What Procedures She Had
Across multiple interviews and reports, Richards detailed the following cosmetic surgeries:
Major Surgical Procedures
Full facelift (performed by Dr. Ben Talei)
Temporal brow lift (described as the most painful part)
Upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty)
Lip lift (outer corners of the mouth)
Fat grafting to restore facial volume
Minor Cosmetic Work Before the Facelift
Some fillers (she later said fillers made her feel less confident)
Additional Past Surgeries
Breast augmentation at age 19, with later revision surgeries
Why She Chose Extensive Surgery
Richards initially planned only a neck lift but was advised by a friend and her surgeon to pursue a full facelift for balanced results. She compared it to “remodeling one room in a house” and wanting the entire look to match.
She described the recovery as extremely painful, especially the brow lift incisions, and noted temporary numbness under her chin and around her ears. Despite this, she called the facelift “the best thing I did for myself.”
Richards says the surgery dramatically changed her face, making her look significantly younger and restoring features to how they appeared earlier in her career. This reflects her broader plastic surgery journey and her decision to be transparent about it.
