Ricki Lake is continuing to show off and celebrate the results of her dramatic facelift.
The actress and former talk show host, 57, marked two years since she underwent the cosmetic procedure by sharing new photographs from before and after the facelift through an Instagram post shared on Saturday, July 18.
“Happy 2 year anniversary to me. Yes, 2 years ago today, I had a face lift. Specifically, for those wondering, I had a deep plane lower face and neck lift along with a mild co2 laser,” Lake began the caption of her post.
Giving a shoutout to her “incredibly talented and kind surgeon,” Dr. Allen Foulad, the Hairspray alum said the medical professional “made the experience a wonderful one and my results have been remarkable, natural, and long-lasting.”

According to Lake, in 2023, she “lost 40 lbs. over the course of a year, and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin.”
“It was never going to tighten up by itself,” she continued to explain, adding: “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.”
In her photo carousel, Lake included side-by-side images that showed the before and after right before her facelift, as well as solo photos of herself from various points before and after she went under the knife. She also included a few pics with Dr. Foulad, as well as two recent makeup-free selfies.
The mother of two concluded her candid Instagram caption with a series of hashtags, including “#Transparency,”
“#SelfLove,” “#PlasticSurgery,” “#ThisIs57” and “#Grateful.”
Last year, Lake marked the one-year anniversary of her facelift with a similarly candid Instagram post.
“One year ago today I did a thing,” Lake began her lengthy caption, sharing photos of how her body changed over the past year, including some photos of her skin pre-surgery.
“One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be,” she continued.
Lake has been open about her body journey over the years, highlighting how her physical transformation has been made possible thanks to a strict keto diet, intermittent fasting, daily hikes — where she often used a weighted vest — and Pilates, as well as through sleep tracking and monitoring her blood sugar.
