Ricki Lake shows off dramatic results of her face lift and hails op as 'best decision'
Ricki Lake has stunned her fans after showing off the results of her facelift one year on from the surgery. The popular US TV personality has confessed to taking action to change her appearance after her 40lb weight loss left her with excess skin she "did not like" around her chin area.
Ricki, 56, admitted the procedure was "one of the best decisions" she ever made as she shared before-and-after photos. Posting a carousel of photos from throughout her experience she shared with her followers, "One year ago today I did a thing. Yes, today July 18th, is the one year anniversary of my deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild co2 laser.
"I was in the best of hands with my plastic surgeon @drallenfoulad., a true master in his field. After a dear friend had the most incredible experience with Dr, Foulad, I made the decision to follow in her footsteps. She is that friend that does all the research and due diligence for you. She met with all the top docs in the country. So thankful for her going first."
Ricki explained her reasons as she continued, "I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin. It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55.
"Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life.
"This procedure was the icing on the cake. One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be. Also, so many people are interested and want to know, so here you go…."
Fans then heaped praise on Ricki for her makeover as one wrote, "Honestly, best facelift I've ever seen on a celebrity. You look like yourself still!"
A second said, "Beautiful before and after. Nothing better than looking how you feel! Thanks for the transparency too!" A third added, "Transparency is authentic and refreshing! Bravo for the honesty and for living your best life. You look incredible."
Ricki has been on a transformative journey since October 2023 when she and her husband "made a commitment" to get "healthier."
Her weight loss came after following a strict keto diet, as well as intermittent fasting, and embarking on a highly disciplined workout regimen including attending Pilates classes and going on two-mile daily hikes while wearing a weighted vest.
She told US Weekly, "I wore a glucose monitor. I wore my Oura ring [which tracks health data]. I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle. And it worked. It continues to work."

Ricki Lake, 56, reveals how long ago she REALLY had her facelift after going public with procedure
Ricki Lake celebrated the one-year anniversary of her facelift on Instagram this week, after going public with the procedure last month. The 56-year-old talk-show icon has embarked on a long process of revamping her appearance, slimming down and arriving at her 130lb goal by January. However the process of losing weight left her with 'extra skin that hung from below my chin,' so in July 2024 she went under the knife to have it tightened. She openly discussed the procedure for the first time on TV this June, saying she was 'fully transparent' and did not 'want there to be any stigma.' Now she has fired up her Instagram to share a suite of photos documenting the process, including a side-by-side before-and-after comparison. 'One year ago today I did a thing,' she wrote Friday. 'Yes, today July 18th, is the one year anniversary of my deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild co2 laser.' She showered praise on her Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Allen Foulad, saying she 'was in the best of hands' and calling him 'a true master in his field.' Ricki revealed: 'After a dear friend had the most incredible experience with Dr, Foulad, I made the decision to follow in her footsteps.' The Hairspray actress explained the thinking that led to the surgery, saying: 'I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin. It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55.' She assured fans: 'Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life.' Ricky declared: 'This procedure was the icing on the cake. One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be.' The accompanying Instagram album offered a deep dive into the story behind Ricki's facelift, with photos showing her first consultation with the plastic surgeon, the 'the area I disliked,' some post-op 'bruising and swelling.' One of the photos showed her sitting in bed with her head bandaged, cuddling up to her 'sweet' third husband, lawyer Ross Burningham. 'He was so nervous yet so supportive,' gushed Ricki, who celebrated her third wedding anniversary with Ross this January. Ricki first announced her facelift 11 months after it occurred, during an appearance on Watch What Happens: Live! with host Andy Cohen. Name-checking her surgeon, she explained that the skin that had been 'hanging' from her neck after her weight loss had been 'bothering me,' so she 'had it fixed.' Andy, who lives in New York, rhapsodized that he was 'going to LA' for Ricki's procedure, adding: 'I've seen a lot of work in these chairs. That's really good.' Ricki embarked on her weight loss transformation amid the Ozempic craze sweeping Hollywood, but insisted she herself did not use the diabetes medication. 'I did not go on any drug because I wasn't prediabetic,' she told Us Weekly. 'There's nothing wrong with those drugs. They're actually game changers for so many people. But for me, I did not want to be reliant on a drug if I could help it.' Instead, Ricki maintained that her means of slimming down included intermittent fasting and the fashionable keto diet, combined with an exercise regimen that featured Pilates and two-mile hikes with a weighted vest everyday. She also wore a glucose monitor, as well as a device called an Oura ring that monitors a battery of biometrics like sleep, movement and stress. 'I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle. And it worked. It continues to work,' said Ricki, who once weighed as much as 260lbs.
