Denise Richards: New 'Facelift' Sparks Divorce Drama Amidst Abuse Claims

Denise Richards ignited rampant plastic surgery speculation as she stepped out in LA this week - just days after making domestic violence claims against her estranged husband in a court paper

Denise Richards, the stunning actress and former Bond girl, has left us stunned once again! The 54-year-old beauty stepped out in LA this week, flaunting her new temple incisions and what appears to be a recent facelift.

But before we dive into the juicy details of Denise's alleged cosmetic surgery, let's take a step back and recall the drama that unfolded just days prior. You see, Denise had made some shocking claims against her estranged husband Aaron Phypers in court, accusing him of domestic violence and abuse throughout their entire relationship!

The courtroom drama was nothing short of explosive, with Denise alleging that Aaron would frequently choke her, violently squeeze her head, tightly squeeze her arms, and even threaten to break her jaw! She also claimed that he had caused her at least three concussions and had left recording devices to record her while she was alone in hotel rooms and townhouses!

Richards, 54, who has previously admitted to breast implants and Botox, showed off grisly temple incisions on both sides of her face during a low-key outing in Calabasas with daughter Sami Sheen, 21, on Tuesday

But before we get into the nitty-gritty of Denise's allegations against Aaron, let's talk about those temple incisions. According to Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright, a renowned cosmetic surgeon who reviewed the photos on thescholarlynote.com, Denise has likely undergone a recent endoscopic brow lift or temporal facelift!

Dr. Prado-Wright estimates that Denise is "likely between five and eight days post-op," based on the visible incisions and swelling near her hairline and temple area. She also notes that the incisions are well-camouflaged within the hairline, consistent with less invasive lifting techniques focused on the upper third of the face!

Now, back to Denise's allegations against Aaron. In a shocking turn of events, Aaron has denied all claims of abuse, stating that Denise is trying to deflect attention from her alleged affair! Yes, you read that right – Aaron claims that he found texts between Denise and another man on her laptop, including selfies and affectionate messages!

James Bond actress Richards also sported large bruises around her eyes, which appeared lifted

But before we get into the sordid details of Denise's alleged extramarital escapades, let's talk about her domestic violence restraining order. As it turns out, Denise was granted a restraining order against Aaron, citing his alleged abuse throughout their relationship!

So, what does this all mean? Well, for starters, it seems that Denise and Aaron's marriage is on shaky ground at best. And if the allegations are true, it's clear that both parties have some serious 'splainin' to do!

But let's not forget about Denise's alleged plastic surgery! As we mentioned earlier, Dr. Prado-Wright believes that Denise has undergone a recent facelift or brow lift, and we can't help but wonder what other cosmetic secrets she might be hiding!

After all, this isn't the first time Denise has sparked speculation about her appearance. In 2023, fans were left wondering if she had undergone some serious work after appearing to slur her words on an episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

So there you have it – a juicy tale of alleged abuse, infidelity, and plastic surgery! Stay tuned for more updates on this scandalous saga, only on thescholarlynote.com!
