now, a boldly refreshed face.
