Summary

  • Instagram photos posted July 18 showed Ricki Lake’s before-and-after results two years after a deep plane lower face and neck lift with a mild CO2 laser.
  • Lake, 57, said she chose surgery after losing 40 pounds in 2023 left extra skin under her chin that she said would not tighten on its own.
  • Dr. Allen Foulad performed the procedure, which Lake called natural-looking and long-lasting as she marked the two-year anniversary of the operation.
  • A 2025 Watch What Happens Live appearance and earlier Instagram posts fit the same pattern: Lake has framed both her facelift and weight-loss journey around openness and rejecting stigma.
