Actress Ricki Lake, who had a facelift after losing 40 pounds, recalled her decision to have the procedure after consulting her doctor, Dr. Alan Fouad, who she met through a friend who was instrumental in recommending the procedure. Lake credits her transformation and expressed her love for her results. She also mentioned that her doctor was "a master" at his craft and that she felt "on top of the world" eight days after her surgery. Despite her age-definitely, Lake admitted that her procedures were not done to disguise her appearance. She credits her experience to being able to talk about it and said she loves to be transparent about her experiences.
