Marie is the only girl of the Osmond sibling clan and one-half of the famous singing duo Donny and Marie Osmond. In November 2019, they celebrated the end of their 11-year Las Vegas residency at Flamingo Las Vegas.
In interviews, she has opened up about the pressure to be thin. As a teenager, Marie Osmond would starve herself after being told to lose weight.
“From the time I started Donny & Marie, age 15, I did starvation. I would literally starve myself for three days before taping, drinking lemon water and cayenne pepper with maple syrup so I can be skinny,” Marie told Fox News in December 2019.

“One day, I was taken out into a parking lot and one of the studio people told me that if I didn’t drop 10 pounds, they were going to cancel the show. They said I was an embarrassment to my family and I needed to keep the food out of my fat face…I was 103 pounds — I’d kill to be 103 pounds. So I got down to 93 pounds.”
“I never realized the mental abuse behind that. I went through other kinds, too. But those leave scars and traumas. I swear to you, every diet on the planet I tried,” Marie added.
“I was doing Dancing with the Stars and I thought 50 extra pounds in spandex is not a beautiful combination. I was ready. It took me about four months to lose 50 pounds. People assume I lost it on Dancing with the Stars but that’s not true. I started my journey before I did that show. And while I was doing Dancing with the Stars, Nutrisystem found me…And it was fantastic…It helped me get back to my healthier, happier self,” the singer concluded.

How does Marie look so fabulous in her 60s? Many have inquired whether she has gone under the knife to maintain her gorgeous appearance. Marie has neither admitted to nor denied this claim, but the internet continues to speculate.
New Jersey plastic surgeon Dr. Adam Hamaway spoke with Closer Weekly and stated, “Botox and Fillers [are the] staple of most celebrities, [and] she looks like she may have had a brow lift and eyelid surgery to keep her (face) looking fresh and energetic.”

When examining the photos, look closely at her cheeks, eyes, and brows. While her bangs shield her forehead, there is a subtle yet noticeable lift in the corners of her eyes. More speculation suggests a nose job.
When comparing the two photos here, the bridge of her nose is longer and skinnier in the first photo and a bit widened in the next.
Second and third opinions from plastic surgeons Dr. Andrew Miller and Dr. Vartan Mardirossian suggest the singer “may have had her eyes done along with a cheek lift and fillers.”
Looking at the contrast between her face and neck, it would not be a far-off guess to think she had a facelift done.

According to an interview with The Guardian in 2012, Marie did not altogether deny having plastic surgery done but only admitted to having undergone a topical laser treatment to tighten her skin.
Marie says of her healthcare regime and plastic surgery claims, “I am a huge advocate of drinking water. I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t smoke and rarely have caffeine. People ask me about plastic surgery. I have a tightening laser treatment – it has wonderful results, a permanent effect and there’s no cutting”.

Marie is mindful of her appearance and famously lost over 50 pounds in 2007 while competing on Dancing with the Stars.
She attributed the weight loss to a new spring of energy and youthfulness for her life and ability to perform. Marie says, “It’s very energetic, so you stay in shape whether or not you want to.”

Despite this denial of having any procedures, Marie admits to a fear of aging in several interviews throughout the years. In the same piece for The Guardian, she says, “I don’t want to age, but I would never take back a year for the wisdom I’ve gained in that time.” Who can blame her?
Her entire career has been in the spotlight, including performing five nights a week with Donny at The Flamingo in Las Vegas until November 2019, when their residency ended.
It remains unverifiable whether she has had more than Botox, Fillers, and laser treatment. In any case, there are no judgments here. Marie looks gorgeous for her age, and we applaud her.
