Ricki Lake called the facelift a 'brave choice.'
My incredibly talented and kind surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad made the experience a wonderful one and my results have been remarkable, natural, and long-lasting," the talk show host continued.
She also noted Celebrity Weight-Loss Journeys: From John Goodman to Ricki Lake and More and "did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin."
"It was never going to tighten up by itself. I took a leap of faith and I’m so grateful I did. I am also very glad to see so many people over these past couple of years opening up about their own plastic surgery journeys. The last two pics are recent and without makeup or filter," Lake explained.

Ricki Lake Once Called Her Plastic Surgery 'a Brave Choice'
Ricki Lake underwent her procedure in 2024.
She then added the hashtags: "#transparency #selflove #plasticsurgery #thisis57#grateful."
Another photo in her gallery showcased Lake with her new face as she rocked gray hair. Other snaps featured the TV personality at the doctor's office looking at herself in the mirror after going under the knife.
Last year, Lake also celebrated the one-year anniversary of her plastic surgery, calling it a "brave choice," and "one of the best decisions I ever made for myself."
Ricki Lake lost and gained weight throughout her life.
The Emmy winner has been open about her health journey in the past, previously noting her strict keto diet, intermittent fasting and daily hikes contributed to her weight loss.
Back in 2008, Lake spoke to People about losing over 140 lbs. from her highest weight of 270 lbs.
“I can’t believe I was a fat person for most of my life,” Lake candidly said. “I didn’t have surgery and I worked hard. There’s no secret. I’m active. I watch what I eat."
“According to Hollywood standards, I’m not a thin girl. I'm a normal girl,” she confessed. “I don’t want to perpetuate that obsession but yet I am also guilty of wanting … to lose weight.”
The former The Ricki Lake Show host told Maury Povich earlier this year she didn't use GLP-1s for her 40-pound weight loss.
