Ricki Lake, 56, reveals how long ago she REALLY had her facelift after going public with procedure
Ricki Lake celebrated the one-year anniversary of her facelift on Instagram this week, after going public with the procedure last month. The 56-year-old talk-show icon has embarked on a long process of revamping her appearance, slimming down and arriving at her 130lb goal by January. However the process of losing weight left her with 'extra skin that hung from below my chin,' so in July 2024 she went under the knife to have it tightened. She openly discussed the procedure for the first time on TV this June, saying she was 'fully transparent' and did not 'want there to be any stigma.' Now she has fired up her Instagram to share a suite of photos documenting the process, including a side-by-side before-and-after comparison. 'One year ago today I did a thing,' she wrote Friday. 'Yes, today July 18th, is the one year anniversary of my deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild co2 laser.' She showered praise on her Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Allen Foulad, saying she 'was in the best of hands' and calling him 'a true master in his field.' Ricki revealed: 'After a dear friend had the most incredible experience with Dr, Foulad, I made the decision to follow in her footsteps.' The Hairspray actress explained the thinking that led to the surgery, saying: 'I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin. It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55.' She assured fans: 'Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life.' Ricky declared: 'This procedure was the icing on the cake. 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.' The accompanying Instagram album offered a deep dive into the story behind Ricki's facelift, with photos showing her first consultation with the plastic surgeon, the 'the area I disliked,' some post-op 'bruising and swelling.' One of the photos showed her sitting in bed with her head bandaged, cuddling up to her 'sweet' third husband, lawyer Ross Burningham. 'He was so nervous yet so supportive,' gushed Ricki, who celebrated her third wedding anniversary with Ross this January. Ricki first announced her facelift 11 months after it occurred, during an appearance on Watch What Happens: Live! with host Andy Cohen. Name-checking her surgeon, she explained that the skin that had been 'hanging' from her neck after her weight loss had been 'bothering me,' so she 'had it fixed.' Andy, who lives in New York, rhapsodized that he was 'going to LA' for Ricki's procedure, adding: 'I've seen a lot of work in these chairs. That's really good.' Ricki embarked on her weight loss transformation amid the Ozempic craze sweeping Hollywood, but insisted she herself did not use the diabetes medication. 'I did not go on any drug because I wasn't prediabetic,' she told Us Weekly. 'There's nothing wrong with those drugs. They're actually game changers for so many people. But for me, I did not want to be reliant on a drug if I could help it.' Instead, Ricki maintained that her means of slimming down included intermittent fasting and the fashionable keto diet, combined with an exercise regimen that featured Pilates and two-mile hikes with a weighted vest everyday. She also wore a glucose monitor, as well as a device called an Oura ring that monitors a battery of biometrics like sleep, movement and stress. 'I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle. And it worked. It continues to work,' said Ricki, who once weighed as much as 260lbs.

Olivia Attwood meets 29-year-old woman whose bum implants 'fell out' while doing a squat at the gym, forcing her to spend £63,000 on corrective procedures
A woman has opened up on the horrors of her bum implants surgery that led her to spend £63,000 on corrective procedures. Chelsea Robinson Harrison, 29, from London, who has spent between £103,000 and £105,000 in total on plastic surgery, settled on a trip to the Dominican Republic in 2019 to increase the appearance of her backside. The self-described businesswoman, model, and mother said she decided to have the surgery abroad because she had heard that doctors in the Caribbean country are particularly skilled in the procedure. However, after going under the knife and returning home, Chelsea found quite the opposite when a gym workout caused her bum implants to 'come out'. Talking in ITV 's Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, Chelsea said, 'Six years ago, I went to the Dominican Republic because I heard that they were the best at doing bum implants. 'But then, when I got back from there, I went to the gym. I was squatting in the gym, and I felt something. My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging. Chelsea explained that her implant had come out from under her muscle, adding that the experience was 'horrendous'. She added, 'If I knew all the ins and outs, I would have never got the bum implants because that was the worst, absolute worst journey I've ever been through, and it wasn't worth it.' Chelsea spent £63,000 on corrective procedures to fix the issue caused in the Dominican Republic. While the procedure might have put Chelsea off of bum implant surgery, she's by no means been deterred from undergoing other procedures. In the latest episode of her docuseries, Olivia Attwood joined Chelsea as she underwent her fourth boob job for just shy of £8,000. Recalling her journey into plastic surgery, Chelsea said, 'I was quite eager, and as soon as I turned 18, I was booked straight away to get my boobs done.' When looking at old photographs of herself before receiving breast implants, Chelsea said, 'I look so ugly there. There's just no definition anywhere, there's no boobs, there's no bum.' Chelsea's career as a glamour model led her to compare herself to others in the industry, which made her feel her chest wasn't as big enough to compete with her colleagues. 'I kind of fell into lingerie modelling, but I felt like I wasn't competing with the other glamour models that I was seeing. I had no boobs, I had like an A-cup, so I wanted to look like everyone else.' She soon went on to have two additional breast implants before her most recent one, in a bid to get a 'fuller' and 'bigger' result. Chelsea said, 'All in all, I've definitely spent over £100,000, probably between £103,000 to £105,000, it's been eleven years, and a pricey eleven years.' Her latest procedure, costing near £8,000, saw her receive two breast implants weighing almost 1kg each. 'It's a lot if you think about carrying two of those around,' Olivia said while Chelsea went under the knife. The implants are the largest available at the London-based clinic that Chelsea visited, and the doctor added that people with the implant size can use a walking stick to help bear the weight. Chelsea concluded, 'There's always something else you need, you want, or something that could make you look better. It's almost like adrenaline, and I feel like that's what you're chasing as well.' Elsewhere in the episode, Olivia gasped in shock as a woman who spent £250,000 on plastic surgery revealed what she looked like before her extreme human Barbie transformation. The woman, called Olivia, now has large lips and breasts - a striking look alongside her incredibly long platinum blonde hair and Barbie pink outfit with long nails and large hoop earrings. Olivia looked through a scrapbook of old photos of Alicia, who pointed out some snaps of her taken when she was around 18 years old, in 2016. Alicia's look from nearly ten years ago, before all the procedures, is completely unrecognisable compared to how she looks now. Though her hair was still the same bright blonde shade, she was seen in the pictures wearing much more lowkey clothes than her habitual all-pink look now. Alicia laughed nervously while Olivia gasps, 'Oh. My. God.' The host asked: 'Do you think this girl had any idea how your life would be and how you'd look?' Alicia replies: 'No! To people who really knew me back then, knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock because I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual and stuff like that. I just needed to find my niche, you know?' As Olivia flicked through more pages of the scrapbook, Alicia pointed out more images at various stages of her transformation. Some of the procedures Alicia has undergone include breast implants, lip filler and a rhinoplasty. Olivia asked if Alicia has ever gone without other things in her life, so as to be able to spend more money on surgery. 'There's never been anything I didn't do just because I had my plastic surgery', she replies. 'I choose my health and my looks over everything so I spend a lot of money on the stuff I put into my body such as food and that kind of thing.' She added, 'And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products.' The presenter asked if she thinks she will ever wake up and want to look how she used to - and Alicia was certain about her answer: 'No, this is so much fun! I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change.' Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection is available to stream on ITVX.

Aubrey O'Day reverses her plastic surgery after being 'disgusted' by old photos
Aubrey O'Day is diving headfirst into the Kardashian-led era of plastic surgery transparency. With Kris Jenner casually name-dropping her facelift surgeon, Kylie Jenner admitting to a secret boob job, and Khloé Kardashian listing off her tweaks in a viral clapback, the 41-year-old Danity Kane alum is following suit—getting candid about her own cosmetic journey. And even the ones she's walked back. The 41-year-old singer—who recently shared that ex Donald Trump Jr. once made her feel beautiful —opened up in a Thursday interview about scaling back her look and why she chose to reverse some of the work she's had done over the years. 'I got lip fillers that were invading my face and I thought they looked good until they took them away and I got to see that I was trippin,' she told ET with a smile. She went on, 'I'm so happy those lips are off my face cause when I see photos with the lip injections, I'm disgusted.' 'I thought I was killing it… and I was not ever killing it with those big, giant… when people would say "duck lips," I'd be like, "They're just jealous," … oh no, they were trying to tell me.' She continued, 'Some people aren't haters, some people are really trying to guide you better. And I was looking in the mirror, and I thought it looked good.' 'I was just keeping up with the Joneses and it was just taking over my face. I didn't even look young,' O'Day stressed. 'You can really look much younger if you get rid of that stuff.' O'Day said she began learning more about the realities of cosmetic procedures after appearing on E!'s Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, where she started dialing things back and undoing work she no longer felt served her. But she hasn't sworn off surgery altogether. Concerned about sagging breasts, the singer opted for a breast lift in January—and couldn't be happier with the outcome. 'Now these things are just sitting. No bra, no tape, no nothing. They're just up. They're back like my 21-year-old titties, and I love it,' she said. 'I was just keeping up with the Joneses and it was just taking over my face. I didn't even look young,' O'Day stressed in the interview; (L on July 16, R in 2019) 'So I would tell everybody that surgery was great, I'll tell you the surgeon. They look amazing. Very, very minimal scars,' she continued. 'I'm so happy that my boobs are finally back where they deserve to be after all the work I've done in my life.' O'Day said the experience on the show taught her a lot—both about herself and what she was capable of handling. 'I learned so much,' she added, noting that she also formed 'real' lifelong friendships during her time filming the show.

EXCLUSIVE Kylie Jenner's hidden surgery exposed as plastic surgeon says scar reveals more than just a boob job
Kylie Jenner is no stranger to plunging necklines and barely-there outfits. But a recent bikini-clad photo from her vacation in Saint-Tropez this month has drawn attention for a different reason, the snap revealed a prominent scar under her right breast. The 27-year-old makeup mogul has previously admitted to undergoing breast augmentation at age 19, revealing she had grapefruit-sized implants inserted in the summer of 2016. Now, a leading plastic surgeon believes the scar may point to an additional, and previously undisclosed, procedure. Dr Sam Fuller, a plastic surgeon in Indiana, told that she likely also had a mastopexy, or breast lift, to help her achieve her fuller chest. The surgeon, who does several breast procedures a week, said: 'This scar is not typical of just a breast augmentation surgery. 'Typically, a very small one to two-inch incision is made at the center point of the crease in the breast in this procedure. 'But the fact there appears to be a scar extending along the breast is more consistent with a mastopexy, or lift procedure.' Breast lifts are typically carried out at the same time as breast augmentations to reposition tissue over implants and make breasts appear fuller and perkier. But some may also opt for them at a later date to raise breasts and tighten any drooping or sagging skin, including any caused by implants. Dr Fuller did not examine Jenner in person, but based his comments on photos of the celebrity's scar that appeared under her breasts at the Saint Tropez beach and at an event in Rome, Italy, in May this year. contacted representatives of the star before publication, but they did not return our request for comment. He said it was possible that she had her breast lift at the same time as her breast augmentation, which would be 'very normal in practices'. But added that in his view the scars appeared more fresh, which he said suggested she had the procedure within the last two years. 'I would say that she likely had this surgery at least six to eight months ago, and probably within the last two years,' he said. 'In the first three to six months, the scars from this surgery are pink, red and purple, but over time these will fade, and her scars do have a faded appearance. 'There is some thickening though, I believe, which makes it seem like this was within at least the last year or two.' In a breast lift, surgeons make incisions around the nipple and along the breast crease before removing any excess skin and lifting and tightening the breasts. The incision is made in the crease under the breasts to obscure the scar. It can be six inches long, but surgeons say more significant lifts require longer incisions. Jenner confirmed on an episode of the Kardashians in 2023 that she had received a breast augmentation at 19, but said that she regretted the decision. 'I had beautiful breasts, like natural t**s, just gorgeous, like perfect size, perfect everything, and I just wished, obviously, I never got them done to begin with,' she said. 'I would recommend anyone who was thinking about it to wait until after you have children. 'But yeah, obviously I have a daughter too. I would be heartbroken if she wanted to get her body done at 19.' She had the surgery shortly before she was pregnant with her first child Stormi, who is now seven years old, which she said raised concerns. And last month, she revealed to a fan the size of the implants she used, saying in response to a TikTok video: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone! [Dr] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!' The figure 445cc refers to 445 cubic centimeters, equivalent to 445 milliliters or a little under two US cups, about equivalent to a large grapefruit or medium-to-large mango. Before revealing the implants, she said her breasts were down to a padded bra, periods and weight gain. Dr Fuller said her comments had had a major effect on his own practice, revealing that many women would now ask for a 445cc implant. But added that everyone's breasts were different, and that many would find another size of implant would work best with their appearance. The FDA has approved silicone breast implants for those aged 22 years and over, but doctors may still implant these off-label. Dr Fuller said he does get a number of women requesting implants from the age of 19 years, and says in these cases they are asked to come to repeat appointments to ensure they actually want the implants, rather than it being a passing phase. About 300,000 breast augmentation surgeries are carried out in the US every year, making it one of the most popular procedures nationwide, with numbers still rising. About 143,000 breast lifts are also carried out every 12 months.

Woman spends £250k to become Barbie – now her ‘before' photos are shocking the internet
A WOMAN who forked out a whopping £250,000 on plastic surgery has left people stunned after revealing what she used to look like. Appearing on the latest episode of former Love Island star Olivia Attwood 's ITV documentary series Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, the woman revealed why she chose to change her looks so drastically. 5 5 5 Over the course of the six episodes, the Loose Woman panellist met with various experts and patients to get a closing look at the world of cosmetic surgery. But it was when Olivia met Alicia towards the end of the latest episode that people were left stunned. Alicia's £250,000 left her looking completely unrecognisable, with large lips, breasts and long platinum blonde hair to complete the look. The surgery fan even donned a pink outfit and accessories in a bid to look more like Barbie. At one point in the episode, Olivia was taken aback by a scrapbook full of old pictures of Alicia. Inside were pictures of Alicia taken when she was around 18-years-old, in 2016, but the girl looked nothing like the Alicia standing next to Olivia. Despite having the same blonde hair, the surgery fan looked much more natural, sporting a casual outfit and nothing too attention grabbing. Olivia gasped at the before pictures: "Oh. My. God." Then, speaking about if she knew her look would change so drastically, Alicia confessed: "To people who really knew me back then, knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock because I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual and stuff like that." In complete shock, Olivia continued to flip through the pictures, pinpointing different stages of Alicia's cosmetic journey, from breast implants, to a rhinoplasty. Olivia Attwood admits it was HER who warned Ella Rae Wise about ex Chris Hughes as she breaks silence But despite what some might assume, Alicia said her surgery has never stopped her from doing anything. "I choose my health and my looks over everything so I spend a lot of money on the stuff I put into my body such as food and that kind of thing. "And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products," she explained. The surgery lover also revealed that she'd never want to go back to her old self, even as she gets older. "I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change," she said. 5 5 What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS
