Ricki Lake Celebrates Her Facelift’s Second Anniversary On Instagram
If you don’t recognize Ricki Lake by name, you might recognize her from her iconic originating role as Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 film Hairspray. Afterward, she became a super-popular television host, with her tabloid-esque series, Ricki Lake, that lasted 12 seasons.
Though she’s no longer in the public eye as frequently, she’s been keeping her fans updated on what’s going on in her life via her social media profiles, particularly her Instagram page. Anyone who’s been following her since 2021 might’ve noticed that she’s dropped a significant amount of weight, documenting her journey to losing 40 pounds within a year alongside her husband. However, her transformative weight loss hasn’t been the only thing that’s changed her life.
Last summer, she revealed that she had a facelift in 2024 on Instagram, after her weight loss left her with excess skin around her face and neck that she wanted to get rid of. Now, she’s celebrating two years of her facelift with a new post, praising her “incredibly talented and kind surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad,” and noting that it’s been “remarkable, natural, and long-lasting.”
Her post contained a series of before-and-after photos “without makeup or filters,” including some snaps from the doctor’s office where Dr. Foulad could be seen examining her face.

Fans React To Ricki's Facelift Results And Anniversary Post
These days, plastic surgery procedures and treatment amongst celebrities continue to be a taboo topic in pop culture.
Some stars, like Kris Jenner, have opened up about having bigger operations like a facelift, explaining the reasoning. In contrast, others who are surrounded by plastic surgery rumors continue to stay tight-lipped and private about them. Therefore, when the former show host opened up about why she decided to get her facelift and described the entire process, it was a breath of fresh air for some pop culture lovers.
"Back in 2023, I had lost 40 lbs over the course of a year, and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin," Ricki wrote in her caption. "It was never going to tighten up by itself. I took a leap of faith, and I'm so grateful I did."
In the comment section, fans of hers and other social media users hyped her up, praising her results and appreciating her honesty in the meantime.
"I love that you shared this and that you didn't try to make yourself look unnaturally young," commented a follower. "Looking good, Ricki!"
"Amazing," wrote another. "This is how you do a neck and face lift. Not so you look like you can't bloody move your face. Looks fantastic."
"Looks great," one user wrote. "I don't think surgery should be a negative thing when it makes the person feel better."
Another echoed their sentiment, adding, "That is the most natural facelift I have ever seen, absolutely beautiful. I always said I would never get a facelift, but your results have me second-guessing."
"You look great!" commented a fan. "Thank you for your honesty regarding the facelift. You're an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to a lot of women."
