Kelly Ripa has a shocking confession to make to the world. She revealed that she had undergone microneedle surgery on her buttocks to maintain the beauty standards that she had set in Hollywood.
This surgery was nothing new, as she had undergone similar anti-aging procedures in the past. However, her recent beauty enhancement surgery was a “desperate” measure that she had to take to keep herself in the limelight.
Kelly Ripa’s ‘Desperate’ Beauty Confession
In the most recent episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, she talked about her procedure with her show’s guest, Lukas Gage. During the show, he was discussing an incident after a microneedle surgery, she asked, “Oh, wait, you got microneedling?” She continued that she had undergone the same surgery on her a** cheeks to appear younger.

However, the procedure did not work as she had intended. When the Euphoria actor jokingly asked, “How does it look?” She laughed and gave a brutally honest answer, saying, “Just as old as before.” She added, “Desperate times call for desperate measures.”
Interestingly, this is not the first time she has taken such measures to enhance her beauty, as she is quite verbal about her anti-aging treatments. In a separate report from InStyle, she talked about undergoing a Botex injection in her armpits to prevent her from sweating.
She said, “One day I said, ‘Do you think I should put Botox in my face?’ And [her doctor] looked at me and he goes, ‘I thought this day would never come.’ And I was like ‘Oh my, I needed Botox.'” Ripa insisted that there’s a “sweet spot,” and if the medical expert is careful, they would not overdo it.
She called herself a minimalist, adding, “I do the crow’s feet, and I do the neck, and that’s it,” stating that she does it three times a year.
Kelly Ripa Constantly Rethinks About Getting One Surgery
During an episode of the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast, she shared about the numerous consultations she has had for a b***** enhancement surgery. Ripa said, “We know that I'm flat-chested. It's not a mystery at this point. It's almost a point of pride.”
Additionally, nursing her children has caused her n****** to “hang lower.” She continued that every time she visits a consultant to discuss her surgery, she shares that they will do all the right things. However, their smartphones would listen to their conversations, and while scrolling through her phone, she would come up on “the horror stories of b*** jobs.” She stated the mishaps are enough to convince her right out of it.
