Ms. Ricki Lake, aged 56 and recipient of a Daytime Emmy Award, has publicly confirmed that she elected to undergo significant cosmetic surgery following her attainment of a personal weight loss goal of 130 pounds in January.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday, Ms. Lake stated:
“I’ve had a lower face and neck lift.”
She further explained that the procedure addressed excess skin resulting from her weight loss, remarking:
“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.”
Ms. Lake’s disclosure follows recent revelations by Ms. Kylie Jenner, who surprised her social media followers by publicly discussing the specifics of her own cosmetic surgery during an exchange with a fan.
Demonstrating transparency and a willingness to share her experience, Ms. Lake credited her plastic surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad of Beverly Hills, referring to him as a “genius” and further stating:
“I kind of think it’s the best facelift I’ve ever seen.”
In response, host Mr. Andy Cohen expressed enthusiasm and admiration for the results of her procedure, remarking:
“[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.”
Ms. Ricki Lake has emphasized the high quality and discretion of her recent cosmetic procedures, stating that any postoperative scarring is imperceptible. She remarked:
“You can’t see [anything]. It looks amazing.”
Ms. Lake further expressed her pride in being open about her experience, affirming her long-standing commitment to transparency and addressing the broader social context by adding:
“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.”
This public acknowledgment occurred during an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, approximately ten days after Ms. Kylie Jenner, executive producer and star of The Kardashians, publicly disclosed detailed information about her own cosmetic enhancements via TikTok.
In response to an inquiry from a follower, Ms. Jenner specified the nature of her breast augmentation, stating:
“445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone!”
She additionally credited her surgeon, saying:
“[Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!”
Ms. Lake, a nominee for the Independent Spirit Award, has recently drawn public attention for her notably slimmer appearance, having achieved a weight loss of 40 pounds over a span of fewer than two years. This transformation was accomplished without the use of GLP-1 agonist medications, which have gained popularity in recent years.
In a January interview with Us Weekly, Ms. Lake clarified her position on such medications:
“I did not go on any drug because I wasn’t prediabetic. 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.”#newsafro_
