Ricki Lake Says She Booked Her 2024 Facelift on Impulse After 40‑Pound Weight Loss

She describes scheduling the July 18 procedure right after a mid‑June consult to correct loose skin under her chin.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Inside Edit podcast released March 16, Lake said she did no research and took the next available slot with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Foulad.
  • She said the choice followed a 40‑pound loss that left excess skin, stressing it was not about looking younger or concealing gray hair.
  • Lake reported a rapid recovery, noting she hosted an Academy Museum event two weeks after surgery and “looked flawless.”
  • She previously acknowledged the lower face/neck lift in June 2025 on Watch What Happens Live and has repeatedly praised the outcome.
  • Lake has said she reached her goal weight without GLP‑1 medications, crediting a strict keto diet, Pilates and daily weighted hikes.
