Denise Richards, 55, showed her before-and-after photos alongside Dr. Ben Talei, the Beverly Hills surgeon who gave her a full facelift. She described it as “night and day”, a change that left even her stunned.

The doctor insists that he did not alter her features, only restored them. But social media cannot agree: some call it impeccable and natural work, while others say it is a face that no longer looks like the one it used to be.

Her own daughters showed reluctance about the decision. Is restoring the face different from altering it, or is it the same thing by another name?
