Sharon Osbourne told a startling story on a recent episode of The Osbournes podcast, saying she woke up after a cosmetic treatment to find an unexpected indentation in her face. Her candid exchange with son Jack and daughter-in-law Aree turned into a blunt examination of botched work, recovery and why she keeps returning to cosmetic fixes.
What Sharon described on the podcast about the botched procedure
On the episode, Sharon recounted waking to discoloration and an apparent dent running from her upper lip to her chin. She said the mark felt like a lasting change, not a temporary bruise.

Sharon Osbourne wakes with dent in face after botched plastic surgery
She suggested the surgeon may have paused mid-procedure, even taking a phone call, and left a colleague to continue. When she returned to complain, she said the doctor blamed the result on a “special” injection meant to correct the issue.
Her verdict was blunt: the fix failed and she believes she was left with a permanent indentation.
Family reaction and live conversation details
Jack Osbourne and his wife, Aree Gearhart, listened and pushed back at the idea of a visible dent. Both told Sharon they couldn’t detect the flaw she described.
The exchange moved between humor and frustration, and Sharon used the moment to vent about the emotional cost of repeated cosmetic work.
Why she keeps getting work done — and the regret that follows
Sharon explained the tug-of-war many patients face: one part wanting a refreshed face, another part aware that the rest of the body still ages normally.
- She noted that a tightened face can clash with wrinkled arms or sagging skin.
- That gap between face and body fuels further procedures.
- She called the recovery from such operations “brutal.”
Sharon questioned who she’s trying to please, even asking aloud if her choices are tied to the memory of late husband Ozzy Osbourne.
Past surgeries and a public vow to stop
Sharon has been open about a string of cosmetic interventions. She previously said a 2021 facelift left her alarmed and discouraged.
Key moments in her history with plastic surgery
- Years of procedures in the public eye.
- A 2021 facelift she described as a turning point.
- A 2023 declaration that she would stop pursuing more facelifts.
At the time, she told outlets the last operation frightened her and made her reconsider further work. She has also said time is making more surgeries impractical.
Medical risks and emotional fallout many patients face
Sharon’s story touches on broader concerns about cosmetic medicine: inconsistent results, rushed practices and recovery that can be tougher than patients expect.
- Procedural complications can produce long-term changes in appearance.
- Patients sometimes feel dismissed when they complain to providers.
- Emotional and identity questions often follow repeat treatments.
Her experience highlights the fragile balance between seeking improvement and accepting natural aging.
