Ricki Lake Reveals Face Neck Lift After 40-Pound Weight Loss

Ricki Lake, 56, has openly discussed her recent lower face and neck lift following a weight loss of over 30 pounds, which she and her husband Ross Burningham achieved through diet and exercise without pharmaceuticals. She praised her surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad, calling him a genius and stated that the procedure addressed loose skin left from her weight loss, resulting in a natural look without visible scarring. Lake emphasized her transparency about the surgery to reduce stigma around cosmetic procedures, highlighting that the changes have made her feel strong and amazing. Her weight loss journey began in late 2023, motivated by a commitment to health during perimenopause, and she notably declined weight loss medications like Ozempic despite a doctor's recommendation. Alongside changing her appearance, Lake has embraced her natural gray hair following previous hair loss and head shaving. The candid conversation took place during an appearance on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," where Cohen complimented her refreshed look and expressed interest in her surgeon.
