Ricki Lake reveals she had major plastic surgery makeover after 40lb weight loss
'I've had a lower face and neck lift,' the 56-year-old Daytime Emmy winner announced on Watch What Happens Live Thursday.
'This is something that was bothering me. I lost a lot of weight and I had this certain [skin] hanging [on my neck]. I had it fixed.'
Ricki then proved she was no gatekeeper by giving a shout out to 'genius' Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Allen Foulad: 'I kind of think it's the best facelift I've ever seen.'
At that, host Andy Cohen gushed: '[I've] got to tell you I'm heading to LA for this! I've seen a lot of [plastic surgery] work in these chairs. That's really good.'
'You can't see [any] thing. It looks amazing,' Lake said of scarring.
'And I love that I can talk about it. I'm fully transparent, always have been, but I don't want there to be any stigma.'
The New York native's confession on the boozy Bravo talk show came 10 days after The Kardashians producer-star Kylie Jenner decided to spill the secrets to her ample assets.
'445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone!' the 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics CEO replied to a grateful fan on TikTok.
'[Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!'
The Independent Spirit Award nominee looks thinner than ever after dropping 40lbs off her 5ft3in frame in less than two years without the help from a trendy GLP-1 agonist drug.
'I did not go on any drug because I wasn't prediabetic,' Ricki explained to Us Weekly in January.
'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.'
Celebrities who've admitted to taking the trendy injectables include Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Bates, Kelly Clarkson, Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan Trainor, Elon Musk, Rebel Wilson, Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Lauren Manzo, Dolores Catania, and Golnesa 'GG' Gharachedaghi.
But for every celebrity who admits to hopping aboard the Ozempic train, there are many more who've remained suspiciously silent while slimming including Lizzo, Mindy Kaling, Melissa McCarthy, Khloe Kardashian, Lana Del Rey, Christina Aguilera, and Patricia Arquette.
The FDA has only approved three GLP-1 drugs specifically for weight loss - the semaglutide Wegovy, the liraglutide Saxenda, and the tirzepatide Zepboun - and the rest are specifically for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes.
The 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics CEO replied to a grateful fan on TikTok: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone! [Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!'
The Hairspray alum - who once topped the scales at 260lbs - previously struggled with her weight and yo-yo dieting for decades (pictured in 1988)
Lake whittled down her size-four figure with a strict keto diet, intermittent fasting, Pilates classes, and two-mile daily hikes while wearing a weighted vest.
'I wore a glucose monitor,' the Stone Road Farms collaborator continued.
'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 - who once topped the scales at 260lbs - previously struggled with her weight and yo-yo dieting for decades.
On June 18, Lake will celebrate the 24th birthday of her son Owen, and she also mothered 28-year-old son Milo during her nine-year marriage to first ex-husband, illustrator Rob Sussman, which ended in 2004.
On January 8, the Fatty15 paid partner and her third husband Ross Burningham lost their $5M Malibu home in the Palisades wildfire, and they've since moved to New York City.
Ricki is perhaps best known for hosting her very own syndicated, daytime talk show from 1993-2004.
But Lake got her big break in 1988 portraying drag queen Divine's 'pleasantly plump' onscreen daughter Tracy Turnblad in John Waters' racially-charged dance comedy Hairspray.
The former DWTS contestant went on to act in the 79-year-old raunchy director's films Cry Baby (1990) and Serial Mom (1994) as well as Adam Shankman's 2007 musical remake of Hairspray and NBC's Hairspray Live! in 2016.

Man's terrifying discovery after setting up camera to work out why food was going missing
An actor was living with his girlfriend in New York City when he noticed that his food was going missing - so he set up a hidden camera in the kitchen to catch the culprit New York-based actor Joe Cummings was living with his girlfriend when he noticed something strange - his food kept disappearing. Sure he wasn't imagining things, he initially suspected his girlfriend was sneaking late-night snacks. But when she denied it, Joe decided to get to the bottom of the mystery by installing a hidden camera in the kitchen. It comes after a woman claimed 'My friend is naming her baby after a fish – she can't see how ugly it is'. What he discovered was far more disturbing than he ever expected. Rather than catching his girlfriend red-handed, the footage revealed something straight out of a horror film: a woman he didn't recognise slowly emerging from a storage loft above the kitchen in the dead of night. She climbed down onto a table, used the kitchen sink as a toilet, drank from the fridge, and helped herself to food from the pantry. At one point in the footage, shared on YouTube, Joe himself walks into the kitchen, unaware of the intruder silently hiding just out of view. After reviewing the shocking clip in 2009, Joe immediately left the apartment and called the police. When officers arrived, they found the woman still hiding in the loft. According to Joe, she had set up a makeshift sleeping area with a blanket in the crawl space, which extended surprisingly deep into the building's structure and had no ventilation. 'The police officers thought she had been living there for at least a couple of weeks,' Joe later explained. 'I had no idea who she was. She didn't say much when the cops came and took her out.' Joe speculated that the woman may have entered through a fire escape window and decided to stay, possibly after initially breaking in to rob the place. Police added that this wasn't the first time they had encountered a squatter living secretly in someone's home. Ultimately, Joe chose not to press charges, saying he 'felt bad' for the woman, describing her behaviour as almost 'feral.' The unsettling footage was later uploaded to YouTube, where it quickly went viral - unnerving millions of viewers around the world.

Amanda Bynes puts Ozempic results on display during rare outing after OnlyFans bombshell
Amanda Bynes was looking significantly trimmer as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday, weeks after opening up about her Ozempic-assisted weight loss journey. The former Nickelodeon star, 39, was spotted running errands in a fitted white T-shirt and curve-hugging black leggings—an outfit that highlighted her slimmed-down figure and toned arms. It marked a stark contrast from her recent outings and social media posts, where she's often bundled up in oversized hoodies and sweatpants, keeping her body under wraps. In June, the She's the Man actress took to social media to share that she was starting Ozempic, a diabetes medication that's become a hot-button weight loss trend in Hollywood. 'I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130,' she said in a candid and now-viral update. The outing comes after she announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site OnlyFans back in April, telling fans she was using the platform solely to communicate with them—and made it clear she had no plans to post anything 'sleazy.' Amanda Bynes was looking significantly trimmer as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday, weeks after opening up about her Ozempic-assisted weight loss journey Calling it a 'career renaissance,' she wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon, a year after the explosive documentary Quiet on Set, which exposed the 'toxic environment' at the TV network. A source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,' the insider told 'Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. 'She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet.' The insider said she 'doesn't care if friends won't like that she is doing this' as she is 'looking to change course on how she has lived her life the last few years.' Last year, the She's the Man star, revealed she'd gained 20 pounds due to depression and at the time said she'd like to get back to the 110 pounds she weighed as a teenager They added: 'She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.' Bynes announced her OnlyFans debut on Instagram, 15 years after quitting the entertainment business. 'I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's,' she wrote alongside a screenshot of her new profile. 'I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.' She is charging fans more than $50 per month to access her page which currently has mirror selfies. Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile since quitting Hollywood in 2010. It followed a tumultuous time for the troubled star who suffered a highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s before being placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013. In the wake of the documentary Quiet on the Set, a video circulated of a bikini-clad Bynes, who was a child at the time, sitting in a hot tub with a fully clothed Schneider. The clip was taken from Bynes' recurring sketch, Amanda's Jacuzzi, which saw the young star interview guests in the bubbling pool. Commentators recalled Schneider and Bynes being 'very close' – including 'physically.' Karyn Finley Thompson, who worked as an editor on several Nickelodeon shows, said: 'There were many times that I saw Amanda sitting behind him, hugging him or giving him like a neck massage or whatever. 'Dan and Amanda had a close relationship, and I didn't think anything different than that. The hot tub scene though I always thought was a little odd.' Schneider departed from the network in 2018 amid numerous allegations of misconduct.
