Richards revealed her decision to undergo a facelift last year, admitting she was 'terrified' to go under the knife, in an interview with Allure published on Friday.
In addition to her facelift, Dr. Talei also performed a temporal brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, lip lift and fat grafting on Richards's face.
The star also confessed that she underwent a reparative breast surgery, just three weeks before her facelift was performed.
Richards's recovery time occurred less than two weeks before her bitter divorce battle with estranged husband Aaron Phypers commenced in July 2025.
'I started going through my divorce 10 days after I had surgery,' she revealed.
The former Playboy model also claimed that it was her ex who 'leaked' the news of her surgeries before she was ready to talk about it publicly.
'Going through my divorce, my ex disclosed that I'd had a facelift,' she claimed. 'He had a photographer show up outside an appointment where I had some micro-needling on my scars.'

Richards continued: 'So he told someone that I had a facelift and said it was botched, which is really ridiculous. You know, I went back and forth about whether I was going to say anything about my facelift — um, he kind of let the cat out of the bag.'
After their split last summer, she accused Phypers of abuse, allegations he has vehemently denied.
Their divorce proceedings are still ongoing.
In their latest court hearing related to their separation, Richards was ordered to pay her estranged husband $5,000 per month in temporary spousal support.
Phypers is also facing four felony counts - two felony counts of injuring a spouse and two felony counts of dissuading a witness by force or threat - from alleged domestic violence incidents in 2022.
In late 2025, Richards was granted a five-year restraining order against Phypers.
