## Key points

- O’Donnell reconsidered her views on facelifts after major weight loss.
- Lake had her facelift in 2024; O’Donnell’s was in January 2026.
- Both discussed excess skin after losing weight.

## Summary

Ricki Lake says her friend Rosie O’Donnell initially questioned why Lake wanted a facelift, but later chose cosmetic surgery herself after losing a significant amount of weight. Their experiences highlight how views on plastic surgery can change, including when weight loss leaves excess skin.

Lake had a deep-plane lower-face and neck lift in 2024 after losing 40 pounds. O’Donnell, 64, underwent a deep-plane lift and neck rejuvenation in January 2026, following a loss of more than 60 pounds with Mounjaro. She has said she wrestled with concerns about feminism and the male gaze before deciding that personal choice over one’s body was part of feminism.
