Overview
- Richards says she underwent a full facelift about eight months ago with Beverly Hills surgeon Dr. Ben Talei.
- Allure published surgeon-provided pre-op images and Richards’ unfiltered recovery selfies, starting two days after surgery.
- She describes being terrified to have facial surgery but calls the results “night and day” and says it restored her confidence.
- Her disclosure comes as a Los Angeles judge ordered her to pay $5,000 a month in temporary spousal support and $30,000 toward Phypers’ legal fees, while he faces felony charges he denies.
- Richards alleges Phypers revealed the operation to the press, labeled it botched, and arranged for a photographer outside a scar-care appointment.
