“I was supposed to a month ago but couldn’t because we were filming, so yeah, no, I still have to get them redone.”
Denise, 53, also pointed out that the cost of the procedure would come out of her own pocket.
“My insurance doesn’t cover it, I have to pay” she noted, joking, “I think we pretty much signed our life away doing that show. It’s dangerous.”
"Maybe we can work that in after the fact," Phypers then reportedly answered at the suggestion that the Fox series might pay for the operation.
Denise Richard's history of being candid about plastic surgery
Denise Richard’s revelation about her ruptured implants is just the latest chapter in her open dialogue about plastic surgery.
In 2023, she revealed her decision to remove her implants after learning more about their potential toxicity.
“I’m trying to talk [my daughter] Sami out of it because, and the reason why I’m getting them out, is I didn’t know how toxic [they are] when I was 19,” she said.
“And it’s not an easy surgery. It’s painful!”
Denise’s concern for Sami, now 20, whom she had with ex Charlie Sheen, reflects her own teenage insecurities.
“I was made fun of as a teenager [because my boobs] were mosquito bites,” Denise admitted. “I got them done at the same age Sami is wanting to get them done.”
