Denise Richards’ Doctor Shares Photos Before and After Facelift

Denise Richards gave her confidence a lift … by doing the same to her face!

Dr. Ben Talei — a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon — and Richards shared her facelift results to Instagram Saturday morning … with Talei writing that he was honored to provide a little assistance to “one of the most lovely and beautiful people to ever walk this earth.”

Dr. Talei then goes into the specific procedures Richards underwent … but the pics really say it all — because she looks rejuvenated after visiting the good doctor.

Worth noting … Talei mentions he’s thankful Denise opened up about her treatments — before adding, “She’s been through so much this past year and her resilience is just astounding. She has a golden heart and her golden face is hers again.”

While he doesn’t get more specific than that … we’ve told you all about Denise’s relationship troubles — beginning when her estranged husband Aaron Phypers filed for divorce last summer.

Denise accused Aaron of abusing her … claims he feverently denied. He also accused her of cheating on him.

Denise got a few other cosmetic procedures done in the immediate aftermath of her split … including getting a breast procedure she says she’s excited to show off this bikini season.
