Jackée Harry Shows Off New Facelift At 69 Years Old: ‘I’m Yanked’

Emmy Award–winning actress Jackée Harry is starting the new year looking refreshed—and unapologetically confident.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Sister, Sister star revealed that she underwent a deep plane facelift, a cosmetic procedure designed to lift underlying muscle and fat to restore more youthful facial contours. The surgery was performed at the Lasky Clinic Surgical Center in Beverly Hills and took approximately four hours, involving both her face and neck.
According to Harry’s surgeon, the procedure can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $250,000, depending on the scope of work.
Harry explained that her primary concern was loose skin along the sides of her face. While she admitted feeling nervous about going under the knife, she said the desire to address it ultimately outweighed her fear—despite some people urging her not to go through with it.
“When you constantly want something that bad, you gotta do it,” Harry told ET. “And I discovered I wanted it that bad. It’s terrifying but exciting.”
The actress also shared the celebrities who inspired her decision. “‘The Ricki Lake’ special I call it,” she joked, before also naming Kris Jenner, Jane Fonda, and the late Diahann Carroll. Carroll, she noted, once encouraged her to consider cosmetic surgery decades ago, telling her she should have done it at 35.

Nearly four months post-op, photos shared by her doctor show visibly lifted skin and smoothed wrinkles. Dr. Davis, who performed the procedure, emphasized that maintaining Harry’s natural expressiveness was a top priority.
“Like many of our patients, we discussed her desire to keep her expressive and animated face while maintaining her natural beauty,” he wrote. “She didn’t want to look like anyone but herself… Now, she is nearly three and a half months post-op with about three more months of healing ahead of her.”

Harry appears thrilled with the results.
“They call it snatched,” she said. “I’m yanked.”
She also made it clear that the procedure wasn’t about insecurity or denying her age.
“I have no qualms about how old I am or who I am,” she said. “This helps, it boosts it. It pushes it forward, so why not?”
Harry first rose to fame as Sandra Clark on NBC’s 227 and later became a household name as Lisa Landry on Sister, Sister. Decades into her career, she remains candid, confident, and firmly in control of her own narrative—on and off screen.
