Denise Richards’ plastic surgeon has revealed details of how she underwent a full facelift that transformed the actress’s appearance. On Monday, March 23, in a new interview, renowned Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei said that 55-year-old Richards decided to have the surgery because she felt “she didn’t look like herself anymore.”

According to Inside Edition, Denise’s surgery lasted four and a half hours. Talei specified that he performed a circular face and neck lift, as well as a brow tweak, during which, in his words, he “reconstructed the entire upper third of the celebrity’s face.” He also reshaped Richards’ eyes and lifted the corners of her lips. The surgeon noted that Denise herself was “incredibly pleased” with the results.

She said, “Oh my God, I can see my eyes again. I look like myself again,” Talei recalled.

The surgeon also publicly thanked the actress for her trust.

I am very grateful to Denise for speaking so openly about the procedure. She has been through a lot over the past year and her resilience is amazing.
