Ricki Lake's Impulsive Facelift: 'Best I've Ever Seen'

Ricki Lake recently detailed her spontaneous decision to have a facelift after losing 40 pounds, which resulted in excess skin under her chin. She described the procedure as impulsive, with minimal research involved, booking it soon after her consultation in mid-June for July 18. Lake explained that the primary motivation was the "hanging appendage" that would not resolve naturally, rather than a desire to look younger.

The "Hairspray" star was significantly influenced by witnessing a friend's "euphoric" and transformative experience just eight days after her surgery. This positive observation solidified Lake's decision. She was pleasantly surprised by her own recovery, noting she healed very quickly and felt "flawless" while hosting an event at the Academy Museum only two weeks post-operation.
