Denise Richards' Ex Leaked Her Facelift Details

Actress Denise Richards has revealed intimate details about her recent facial surgery, a decision that stemmed from a friend's suggestion to undergo a full facial procedure rather than just neck work. Initially hesitant and scared due to prior negative experiences with Botox and fillers, Richards ultimately entrusted her doctor with a comprehensive treatment plan.

The procedures performed included a facelift, temporal brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, lip lift, and fat grafting. Richards described the brow lift as 'no joke' but ultimately felt it was a beneficial step for herself, despite experiencing lingering numbness. This extensive work contrasts with her earlier cosmetic surgeries, such as breast augmentation at age 19.

Adding a layer of controversy, Richards stated that her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, was responsible for leaking information about her surgeries. She recounted instances where he disclosed her procedures and even suggested they were 'botched,' which she found preposterous. The leak occurred during their divorce proceedings, with Phypers allegedly tipping off paparazzi.

Richards had previously shared before-and-after photos of her facelift in March 2026, collaborating with her doctor. The 55-year-old actress discussed the surgery on Bunnie Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast in August 2026, detailing the friend's advice and her initial fears.
