Hollywood actress Denise Richards has gone viral on social media after reports of her undergoing a face lift. Not only did the actress share before and after photos of her face, but she also shared her pre- and post-surgery recovery journey with photos of the swelling, drainage, and her finally restored look. In a joint post with her surgeon, Richards revealed that the before and after pictures were taken eight months after her facelift, making it easy to see her amazing transformation. The procedure was performed by Dr. Ben Talei, who has also worked with several high-profile clients, including Australian singer Sia. Speaking to Allure, “I wanted to put things where they were before.”Richards detailed how breast implant surgery led her to meet the surgeon and, given her previous work, decided to undergo a facelift. “My face was in his hands,” she said, adding, “So I told Dr. Ben, ‘I know I’m in good hands. Do your thing.'”
Before and after photos of Denise Richards go viral
In a detailed Instagram post, Talei praised Richards both personally and professionally, writing: “@deniserichards is absolutely amazing. Official pics to come next, but these show how much better they look without filters and filming.”
The post read: “@deniserichards is one of the most beautiful people to ever walk this earth. It was an incredible pleasure and honor to restore her and more importantly preserve her character and beauty. It’s hard to describe in a paragraph the type of surgery or procedure I do because they are so unique in so many ways and really compare.”
Surgeon shares list of work done on Denise Richards’ face
Detailing the procedures he performed on his face, Talei explained: “If you look at every mm from top to bottom of any photo you will see comprehensive improvements. Most surgeons in the world would overlook some things, such as the arrangement of the eyebrow hair or the shape and contour of the forehead. As we age, so many small things change like the pattern of the hair,” he wrote of the eyebrow disorder.He added: “If you look at the next photo, you can see how much more organized they look from the three-dimensional changes I can make. If you look at the contour of the forehead from the side view, you can see how youthful the shape is now.”In her interview, Richards kept it real and admitted that the procedure came with headaches, pain and swelling. “I will say, the forehead lift is the most painful because the incisions are here [above your hairline]”, she told the magazine, adding that she had numbness in her ears. “It’s common to have some numbness around the ears for three months after a facelift, and sometimes it takes about a year for the area to completely return.”

In her post, Talei highlighted improvements to the actress’s eyes, mouth and neck, stating, “Her beautiful, gorgeous eyes were restored, rather than changed or washed out. Even her earlobes look better from every angle. The dull or tired look around her eyes and mouth has been neutralized and reversed. PHAT Skin technique.”He also explained: “You can see that the line between her eyebrows has also relaxed. If you look at the smiling photos, you will see that despite the restoration of the volume of the face, the smile does not look worse. This is the result of muscle modulation and SMAS optimization within the AuraLyft type of deep plane lift”.She ended her message by praising Richards for her openness in sharing her story. “I am so grateful to Denise for being so open about the procedure. She has been through so much in the last year and her resilience is amazing. She has a heart of gold and her golden face is hers again,” he concluded.Before Richards, actress Kathy Griffin also revealed that she had a facelift.
