Denise Richards is never one to shy away from getting real about her life in and out of the spotlight — including her experience with cosmetic surgery.
“@deniserichards is one of the most lovely and beautiful people to ever walk this earth,” Richards’ doctor, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei of Beverly Hills, wrote in a joint statement with the actress shared via Instagram on Saturday, March 21.
“It was an incredible pleasure and honor to be trusted with her restoration and more importantly, the preservation of her character and beauty,” Dr. Talei continued. “It’s hard to describe in a paragraph the type of surgery or procedures I do because they are so unique in many ways and there isn’t really a standard to compare it to. If you look at every mm from top to bottom of any photo you will see comprehensive improvements.”
The surgeon added, “There are things that the majority of surgeons in the world would gloss over such as the organization of the eyebrow hair or the contour and shape of the forehead. As we age so many little things change like the disarray of the eyebrow hair pattern.”
In the shared Saturday upload, Richards and her physician shared jaw-dropping before-and-after photos of the actress, detailing how she looked pre- and post-surgery. The change was noticeable, with many saying as much in the comments section.
“Absolutely stunning result,” read one comment. “Absolutely amazing,” another wrote. “She is such a beauty — and she’s right back to her Wild Things face.”

Dr. Talei continued to detail the changes he made to Richard’s face.
“If you look at the after photo, you can see how much more organized they look from the three dimensional changes I’m able to make,” he wrote. “If you look at the forehead contours from the side view, you can see how young in the shape looks now. Her stunning, gorgeous eyes were restored rather than changed or just cleaned up. Even her earlobes look better from all views. The sad or tired look around the eyes and mouth have been neutralized and reversed.”
Richards opened up about the procedure in a Friday, March 20, interview with Allure.
“I wanted to put things back up, where they were before,” Richards told the publication, adding that she “was terrified” of the procedure despite having breast augmentation at 19 and a subsequent revision surgery for her implants.
“Being in the public eye since my 20s, people know what I look like — a facelift is not something that I could hide.”
Dr. Talei thanked his patient for being willing to share her experience with the public.
“I’m so grateful to Denise for being so open about the procedure,” he wrote on Saturday. “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.”
