Denise Richards has spoken candidly about her recent facelift, revealing the most surprising result wasn’t what she could see in the mirror, but what she could feel.
In an interview with Seduce Richards described undergoing the procedure in late June 2025 and subsequently making her first public appearance at the premiere of the Netflix documentary by aka Charlie Sheen on September 4.
“I had a facelift at the end of June, so it was my first red carpet since my facelift,” she said. “My face was still settling in here. I really wanted a natural look, because I didn’t want to put too much on my face.”
Although the visible results were clearly significant, it was an unexpected change that she keeps returning to.
“I love my skin after my facelift. I don’t know what it did, but it changed the texture of my skin, which I didn’t expect,” she said.
Recovery also turned out to be much less daunting than she had prepared for.
“The recovery has been much better than I thought. Before I did it, I never thought I would be able to walk on a red carpet.”
Richards has been open about her history with cosmetic procedures for years. She spoke about getting breast implants at age 19 and later revisiting cosmetic work in the past.
Despite this experience, she said facial surgery was completely different.
“Being in the public eye since my 20s, people know what I look like, a facelift is not something I can hide,” she said, calling the decision “terrifying.”
