“I had a facelift at the end of June, so this was my first red carpet since my facelift,” she said. “My face was still setting in here. I really wanted a natural look, because I didn’t want to put too much on my face.”
While the visible results were clearly significant, it was an unexpected change that she keeps coming back 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 wasn’t expecting,” she said.
The recovery also turned out to be much less daunting than what had been prepared for.
“The recovery was a lot better than I thought. There’s no way I would have thought before doing it that I would be able to go on a red carpet.”
Richards has been open about her history with cosmetic procedures for years. She has talked about getting breast implants at age 19 and then returning to cosmetic work in the past.
Despite that experience, she said facial surgery felt completely different.
“Being in the public eye since I was 20, people know what I look like, a facelift is not something I can hide,” she said, describing the decision as “scary.”
