Sami Sheen Wants Breast Implants Removed Due To Health Concerns
In November 2023, Sami Sheen — the then-19-year-old daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards — gained attention for documenting the process of her breast augmentation, a procedure she previously said she'd been wanting to have since she was 10 years old.
Since then, Sami has talked super openly about her boob job and the other cosmetic procedures she's had, including lip filler, a nose job, and veneers. In fact, as recently as April this year, she said that she 'should have gone bigger' with her boobs.
'The surgeon talked me down in size,' she said on Gia Giudice's podcast.
Well, only a couple of months later, and it sounds like Sami has had a serious change of heart.
On Monday, the 21-year-old OnlyFans model posted a string of Instagram stories sharing that she plans to get her breast implants removed due to health concerns. 'I've been experiencing health issues for nearly 2 years now with the weirdest symptoms and finally discovered that I have breast implant illness,' she wrote in the first post, asking fans to share 'any good explant surgeons near LA.'
'Idk how I haven't figured this out sooner but i'm so glad to finally have an answer. I'm hoping to get them removed ASAP so I can start feeling better,' she added.
For context, breast implant illness (BII) refers to the wide range of symptoms that can sometimes occur after getting a boob job, including, joint pain, fatigue, memory loss, and muscle weakness. Researchers are unsure exactly what causes BII, and it isn't currently recognized as an official medical diagnosis; however, this could eventually change.
Responding to a fan, Sami listed a range of health complications she's experienced, including headaches, vertigo, severe anxiety, and skin rashes. 'These symptoms started almost immediately after getting [a boob job,]' she said of the lengthy list. 'And now I experience nearly all of these symptoms every single day.'
Hair loss is also cited as a possible symptom among those experiencing BII, and Sami highlighted this as a difficult aspect of her ordeal.
Despite having wanted a boob job since she was young, Sami told her followers that she wished she'd done 'more research before getting them done.'
'Not everyone who gets implants will get sick from them,' she wrote. 'I think I just got super unlucky, but I'm also very grateful that I am fortunate enough to get them removed. I feel awful for all the women that experience this and are stuck with them, cause this illness is no joke.'
She concluded: 'A part of me is honestly glad I need them removed cause these things are a pain in the ass to deal with. Not worth it at all, but you live and you learn.'

Carrie Johnson admitted to hospital over 'severe dehydration'
Carrie Johnson - the wife of former prime minister Boris Johnson - has revealed she was admitted to hospital with severe dehydration, as she offered advice to other breastfeeding mothers in the hot weather. Mrs Johnson, 37, posted a picture of herself and her newborn daughter Poppy Eliza Josephine on Friday in a hospital bed. "Being hospitalised for two nights for severe dehydration was not on my postpartum bingo card," she captioned the Instagram post. Mrs Johnson urged other "breastfeeding mums" to make sure they eat and drink enough "in this heat", especially those who are "clusterfeeding". Poppy was born on 21 May, becoming the couple's fourth child after their son Frank, born in July 2023, daughter Romy, born in December 2021, and son Wilfred, born in April 2020. In a separate Instagram story, Mrs Johnson described an "honestly brutal week". "Mastitis (me), reflux (her), dehydration (me). What a pair we are!," she said. "But thank you for all the kind messages, especially all the brilliant advice on reflux. Really appreciate it and made me feel way less alone going thru (sic) it all. And as ever, thanks to our amazing NHS." Read more from Sky News: The NHS recommends drinking plenty of fluids while breastfeeding - and avoiding caffeine and alcohol to stop their effects being passed on to the baby. Having a drink nearby when mothers stop to feed is advised, as is water, lower-fat milk, and low-sugar drinks. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued an amber heat health alert for the next four days. Although not a public weather warning, it advises health and social care organisations of possible dangers to their patients and facilities. Temperatures could reach 34C on Monday - with a 20% chance of beating the hottest June day on record of 35.6C from 1976. The likelihood of record-breaking temperatures could increase over the weekend as the day approaches.

Woman Adopts Rescue Cat, Gets Home and Realizes Something 'Wasn't Normal'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After her pet passed, Wren couldn't stand being in an empty house, which is why she quickly went to the shelter to adopt another cat—but as soon as she got home with her new feline, she knew something "wasn't normal." Wren, who runs the Instagram account @puddlesforbrains, shared in a June 12 video that her new cat, Puddles, started showing unique behaviors soon after finding her new home in April 2024. From not caring about the vacuum noise to being unable to track a toy, Wren ran through a list of possibilities: Is Puddles deaf or blind? Visits to the vet didn't provide immediate answers. The cat's "no-fear instinct" toward loud noises convinced not one, but two veterinarians that she was deaf, Wren told Newsweek via email. "She is really bad at tracking things with her eyes," Wren said. "It's almost like she has tunnel vision and doesn't use her peripheral vision." However, it turned out Puddles has excellent vision. What Wren learned was that Puddles had a learning disability. "The vet did confirm that she has a learning disability," she said. "They believe she has some cognitive dysfunction that presents as a learning disability." Screenshots from a June 12 Instagram video of an owner discovering her cat has a learning disability. Screenshots from a June 12 Instagram video of an owner discovering her cat has a learning disability. @puddlesforbrains/Instagram All breeds of cats can experience cognitive dysfunction, also known as kitty dementia, a vet-reviewed article from Catster reported. This disorder usually affects cats 10 years or older, and is characterized by a decline in cognitive abilities such as memory, learning and spatial awareness. The team believes that Puddles' cognitive dysfunction was caused by a mix of brain damage, due to an accident that broke her leg, and malnutrition as a kitten, Wren said. But it is impossible to know for certain, as Puddles was a stray kitty for the first six months of her life. Wren couldn't imagine a life without Puddles now, quirks and all. She explained that Puddles does not turn her head left or right and rarely looks behind. Instead, she'll tilt her head backward and look at you upside down. Her walking routes aren't always the smartest. She'll take the slow way, feeling along the walls of the house. And if she wants to turn, she stands up against the wall and uses it to help. Plus, she's a bit clumsy. She never stops meowing or wanting to cuddle. "Adopting her is the single best thing to ever happen to me, and I don't think anything will ever beat that," Wren said. "She is the love of my life and my soulmate." Instagram users quickly became obsessed with Puddles, bringing the video to over 2.3 million views and 305,000 likes as of Friday. "She is 'no thoughts, just vibes' personified and she's absolutely perfect," commented a viewer. Another person added: "It's so amazing that she has a home where she's perfectly happy and lives a wonderful life even with her silliness! Y'all are doing a great thing for her." A third user wrote: "It honestly didn't cross my mind that a cat could have a learning disability for some reason. Or maybe I never thought of what this would look like. She's such a sweetheart."
