Ricki Lake Marks One-Year Facelift Anniversary After Major Weight Loss

Ricki Lake has openly shared her journey of weight loss and subsequent cosmetic surgery, marking significant milestones in her health and appearance. She and her husband each lost over 30 pounds without relying on pharmaceuticals, a journey she described as the healthiest weight loss she has experienced. Following this, Lake underwent a deep plane lower face and neck lift along with a mild CO2 laser treatment, primarily to address loose skin under her chin that did not tighten after her weight loss. She credited her decision to a friend's thorough research and experience with the surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad, whom she praised as a master in his field. Reflecting on the one-year anniversary of her procedure, Lake called it a brave choice and one of the best decisions she's made, emphasizing her commitment to transparency and destigmatizing plastic surgery. Throughout, she maintained a positive self-image, celebrating her achievements and embracing her age and natural gray hair.
