Rachael Ray is known as much for her girl-next-door looks and perpetually upbeat attitude as her culinary skills. Although she recently paid a visit to the surgeon’s office, Ray has blasted past plastic surgery rumors. Still, she may not be averse to going under the knife.
Considering she stars on several television shows and even has her own magazine, it might be easy to lump Rachael Ray in with the countless actresses and starlets who depend on a regular regimen of plastic surgery to stay prettier than the rest of us. But, although the popular talk show host and pint-sized media mogul recently had a cyst removed from her vocal cords, she’s not one to go under the knife for vanity’s sake.
“It’s fine, it’s just a little bump,” Ray commented about her pending surgery during a charity event last November. “I need to get rid of it, though.”
Previous time away from the camera led some to speculate whether Ray was secretly getting a brow lift — rumors that had the talk show dynamo rolling her eyes.
“If I were to have the week off, you think I’d spend it under the knife?” she told Extra in early 2008. “If was going to cut something off, don’t you think it’d be my butt, not my forehead?”
Her comments have lead some to believe the “culinary cutie” is not entirely averse to cosmetic surgery. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, a fixture in the celebrity cosmetic surgery world, has been a frequent guest on The Rachael Ray Show. In a recent segment, Dr. Youn discussed new approaches to facial rejuvenation.
“Plastic surgery now looks at aging as more of a three-dimensional process,” he said. “Our face actually deflates.” He went on to explain how doctors can restore volume to the skin on the face through fat grafting, a procedure in which fat is removed from one part of the patient’s body and injected it into the face.
“So you can take my butt and fill in my eyes?” Rachael asked. “Good to know it’s good for something — I want to redistribute some of that!”
And so, although Ray claims she hasn’t yet made a trip to the plastic surgeon’s office, she may not be entirely averse to the idea — as long as he addressed the bottom line.

Feb 10th Rachael had a man giving a facial to a lady in the audience. The pasty cream mask was green and he had to wait 15 min. then apply another green cream and it looked like he had a device in his hand. It gives a lift to your face and can last a year. It cost $1,000 . What is that. I want to do it.
