Raise your hand if you watched episodes of Ricki Lake from 1993—2004 when you were sick and stayed home from school. 🙋
The former talk show host, 56, was on the June 12 episode of WWHL talking about the loss she experienced during the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year, when she revealed she switched up her look after she struggled with hair loss six years ago.
In 2019, Ricki took “a brave ass leap of faith” and shaved her hair after secretly struggling with androgenic hair loss. She shared raw video footage of the process in 2022.
Ricki shared that once she cut her hair, she never colored it again, and then her hair grew back with this natural color.
“I’ve also had, and I’ll reveal this to you [although] I’ve told other people,” Ricki said. “I’ve had a lower face and neck lift.”
Andy gave Ricki another compliment, to which she replied, “Thank you, I kind of think it’s the best facelift I’ve ever seen,” Lake replied. “And my doctor, let me give a shout out because he’s a genius.”
“Dr. Allen Foulad is the best, and I’ve sent many people to him.”
Andy teased that he was heading for LA next, saying a lot of guests on WWHL had plastic surgery, so he’s seen his fair share.
Ricki pulled her hair back to show no visible scars, explaining why she was okay with sharing. “I love that I can talk about it. I’m fully transparent, always have been,” she said. “I don’t want there to be any stigma. This is something that was bothering me.”
“I lost a lot of weight and had this certain thing hanging and I had it fixed,” Ricki said.
Ricki joins a roster of popular TV personalities who’ve recently shared their plastic surgery and cosmetic journeys. Earlier this month, two of the stars of The Kardashians revealed the surgeon behind their plastic surgery.
Responding to a TikTok, Kylie revealed the exact procedure and doctor (Garth Fisher) who performed her breast augmentation.
When Dr. Fisher took to his Instagram to share his appreciation for Kylie sharing the news, while noting that his practice adheres to HIPAA law and confidentiality for its clients, Kris Jenner responded by sharing her own story.
On June 5, Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran joined in with an extensive list of all her specific surgical and cosmetic procedures and her beauty regimen. In an Instagram captioned, Heard the cool kids were sharing their plastic surgery secrets ➡️,” Barbara shared she had three facelifts, a neck lift, an eye lift, a brow lift, filler, laser work, and more.
I wonder who’ll share next!
