Ricki Lake<\/a> is looking back at how much she\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n The former daytime TV talk show host recently shared a split imag<\/a>e of herself, before and after her 2024 facelift.<\/p>\n \u201cHappy 2 year anniversary to me,\u201d Lake posted July 18. \u201cYes, 2 years ago today, I had a facelift. Specifically, for those wondering, I had a deep plane lower face and neck lift along with a mild co2 laser. My incredibly talented and kind surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad @drallenfoulad made the experience a wonderful one and my results have been remarkable, natural, and long-lasting.\u201d<\/p>\n The star of Hairspray<\/em>, Cry-Baby<\/em>, Babycakes<\/em>, and other projects explained her motivation for seeking out change.<\/p>\n \u201cBack in 2023, I had lost 40 pounds over the course of a year and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was never going to tighten up by itself. I took a leap of faith and I\u2019m so grateful I did.\u201d<\/p>\n Ricki Lake before and after her faceliftCredit: Ricki Lake\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n She added that she was \u201cvery glad to see so many people over these past couple of years opening up about their own plastic surgery journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n Lake also noted that the last two of the images showed her recently and \u201cwithout makeup or filter.\u201d<\/p>\n Now 57, Lake has lived in the spotlight for decades, and she\u2019s perhaps best known for hosting her own talk show beginning in the \u201890s, when she was just 23.<\/p>\n Lake has said she was inspired by Oprah Winfrey, who often shared her own experiences, such as losing weight, with her devotees, as Oprah has long been known to do.<\/p>\n \u201cI had no idea \u2014 like my cerebral cortex was just kind of fully forming, I think, at that time,\u201d Lake said this month on the Room to Feel Podcast<\/em><\/a>. \u201cBut they offered me this opportunity. I was a big fan of Oprah\u2019s at that time, and I just basically was like, \u2018All right, I\u2019m going to just channel her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <\/em><\/strong>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In practice, Lake said, she avoided the nerves \u2014 which she really doesn\u2019t get anyway \u2014by simply trying to channel the TV icon.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to just think, What would she say? What would she ask?<\/em>\u201d Lake said she thought. \u201cI had that secret sauce at that time. I was really curious about people and relationships. I was really forthcoming about my own hardships and successes and my story. I was kind of this chubby girl that people related to.\u201d<\/p>\n She acknowledged in a video<\/a> she posted last month that, much to her surprise, it had become a huge deal.<\/p>\n \u201cI had truly never, ever thought that it would be the hit that it became and sort of the cultural touchpoint for so many people,\u201d Lake said.<\/p>\n Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
