Ricki Lake has unveiled the results of her facelift one year after undergoing surgery. The 56-year-old former talk show host shared before-and-after photos on Instagram on Friday, describing the procedure as 'one of the best decisions' she ever made.
Lake explained that she opted for a deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild CO2 laser, after losing 40lbs. 'I 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.'
The star credited her plastic surgeon, Dr Allen Foulad, and a friend who had recommended him. Lake said she 'still felt extra cute' before the surgery but considered the facelift 'the icing on the cake' after her weight loss journey.
Lake's weight loss was achieved through a strict keto diet, intermittent fasting, and a disciplined workout routine including Pilates and daily two-mile hikes with a weighted vest. She also wore a glucose monitor and prioritised sleep and low stress.
Fans praised Lake's transparency, with one commenting: 'Honestly, best facelift I've ever seen on a celebrity. You look like yourself still!' Another said: 'Beautiful before and after. Nothing better than looking how you feel!'
