Related: "One year ago I did a thing," Ricki said in the caption. "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 that after her weight loss journey, she wanted to focus on adjusting her facial features. "I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin," she wrote. "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." "One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself," Ricki wrote. "I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be.

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.

Former talk show queen Ricki Lake debuts facelift live on TV
Ricki Lake is loving her new look. The actress debuted her recent facelift on US talk show Watch What Happens Live this week after host Andy Cohen complimented her appearance. 'I'll reveal this to you,' the Hairspray star, 56, said. 'I've had a lower face and neck lift.' When Cohen, 57, gushed over how 'good' Lake looked, she thanked him and said, 'I kind of think it's the best facelift I've ever seen.' She went on to give her 'genius' Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad, a shoutout. 'I've sent many people to them,' Lake added, which led Cohen to quip that he would be 'heading to LA for this' himself. He joked, 'I've seen a lot of work in these chairs. That's really good.' Lake agreed that 'you can't see nothing,' pulling back her hair to better display the results to viewers. 'It's amazing,' she continued. 'I'm fully transparent, always have been. This is something that was bothering me. I lost a lot of weight and I had this thing hanging and I had it fixed.' Lake, notably, revealed last year that she and her husband, Ross Burningham, had each lost more than 12kg — and did not use Ozempic to do so. 'We did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that),' she told her Instagram followers in February 2024. The 'proud' former talk show host felt 'strong' after slimming down from 75 to 63 pounds in just four months. On Thursday, the Daytime Emmy winner also dished about her hair transformation after shaving her head in 2019. Lake recalled, 'Then I let it go and never coloured my hair again, and my hair grew back.' Lake's plastic surgery reveal comes on the heels of Kylie Jenner sharing her breast augmentation specs in May — and multiple celebrities following suit. Kristin Cavallari and Sami Sheen shared their own numbers earlier this month. Kris Jenner also made headlines for announcing via Instagram that she went to Kylie's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, for her first facelift in 2011. Social media users — and Kim Kardashian — have been raving over the 69-year-old matriarch's latest facelift in recent months.

Ricki Lake admits to plastic surgery after 30-pound weight loss transformation
Ricki Lake has been on a transformative journey over the past few years, and the results speak for themselves. After dropping more than 30 pounds through diet and exercise, the former talk show host revealed another major change – a face and neck lift. During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" with host Andy Cohen, Lake, 56, candidly spoke out about her decision to go under the knife. Cohen complimented the way Lake looked, and she explained that six years ago, she faced hair loss. After shaving her head, she decided to let her hair grow back naturally, without dye. "I've also had, and I'll reveal this to you [although] I've told other people," Lake said. "I've had a lower face and neck lift." As Cohen continued to praise her appearance and said she looked "so good," Lake raised her hands under her chin to highlight her jawline. "Thank you, I kind of think it's the best facelift I've ever seen," Lake added. "And my doctor, let me give a shoutout, because he's a genius." Lake praised her surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad, for his expertise and went on to share how incredible she felt after the procedure. "I love that I can talk about it. I'm fully transparent, always have been," she remarked. "I don't want there to be any stigma. This is something that was bothering me." "I lost a lot of weight and I had this certain thing hanging and I had it fixed." The "Hairspray" actress' comments come after she detailed her weight-loss journey last year. In May 2024, Lake revealed she refused Ozempic to help her after it was pushed on her by a doctor. "The doctor was pushing it for people who were overweight," Lake recalled in an interview on "Good Morning America." "And he was saying you weren't going to be successful without it, is what he said to me, really. And I like a challenge. And I like proving people wrong. And so it pissed me off. I just was reluctant, and I wanted to give it a go on my own." Lake noted at the time that this was the "best" she felt in life. She and husband Ross Burningham began their weight-loss journey in the fall of 2023. The actress shared that they were intermittent fasting and dived into a keto diet. The couple also started exercising, including Pilates. Burningham has also lost over 40 pounds during their joint effort. The couple tied the knot in January 2022.

Ricki Lake reveals she had major plastic surgery makeover after 40lb weight loss
Ricki Lake revealed she underwent a major plastic surgery makeover after reaching her 130lb goal weight in January. '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.
