Kelly Ripa reveals sexy cosmetic procedure that failed spectacularly: ‘Desperate times call for desperate measures’

by

Kelly Ripa has discussed one of her failed cosmetic procedures.

On Wednesday’s episode of her podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, Drew Barrymore revealed to guest Lukas Gage that she had undergone a microneedling procedure in a private area.

Ripa revealed the work was done on her ‘ass cheeks’ to make her butt appear younger and perkier.

She explained the treatment didn’t work, as she felt her rear still looked the same. The morning show host then playfully suggested that when you’re really determined, you’ll try anything.

The 55-year-old celebrity has publicly discussed having cosmetic procedures. She recently revealed in February that she received Botox injections in her underarms.

And the former soap opera actress has also said she might get a facelift in the future. 

Kelly Ripa has considered getting breast implants, but isn’t entirely convinced it’s the right choice. She revealed in a 2025 appearance on the ‘Not Skinny But Not Fat’ podcast that she had consulted with surgeons about the possibility.

She acknowledged that she doesn’t have a large bust, saying it’s well-known and she’s actually become quite comfortable with it.

Whenever I see something about breast augmentation, I immediately look into getting a consultation. They always seem to say and do everything they’re supposed to, but then, because our phones track what we talk about, I start seeing all these scary stories about breast augmentation procedures online. It’s unsettling.

‘It, like, talks me right out of it,’ she added.

In 2018 she said she had no work done.

Let me be clear: I’ve never had plastic surgery on my nose, and my teeth aren’t covered with veneers. If I did, I’d be wearing a retainer to bed every night. It’s comments like these that really make a girl feel good.

This followed a joke she made about using a ‘chastity belt’ to avoid intimacy with her husband, Mark Consuelos, at night.

As soon as the talk show host puts in her retainer, Mark, 55, realizes any chance of intimacy that night is off the table.

While discussing koala mating habits on Live with Kelly and Mark, the host jokingly described the encounter as the male koala introducing himself to the female, saying something like, ‘Hi, I’m Mr. Koala, nice to meet you, Ms. Koala.’

‘Sometimes they’re not interested. Instead of being heartbroken, they go back to sleep.’

Kelly quipped that it reminded her of Mark, and she pretended to roll over and put her retainer in.

She then joked: ‘He hears the retainer pop in, it’s like a chastity belt.’

Mark added: ‘When you put it in, it’s like, click, click, click. Alright, guess I’m going to bed.’

I’ve always loved how he described his bedtime routine! He joked that he goes to bed with a eucalyptus leaf and playfully asks it if it wants to ‘fool around,’ and when it doesn’t respond, he just accepts it. It’s such a funny, endearing little story that really shows his personality.

Ripa and her co-host have talked about having sex in the morning on their show before, and Ripa has said she doesn’t enjoy it.

Mark Consuelos recently joked that working on their show has been a good distraction from getting intimate in the mornings.

He said: ‘I’ve got to tell you, this job has really gotten in the way of that.’

She had previously shared that she prefers to have sex only at night, explaining that they both feel too unpleasant in the mornings.

In an interview last July on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, she explained a conversation she had with someone. She told him, ‘We need to find a balance. It can’t always be what you want. It often feels like you get your way 90% of the time, and now that we’re working together daily, things need to be my way sometimes – but only at night.’

I’ve got my retainer in, and I need to take it out. He’s wearing nasal strips too. We just look awful.

‘I’m already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.’
