Amy Grant woke up to surprise face-lift after surgery following bike accident
Amy Grant said her doctors gave her a surprise face-lift while she was under the knife for throat surgery following a serious crash on her bike in 2022.
Amy Grant is trying to see the best in the aftermath of her 2022 bike wreck that left her with a brain injury.
The "Breath of Heaven" singer told E! News recently that she woke up to a surprise face-lift after a five-hour surgery following her crash.
"They asked me, ‘Hey, we’re going into your throat, do you want a face-lift?’ And I said, ‘Dear God, no, I actually have to be on stage in X number of weeks.’ It was a five-hour surgery, and they took it like that," she explained, tracing across her jawline with her finger. "I didn’t ask for it, but I came out of surgery and my neck was a little tighter."
She said after all the work she felt like an "old beat-up car that went in and got a paint job and had the dents knocked out. And it was just, I mean, that’s a gift."

"I had this bike wreck and, unbeknownst to me, I actually had a cyst growing in my throat and because of the trauma of that bike wreck it went into hypergrowth," the "Baby, Baby" singer said. "I had this five-hour surgery, and they took it out."
The 63-year-old said that the accident has also left her with short-term memory issues, and she had to reteach herself to sing after her throat surgery.
"I still have issues with my short-term memory. My balance is still weird. I made a joke about it last night. You know, sometimes I walk around like I'm drunk, and I just have to laugh about all of it," she told the outlet.
