Denise Richards’ plastic surgeon is breaking down all the things he did for the actress during her recent facelift following her before-and-after reveal.
Beverly Hills surgeon Dr. Ben Talei told Inside Edition in a preview from his Monday, March 23, interview that Richards, 55, is “incredibly completely happy” together with her facelift.
He revealed that the previous Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told him, “I appear like myself again” after going under the knife.
Talei explained that to get Richards’ tighter overall look he performed a “face and neck lift,” along with “a temporal brow restoration, where I actually reset the upper third of the face, which comes down, back into its place.”
The plastic surgeon told the outlet that he also “recontoured the eyes” and did a “cupid corner lift, where we put an incision on the side of the mouth to assist neutralize it, and make the side of the mouth look sexier and younger again.”
He added that it took 4 and a half hours to finish Richards’ facelift surgery.
“[Denise] felt like her face just didn’t appear like her anymore,” Talei explained of the rationale behind Richards’ transformation. “She’s got the energy of a 12-year-old — she felt like her look didn’t match the way in which she feels anymore.”

Talei’s breakdown of Richards’ procedure got here two days after he and the actress made a joint post about her surgery, sharing dramatic before and after pictures of the actress from every angle.
The doctor called Richards “one of the crucial lovely and exquisite people to ever walk this earth,” via the Saturday, March 21, Instagram post. “It was an incredible pleasure and honor to be trusted together with her restoration and more importantly, the preservation of her character and sweetness.”
Talei explained that Richards “stunning, gorgeous eyes were restored slightly than modified or simply cleaned up” due to “so many little” adjustments that the “majority of surgeons on the earth would gloss over.”
Sami Sheen defended taking to social media to list the cosmetic surgery procedures she’s undergone. Sami, 21, shared a before-and-after photo collage via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, October 7, in addition to the caption, “7 12 months difference … thank God for hair extensions, lip filler, boob job, nose job, veneers & kiss 2 on […]
“Even her earlobes look higher from all views. The sad or drained go searching the eyes and mouth have been neutralized and reversed,” he noted. “Her neck and upper chest are glowing now with the sort of lift that I do combined with the PHAT Skin™️technique.”
The surgeon added that he used various techniques, including “muscle modulation and SMAS optimization” to higher lift Richards’ face.
“We are literally capable of improve facial character while restoring the smile to be cleaner and more relaxed,” Talei continued. “I’m so grateful to Denise for being so open concerning the procedure. She’s been through a lot this past 12 months and her resilience is just astounding. She has a golden heart and her golden face is hers again.”
Richards confirmed her joy over the outcomes by replying within the comments section, “@drbentalei I’m eternally so grateful thanks … and deeply humbled by your unbelievably kind words. 🙏✨💛.”
