Actress Jane Fonda has had so many operations lately that she's destined to be "bionic," she jokes in a new tell-all interview about her face-changing plastic surgery.

Fonda may not be the $6 million-dollar woman quite yet, but the 72-year-old tells Entertainment Tonight there was a reason she decided to splurge on eye and chin jobs this year after famously swearing off cosmetic procedures a decade ago.

"It was a hard decision to make, and I decided if I'm going to do it, I'm going to tell the truth," Fonda explains. "I'm writing a book about aging, so I can't write a book and not say I've had plastic surgery."

Fonda reveals that she had the procedures after a lot of reflection. "I just decided it was for me. I don't want to have bags under my eyes that make me look tired and so on and so forth."

The former fitness queen, who had the best-selling workout videos of all time, has also had her hip and knee replaced in recent years, prompting her to quip: "I'm going to soon be bionic. If I don't stay active my body stops functioning."

Staying kinetic doesn't seem to be a problem for the septuagenarian: Her new "Prime Time Walk Out" and "Prime Time Fit & Strong" workout DVD series arrive in stores Nov. 30.

As StyleList reported earlier this year, Fonda will be sweating in contemporary attire -- she dropped leg warmers for yoga pants and tight tops.
