Ricki Lake Shares Her Experience of an Impulsive Facelift.

Ricki Lake has no regrets about her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery.

During the episode of the “Inside Edit” podcast on March 16, Lake, who is 57, praised the results of her facelift.

“I told my doctor, Dr. Alan Fouad, whom I connected with through a mutual friend, that I didn’t conduct any research before impulsively deciding to have my face done,” the actress revealed, mentioning that her friend had done her due diligence beforehand.

“After seeing her just eight days post-surgery, I was amazed—she looked fantastic and was filled with joy,” Lake recounted about her friend. “She seemed like a completely different person and was on cloud nine.”

Inspired by her friend’s positive experience, Lake chose to have surgery as well.

“I had recently lost 40 pounds, and I noticed this excess skin,” Lake said, gesturing to her neck. She emphasized that her goal wasn’t to “appear younger” but to embrace the aging process. “It felt like I had an extra appendage that wouldn’t return to its original position,” she described.

Lake underwent the procedure in July 2025 and “has never looked back.” She even declared the results to be the “best facelift [she’s] ever seen.”

“I love discussing it. I’ve always been very transparent,” she shared. “I want to remove any stigma around this. It was an issue for me that needed addressing.”

Ultimately, Lake viewed plastic surgery as a confidence booster. She summarized, “I lost a significant amount of weight and had this specific concern fixed.”

Lake isn’t the only celebrity open about her facelift; Kris Jenner, Jane Fonda, Sharon Osbourne, Cher, and Dolly Parton are among others who have undergone similar procedures.
