She also chatted with Allure about the work, saying, “Being in the public eye since my 20s, people know what I look like—a facelift is not something that I could hide.”
Denise shared the piece in her Instagram Story and said the procedure was the “best thing” she could have done for herself.
Speaking to the magazine, Dr. Talei shared more insight into the cosmetic work, revealing he performed “a very minor and conservative upper blepharoplasty,” and a temporal brow lift “to correct the brow position.” He also repositioned “the forehead and temples back to where they used to be.”
The Wild Things actress shared some advice with other people considering getting work done.
“It’s very important to see before-and-afters from the doctor and understand your goals and what’s realistic, with whatever the surgeon is advising. And then, I think, once you make the decision—and it’s a big one—just do it. But it is surgery. My biggest advice is that—no matter what kind of plastic surgery anyone gets—you have to have that time to recover,” she said.
Earlier this year, Denise opened up about her challenging 2025 and why she’s finally starting to feel like herself again.
