Kathy Griffin is rocking her third facelift, a month after sparking backlash for her "Pennywise" appearance.

Kathy Griffin has been vocal about her relationship with plastic surgery, and did not hide the details of her new transformation. She broke the news about her facelift after fans noticed her "taut" features.

Griffin turned heads on Sunday, August 17, after she was seen shopping at the Studio City Farmer's Market in Los Angeles. She stepped out with a mystery man, both rocking casual ensembles with matching blue colors.
The TV personality donned a light pink Sonny & Cher t-shirt with baggy high-waisted navy blue pants. She completed the look with a light blue bag, sunglasses, and sneakers. Meanwhile, her companion showed off his toned legs in khaki shorts and a navy blue top.
Pictures from the outing, shared by The Daily Mail, captured Griffin and her mystery man walking side by side. One image showed them taking a break and enjoying what appeared to be frozen treats while chatting.

Griffin's recent outing follows her confessions about her third facelift procedure. She confirmed she went under the knife on her "Talk Your Head Off" podcast last week, with The Blast covering the story.
Griffin joked about her vain nature, noting she had no reason to be worried about her looks because fans loved her for her jokes rather than her appearance. Despite knowing this, she underwent cosmetic procedures to look good and stay youthful.
The TV personality revealed she underwent her third facelift after seeing the fantastic results Sia got from her work with Dr. Ben Talei. She credited the surgeon for giving her the perfect operation but warned fans about the painful recovery process, stressing that it was not for the weak.
The Entertainer Addressed The Hate She Received

Griffin unveiled the results of her third facelift a month after trending for the wrong reasons. She became the internet's punching bag after paparazzi pictures captured her unflattering appearance while working out in Malibu.
She addressed the memes and hate she received over the viral pictures, claiming she was not offended by reporters invading her privacy. Griffin noted the snaps proved she was alive and well after her tumultuous health battles and laughed off the criticisms.
According to Griffin, she couldn't have makeup on while working out, and was at the age where she did not need to wear as much makeup. She also slammed trolls for attacking her natural hair and urged fans to accept her for who she was.

Last month, The Blast shared that Griffin was trending for the wrong reasons after the paparazzi caught her working out in Malibu. The pictures captured the entertainer in her natural state, but critics slammed her for looking unrecognizable.
These trolls compared Griffin to "Pennywise," claiming she looked similar to the villain clown from Stephen King's "IT" franchise. Others claimed Griffin's natural appearance was "frightening," while hardcore fans defended her and warned critics to stay silent.
One of the reasons trolls bashed Griffin was from her signature curly red hair, which looked worn out in the pictures. The comedian has addressed the state of her natural hair in the past, imploring fans in 2021 to accept "curly-haired self."
Kathy Griffin Underwent A Hysterectomy

Griffin's Malibu drama followed the hysterectomy she underwent in April. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she broke the news on Instagram with her signature humor, joking about not having a reality TV show to capture her health scare.
The entertainer underwent the procedure to remove her uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries following a pre-cancerous threat. Griffin was first hospitalized in 2022 for a vocal cord surgery after her battle with lung cancer affected her speech.
At the time, she claimed she was on the road to recovery and joked about needing fans' pity. She labeled herself "a baby," noting she was hurting and gladly welcomed the public's sympathy, love, and support because she felt sorry for herself.
