Ricki Lake is reflecting on a personal milestone, marking two years since undergoing a facelift with a new set of before-and-after photos. The actress and former talk show host used the update to revisit her cosmetic procedure and share the changes she has seen over time.
Lake said she chose the facelift after losing 40 pounds over the course of a year. According to her explanation, the weight loss left her unhappy with extra skin beneath her chin, which ultimately led her to seek the procedure.
By posting the comparison images, Lake appeared to continue a message of openness around cosmetic work and body changes. Her anniversary update places the focus not only on the results, but also on being direct about the reasons behind the decision.
The new photos add another chapter to Lake’s public discussion of her appearance, weight loss, and self-image. Framed around transparency, the post shows how she is continuing to speak candidly about a facelift she says was tied to the physical effects of her transformation.
