She loves expensive thrills.

Singer-songwriter Sia, 47, revealed Sunday that she recently underwent a face-lift while honoring her friend and Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei at the 2023 Daytime Beauty Awards.

“I’m a pop star that normally hides my face and doesn’t lie about s–t,” the “Chandelier” singer told the audience about her signature wigs that cover her face.

“I got an amazing face-lift from Dr. Talei. He is incredible, and he is doing so much good work — and not just for the pop stars of the world,” she added while presenting him with the outstanding achievement in medicine award.

The newlywed continued that she often drops her doctor’s name when her friends rave to her that she looks “nice.”

“I’m like, ‘Dr. Ben Talei, face-lift — for, like, anything you could ever want.’ I love him. I can’t say enough good about him,” the Aussie said while promoting her pal.

Talei also had nothing but good things to say about the Grammy nominated pop star once he approached the podium.

“I don’t know if you guys know how amazing Sia is as a person,” he said onstage. “We have a lot of common friends, and it’s always shocking how many keep saying, ‘I love her, I love her, I love her. She’s amazing.’”

He continued: “She really is — like you can see — a bright ray of sunshine and made my nieces’ and nephews’ days. She invited them over to her house for a big party, and the whole family loves her. I’m super grateful.”

The Post has contacted reps for Sia for comment.

Sia has previously stated that she chooses to conceal her face to maintain a level of privacy.

“If anyone besides famous people knew what it was like to be a famous person, they would never want to be famous,” she wrote for Billboard in 2013.

She elaborated to the New York Times the next year: “I just wanted to have a private life. Once, as my friend was telling me they had cancer, someone came up and asked, in the middle of the conversation, if they could take a photograph with me. You get me? That’s enough, right?”

Earlier this year, Sia revealed that she is on the autism spectrum.

Her later-in-life diagnosis came two years after she faced backlash for casting “Dance Moms” alum Maddie Ziegler — who has starred in many of Sia’s music videos — as a nonverbal autistic girl in her movie “Music.”
