Denise Richards and her surgeon Dr. Ben Talei shared before-and-after photos of her facelift on Instagram. The 55-year-old actress underwent the procedure eight months ago amid personal challenges. She opened up to Allure about why she chose not to hide the work.
Darlings, Denise Richards is serving fresh face realness! 💅 The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 55, went under the knife eight months ago with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei. On Saturday, March 21, they dropped side-by-side photos on Instagram, showing her rejuvenated glow. Eyes emoji because the transformation is chef's kiss. 👀 Dr. Talei gushed, calling her 'one of the most lovely and beautiful people to ever walk this earth' and noting he's 'honored to provide a little assistance.' He detailed the work: 'a very minor and conservative upper blepharoplasty,' a temporal brow lift 'to correct the brow position,' and repositioning 'the forehead and temples back to where they used to be.' Denise told Allure, 'Being in the public eye since my 20s, people know what I look like—a facelift is not something that I could hide.' She reposted the article in her Story, dubbing it the 'best thing' she could have done for herself. Talei added a heartfelt nod: 'She’s been through so much this past year and her resilience is just astounding. She has a golden heart and her golden face is hers again.' Spill the tea: this comes after her estranged hubby Aaron Phypers filed for divorce last summer. Denise accused him of abuse (which he denied), and he claimed she cheated. Post-split, she got a breast procedure too, teasing bikini season reveals. Her advice? 'See before-and-afters... understand your goals... have that time to recover.' New chapter, new look—jaws on the floor, indeed! Is this the glow-up we all need after a messy 2025? 🔥
