Celebrities Who Reversed Their Cosmetic Surgery
With the increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery, more and more people have been openly discussing their decision to go under the knife — and sharing their regrets. Here are 34 celebs who reversed their cosmetic procedures: On the S.H.E. MD podcast, SZA said that, when she got breast implants, she didn't fully understand the risk that her family history of breast cancer put her under. She said, "When I got my boobs done, my doctor took out some of my fibrosis, but.. there was so much fibrosis [connective tissue that's scarred and thickened], it was crazy. And he took it out. And so, when I went back, a lot of the concerns were gone. I like seeing somebody spiritual about it, specifically the breast cancer situation and the marker before I had the results of the biopsy and all that, I had talked to somebody, because I was like, 'I got to figure out what's going on in the higher realms…" Due to her increased risk of breast cancer, she was supposed to see her OB/GYN before getting the implants, but she "snuck and got it anyways." She said, "I have markers in my breast, like metal markers in my breast for these fibrosis, for these lumps or whatever, I'm not supposed to be getting breast implants... So basically, I put them in. They ended up hurting me. I got way too much scar tissue because my breasts are too dense, and I'm not supposed to have breast implants. And so I ended up getting extra fibrosis, like, with tissue, whatever, and I didn't feel good, and it was painful. So, I took them out, and now, they're just my boobs." Michelle Visage decided to remove her breast implants after experiencing "flare-ups," which included symptoms like bloating and weight gain. However, it took a lot of doctor's visits and testing for her to receive a diagnosis. On Red Table Talk, she said, "I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is an autoimmune condition that attacks the thyroid. It happened pretty soon after my first set of implants. And so my journey started there..." "I would go to my doctors, and I'd say, 'If this is an autoimmune issue, and my body's attacking an invader, and just happens to be attacking my thyroid, the only invader are these two blobs of silicon in my body. So why wouldn't I take them out?' I even had one doctor say, 'Just don't take 'em out yet, because we wanna make sure it's not something else.' What else could it be? I've done every test! You can't imagine what I have done... After 20-plus years of chasing my health constantly, continuously, things getting worse, and I couldn't understand why. That was my last step. And to be honest, I was over them anyway... My breasts were always part of the fun, the caricatureness. And I have a wonderful therapist. And I was so ready and honest; I don't regret a thing," she said. Michelle chronicled her explant surgery in the documentary Explant. In the film, she shared a toxicology report that revealed she still had traces of silicone in her system. Her experience led her to become outspoken about breast implant illness, which isn't officially recognized by doctors because of a lack of research. She told Insider, "There are plenty of surgeons, both male and female, that say that [breast implant illness] doesn't exist and that we're just hysterical. We need to go home, get laid, smoke some weed, have a glass of champagne, and take a Prozac or Xanax... This [doc] has nothing to do with what I look like. This has all to do with what I feel like, and to let women know that they are not crazy." In 2023, Sami Sheen, the daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, documented the process of getting breast implants on Snapchat. However, two years later, she shared her decision to have them removed. On her Instagram story, she wrote, "i've been experiencing health issues for nearly 2 years now with the weirdest symptoms and finally discovered that i have breast implant illness. idk how i haven't figured this out sooner but i'm so happy i finally have an answer. i'm hoping to get them removed asap so i can start feeling better. pls lmk if you know of any good explant surgeons near LA ⬇️" In a follow-up post, she added, "BII often mimics certain autoimmune diseases, but I'm certain it's my implants because these symptoms started almost immediately after getting them done. And now I experience nearly all of these symptoms every single day. It's exhausting." Specifically, she said she experienced the following symptoms: "chronic fatigue, sensitivity to temperature, allergic to almost everything, hair loss, acne, headaches, memory loss, brain fog, vertigo, joint pain, muscle pain, skin rashes, severe anxiety (always been an anxious person but nothing like this), dry eyes, [and] mood swings." Sharing an older picture of herself, she added, "it's definitely gonna be hard going back to this size. not only physically, but mentally. i don't want to at all but i know i'll feel so much better once they are out. so i guess it's worth it. i posted about this on my tiktok but figured i would talk about it on here incase anyone else is experiencing the same is your sign to always put your health first!!! (also i can't believe this is all my real hair, another thing that these implants took from me)." When Cardi B was 22, she got illegal biopolymer butt injections, but at 30, she had 95 percent of them surgically removed and warned her fans to never get the procedure done. In an Instagram Live, she said, "All I'm going to say is that if you're young, if you're 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you're too skinny, and you be like, 'OMG, I don't have enough fat to put in my ass,' so you result to ass shots, don't!" Here's a more recent photo of Cardi. Tiny Harris had her butt implants removed. In a 2025 Instagram comment, she reportedly said, "And for the record u can see my full a– from the bck & it's small as ever. Definitely not the same a– since 2022 everybody think they know so much tho. It looks this way cause I had it removed." Here's a more recent picture of her. In 2015, Zonnique, Tiny Harris's daughter, got her eye color surgically changed in Tunisia because it's illegal in the US. She told Mosaique FM, "After surgery, I couldn't see my eyes, but this morning, I got to, and I really loved them, and I thought they looked pretty." However, on a 2018 episode of T.I. & Tiny: Family & Friends Hustle, Zonnique revealed that she'd been experiencing eye pressure. She said, "It's been a week since I got my surgery, and I took the eye implants out so that I wouldn't have any permanent damage. When I first found out how serious the situation was, I was so emotional. It's really not something that I wanna go through again." Later, when an Instagram commenter asked her about the surgery, she reportedly said, "I've never liked to recommend anyone to do it. I can say that the experience wasn't the best in the long term but everyone is different." In a 2020 Instagram post, Ashley Tisdale said, "Years ago I underwent breast enhancement surgery. Prior to the surgery, I constantly felt my body was less than, and thought this change would make me feel more whole and more secure about myself. And for a short period of time…it did. But little by little I began struggling with minor health issues that just were not adding up—food sensitivities as well as gut I thought could be caused by my implants. So, last winter I decided to undergo implant removal. This journey has been one of growth, self discovery, self acceptance and most importantly self-love." Here's Ashley more recently: On a 2011 episode of Good Morning America, Tori Spelling said, "I got my boobs done in my early 20s, and if I had known it would or could possibly impact production of milk, I would never had had them done." She also later learned that her implants were "expired and recalled," but she put off a removal for years. However, her daughter, Stella, encouraged her to go through with it because she was worried about her. On Jeff Lewis Live, Tori said, "I got them when I was really young. And I didn't know that at a certain point they would have an expiration. I didn't know that you would have to do it really hit home for me when my daughter came to me, and she's like, 'Mom, I'm concerned. You have put this off. You told me for years now that you need to get your boobs redone.'" According to John Hopkins Medicine, getting breast implants doesn't prevent you from breastfeeding, but "there is no guarantee that the mother will have a full supply of milk." Additionally, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast implants aren't a "lifetime device," and many recipients remove them after 10-20 years. Victoria Beckham removed her breast implants. In 2014, she told Allure, "I don't have them anymore. I think I may have purchased them." In the book The House of Beckham, biographer Tom Bower alleged she had them removed on Anna Wintour's advice, writing, "Victoria had only just entered the fashion business. She had met Marc Jacobs, an adored New York designer. At his fashion show she had modelled three of his outfits in three hour. Fashion queen Anna Wintour approved of size 6 Victoria. Her self-mockery won Wintour's approval, but subject to her accepting some firm advice. Boob jobs and hotpants were definitely Essex and not East Side. To rebrand her image, her breast implants needed to be fixed." On The Zeze Millz Show, DreamDoll shared her plan to undo her BBL, which she feels has gone "out of fashion," by getting a "butt reduction." She said, "I went and got surgery, and I want to transition back to my natural body... I feel like natural bodies and more slim, slim thick, I feel like that's what's in right now." Here's a more recent picture of her. Chrissy Teigen told Glamour that she got breast implants for her modeling career. She said, "I did my boobs when I was about 20 years old. It was more for a swimsuit thing. I thought, if I'm going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky! But then you have babies, and they fill up with milk and deflate, and now I am screwed... Honestly, I kept them the same cup size. I just filled them out, so they are rounder and firmer. I had a quarter 'teardrop' cup in the bottom and filled out the breast line. But I want them out now. If I could do one thing, it would be to have a lift. I think you're supposed to replace [implants] every ten years. But when you have kids, you think about [the risks] of surgery, and I think, 'This is not the way I want to die, in boob surgery.'" Then, in a 2020 Instagram post, she shared, "So I posted myself getting a covid test on the twitter, as I'm getting surgery soon. A lot of people are understandably curious (and nosey!) so I'll just say it here: I'm getting my boobs out! They've been great to me for many years but I'm just over it. I'd like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort! No biggie! So don't worry about me! All good. I'll still have boobs, they'll just be pure fat. Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat." After surgery, Chrissy shared footage of her scars on her Instagram. She said, "A few of my friends keep having to tell people that I really got my implants out because no one believes it. These are the scars." She also posted a photo from the surgery on her story. In 2009, Heidi Montag infamously underwent ten cosmetic procedures in a single day. Four years later, she removed her breast implants. She told People, "They were so heavy they were falling through the skin. It was just too heavy for my body, and I was in pain and uncomfortable all the time. I thought, 'What do I need this big of breasts for?'" Here's Heidi more recently. In 2022, Stassie Karanikolaou told Call Her Daddy, "The only implants that I have are in my titties. I'm not saying that I haven't done other things and I haven't moved some things around... Over the past couple of years, I've tried to make everything smaller because I like the natural look. I was just really fucking young and stupid and maybe I don't like to talk about it because I don't like the decision I made when I was fucking 18." However, three years later, on her podcast Better Half with Stas + Alexis, she said, "I answered this kind of on Call Her Daddy when I was on it a few years ago, but I was, I think, too scared to physically say it out of my mouth... I think it's not a secret, or something that I can physically hide at this point, that yes, I have a BBL." She also said, "Obviously I made this decision super young. And it's something that I obviously regret, and that's why it's been so hard for me to talk about for so long because it is something that I regret and something that I've been actively trying to, you know, fix for so long. I literally have another surgery in a few weeks to try and reduce the size of it even more. This decision I made when I was super young has now been affecting me. I did not realize at all what I was signing myself up for, and I wish that little me didn't feel the way I felt. The pressure of the world that we live in, the trend at the time. Do not surgically alter your body for a trend at a time. Just know it's only going to be relevant for a little bit. Do things for yourself. There should be a law that you can't get surgery until you're 25." Following the birth of her son in 2015, Ayesha Curry experienced postpartum depression that "came in the form of [her] being depressed about [her] body," so she decided to get breast implants. She told Working Mother magazine, "The intention was just to have them lifted, but I came out with these bigger boobs I didn't want. I got the most botched boob job on the face of the planet." She later had the implants removed. On a 2021 episode of Ellen, the host instructed her to "bring me something that you never want to see again" as part of a game. Holding up her removed implants, Ayesha said, "OK, so these are my old implants, and I've been waiting for the perfect moment to have, like, a going away party for them because they weren't good to me, they didn't work for me. They worked for some people, but they've got to go, and I don't want to ever see them again." Here's Ayesha more recently. In a 2019 Instagram post, Yolanda Hadid said, "Fifty Five and smiling from the inside out.... Finally back to the original 1964. Living in a body free of breast implants, fillers, botox, exstensions and all the bullshit I thought I needed in order to keep up with what society conditioned me to believe what a sexy woman should look like until the toxicity of it all almost killed me.......... Your health is your wealth so please make educated decisions, research the partial information you're given by our broken system before putting anything foreign in your body." "It took me many years of undoing some bad choices I made for myself before I finally found the freedom to sustainable internal beauty and acceptance of what is the best version of myself by nobody's standards but my on us to learn to love our selves and celebrate our unique, one of a kind beauty at all ages as we move through this journey called 'life'. Beauty has no meaning without your health..................." she wrote At 19, Angela White (aka Blac Chyna) got illegal silicone butt injections from someone who wasn't a real doctor. At 35, she got them removed. In an Instagram video, she said, "I just want all the ladies out there to know: Do not get silicone shots. You can get sick, you can die, have complications, and all this other crazy stuff. Normally, my procedure would've taken four hours tops. My procedure took over 8.5 hours, y'all. Whatever that silicone mass — whatever that was that was in my buttocks — it kept clogging the machine, and breaking it." She also had her facial fillers dissolved. Here's a recent picture of her. In a 2016 Facebook post, Crystal Hefner said that her breast implants "slowly poisoned" her. She said, "Intolerance to foods and beverages, unexplained back pain, constant neck and shoulder pain, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog, memory loss), stunted hair growth, incapacitating fatigue, burning bladder pain, low immunity, recurring infections and problems with my thyroid and adrenals. The mildest of those symptoms started a few years back. The aches, the bladder pain, brain fog, fatigue. I ignored it, labeling myself a hypochondriac, despite truly worrying that there was something wrong with me. I joked about losing my memory to age, and about getting 'lazy'. I began to cancel appointments and shoots because everything exhausted me. Before everything went downhill I was at the gym five days a week, and always shooting and working. She continued, "I had to miss my Summer DJ residency at my favorite Vegas spot, the Rehab pool at The Hard Rock Hotel. The fatigue was so severe that I could barely leave the house or drive. I was afraid to get up there in front of a crowd and go blank with brain fog." She said that, after learning about and researching breast implant illness, she decided to get explant surgery. In 1996, former Playboy model Karen McDougal got breast implants. However, in 2003, she began developing allergies, adrenal and thyroid issues, and frequent bouts of sickness. In 2017, she told People, "[Last January] I started having vision disturbances, blacking out, dizzy spells. Then July came, and it just became so bad that I was passing out, and I was afraid to leave the house. In October 2016, I was on bed rest. I couldn't drive, I was having panic attacks, I couldn't see. I had hearing sensitivity, I couldn't stand noise, I couldn't tolerate light, I had joint pain, brain fog — the list goes on and on." After her friend's wife told her about breast implant illness, she decided to research it herself. Eventually, she decided to get her implants removed. She said, "I noticed right away that I had no more blurry vision, I wasn't blacking out or passing out, I didn't have the severe migraines, my joint pain was gone, my sound sensitivity was better. It took me 20 years to get 'poisoned,' so it's not going to be an overnight process." In 2024, she told The Skinny Confidential podcast that, during the surgery, pieces of the implants had to be scraped from her ribs. She said, "She's in there scraping the shell off of my ribs. Implants are gross. There's so many chemicals in them that are not natural at all. Like, if it doesn't come from the earth... Why are we putting it in our body? ...When I came out of surgery, my lungs felt twice the size. Like, whoa, I can breathe. My pain in my neck instantly went away. I'm like, this is the first time I've had surgery where, you know, you wake up better... I was happy." She also said that she "never had a say" on what size implants she got. Former Playboy model Kimberly Holland got her first breast implants in 2004, then eight years later, she got replacement silicone "gummy bear" implants. She told People, "I remember even that day and that whole week when I got back from surgery, I felt like my body was on fire. It was the most pain I had ever been in in my life. It was strange because the first time I had surgery, I didn't have any pain or problems." A month out, she got a rash all over her back, and she later developed chronic dental infections and Raynaud's disease. Her research led her to breast implant illness, as well as the discovery that some newer implants made by her manufacturer had been recalled. So, in 2017, she had her implants removed. She said, "I just wanted them out. I didn't want to waste any more of my time or my health. There was no point in waiting. I have a son who's a toddler — I need to be around and be healthy... I felt compelled to come forward because I think other women need to hear about this. I think it's wrong that the cosmetic surgery industry is just blowing this off." Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham was 21 when she underwent her first cosmetic procedures — a chin implant and a rhinoplasty. However, she regretted the chin implant and had it removed within a year. At 31, she told Life & Style, "I could have done without getting a chin implant that I had to take out, that's for sure. It's definitely, like, dimpled up my chin. But you know, there's things that happen, and I can't control everything." She also revealed that she decided to stop getting cosmetic work done altogether after she began living by a 12-step program and gained confidence. She said, "Does it look like I need plastic surgery procedures? No. I'm feeling pretty happy. I've actually felt more freer. And I think that equals like less lines. I just feel so much happier and healthier. It's a whole balance." In 2023, The Bachelorette Season 16 star Clare Crawley told ABC News that, after getting breast implants, she got rashes across her body. For the next eight years, she continued to experience more health issues that her doctors couldn't diagnose. She said, "I was diagnosed with everything probably except breast implant illness because that wasn't a thing then," she said. "And I actually asked my doctors pretty far into it, 'Could [my implants] be causing this? This is the only thing that is the constant in my body.'" So, in 2021, she decided to get explant surgery Here's Clare more recently. YouTuber SimplyNessa15 got a breast augmentation when she was 22. Seven months later, she began experiencing complications, so she decided to get an explant. In a 2020 YouTube video, she said, "It is not worth it. It is not worth the risk. I spent almost $10,000 getting my breasts done, and...I didn't think that literally less than a year later, I was gonna have to spend the exact same amount, if not fix it all because it's literally killing me now." Here's Nessa more recently. At 19, YouTuber Natalie Alzate (aka Natalies Outlet) got breast implants to "fix" the breast deformity she was born with. However, five years later, she "recognized what a disservice [she] had done to [her] body," as she began to experience an autoimmune disease, slurred speech, memory issues, and panic attacks. While researching her symptoms, she realized that her implants were likely the cause and decided to have them removed. In a 2019 YouTube video, she said, "I went into surgery that day crying of fear and guilt, knowing what I had came in so happily to once get done was now my biggest nightmare." However, after the removal surgery was over, she "felt like Natalie again." Here's Natalie more recently. Genevieve Padalecki told the Bathroom Chronicles podcast that she had her breast implants removed a year and a half after getting them. She said, "I noticed that when I would get on the treadmill or I'd go outside and I would jog, I couldn't do it for more than two or three miles before my body would just be like, 'No, we're done.' That was super weird to me. But I was also like, well, 'Maybe I'm tired today. I have three kids; my husband works like crazy hours.' I'm not even thinking it correlates... I didn't feel sick, but my body was just starting to feel really inflamed, and it just didn't feel right." Getting diagnosed with inflamed lymph nodes spurred her decision to get explant surgery. Afterwards, she had no more brain fog and "zero joint pain." She said, "I feel very different. I feel like I'm in my body. My body is not inflamed. I feel normal. I feel like I can move the way I used to be able to move. So for me, it was the right decision." Bethenny Frankel went to a Florida-based comsetic surgeon in 2005 because she was self-conscious about her boobs being "saggy." She told Life & Style, "He told me there would be big lollipop scars if I got a lift. Being single at the time, I wasn't comfortable with that idea. He told me he could instead put in a small implant that would give me a lift — not as much as a real lift would, but at least a little bit of a lift. So I did it... They were still saggy — only now they were bigger! They were saggy and gigantic. I was so uncomfortable. I don't think your breasts should be the first thing people notice when you enter a room." She wanted to get the implants removed, but she couldn't afford another surgery until she was cast on The Real Housewives of New York City in 2008. She said, "The minute I had the money, I was like, 'Let's do it.'" Several years after getting illegal silicone butt injections, K. Michelle had to get four surgeries and two blood transfusions to remove them. She told People, "[The injector] wasn't a doctor — it was black market, it was these 'hydrogel' injections — that's what they were being called. When I found out my favorite rapper did it, that's when I decided, 'I'm getting it done.'" Five years later, she started experiencing pain in her legs and back, migraines, fatigue, and other unexplainable symptoms. Eventually, her doctors found out that the silicone was spreading down her legs, so one suggested she get liposuction. She said, "He thought that you could go and suck it out, but it spread it. It's definitely a new procedure, so he didn't know... I went on tour about a week and a half later … but after a few performances, I was rushed to the emergency room." Removing the affected tissue required three additional surgeries. She said, "I had these lumps, and I was very disfigured." She planned to get reconstructive surgery. Mena Suvari told People that she secretly got breast implants a few years after American Beauty. She said, "In some ways, it was a distraction. Something I could fill my time with — so that I didn't think about everything else. I was always looking for the answer. I was constantly just looking for this thing that then would get me there. If I just get this, then I'm there. If I do that, then I'm there. So I get surgery. I'm proportioned. Life's good. Everything will be better. Oh, yeah." However, working through her trauma from past emotional and sexual abuse contributed to her decision to get explant surgery. She said, "I would catch myself so many times realizing, 'I have these bags in my chest.' And I didn't have that connection as to why I truly did it. There was a lack of appreciation on my part. So I just sort of felt like, 'Who am I and what am I doing?' ...One of the actresses I worked with at the time shared her experience with her implants and how she almost died. And I was shocked and I was terrified. And I thought, 'Oh my God, like, can this happen to me? I don't even know what kind of implant I have.'" Mena ultimately got them removed when she and her husband decided to have a baby. She said, "I decided to go back into my doctor to at least find out if I was okay if I wanted to have a baby, if I could breastfeed. I sat with Mike, and we talked about it. I was terrified. I thought I would die on the table. I mean, I prepared myself for that." However, her surgery went well, and she gave birth to her son in 2021. Kayla Lochte got explant surgery in 2021. On Instagram, she shared, "BII aka Breast Implant Illness and the array of symptoms that have come with it for me : Fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, joint pain, dizziness, reoccurring illnesses, abrupt food allergies, insomnia, bladder issues, swollen lymph nodes, common feeling of a hangover without having alcohol, inflammation, night sweats, vivid dreams, trouble breathing, feeling weak, low libido, bruising easily, vision issues, intolerance to cold, ringing in ears or pressure, and worsened PMS." She continued, "I have seen multiple doctors, array of blood tests, allergist, ent, dentist, acupuncture, ultrasounds, mammogram, chiro, supplements, therapist and medication which all led me closer and closer to considering an explant of my implants. I do not tell you these things to scare you but to just to make you aware and listen to your body! Implants are filled with a horrendous amount of VERY toxic chemicals and they sit on top of very important organs in our bodies. Our bodies are wonderfully intelligent and dislike foreign, highly toxic objects within them." She wrote, "2020 was a scary year for my health and mental wellness which I pray to never relive again. I tend to be open about my struggles which I kept a smile on as much as I could but I felt a lot of shame and embarrassment to have so much to be thankful for - yet I was drowning. I was afraid of myself, my thoughts and didn't know how I could continue to live feeling the way that I was. BUT I PROMISE YOU There is hope - do not give up. There are valleys and there are mountaintops and I am currently on the climb.🤍" On The Real, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton said, "I did the first Cheetah Girls movie, and I was 18 years old when I did the first one. And I had boobs, but I didn't think they were big enough. So I was like, 'Oh, I did this little Cheetah Girl movie. This probably ain't gonna do nothing. Let me go up the ante and get my sexy on.' I had just turned 18, so, you know, when you turn 18 — and I had been in, like, a little girl group for such a long time — you wanna feel sexy and womanly. And I was like, 'Maybe I'll get bigger boobs.' So I did. At 19 years old, I went and got breast implants, and I went from one insecurity to another insecurity...I asked for a B. I came out with a DD, okay?" She said she was uncomfortable with the size of her implants because she's only 4'11. She continued, "And here's the catch — we went to go do a second Cheetah Girls movie, and Disney was like, 'We left her a Cheetah Girl. She came back a porn star! What is going on here?' ... They were like, 'The cleavage situation she has going on here is out of control.' ... I got my breast implants taken out because I looked crazy. The insecurity was, like, 'okay, I don't have big breasts' to 'Now everyone is looking at my breasts,' and I was more embarrassed that people knew I was so insecure that I went and got breast implants." She also said that she'd had a breast lift since then. In 2011, Heather Morris told Fitness magazine that she removed her breast implants shortly after getting them. She said, "Implants were something I thought I wanted when I was younger, and now I don't. It was hard being active with them, because my chest was always sore. It hurt a lot, and I didn't like always being in pain, so they had to go!" Here's Heather more recently. Melissa Gilbert had explant surgery in 2015. She told People, "[It was] one of the smartest things I've ever done." A year later, she ceased getting fillers and Botox, too. She said, "I'm done with enhancements. I look great for my age, and I feel great, and I'm happy. I'm not saying I don't have moments when I look in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Shar Pei!' I do have a Shar Pei puppy forehead on occasion, but it's mine." Here's Melissa more recently. The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Tamra Judge got her breast implants removed in 2021 because of "autoimmune issues." On her Instagram story, she said, "I can't wait! Tired of being tired and inflamed." She also said that she "probably wouldn't rush to have them removed" if she wasn't experiencing health issues," adding, "However, I am so over having large breast[s] that seem to get bigger with age." In a post-surgery story post, she shared, ""Implants & capsules removed. Feeling tired & a little sore as expected. I'm pretty sure Not working out will be the hardest part for me... I know it sounds crazy but I woke up today with rosy cheeks , No sinus congestion and happy thoughts. I'm hoping I will continue to see health improvements as the weeks go on 😊." It was actually her second explant surgery. She got her first breast implants after the birth of her first child, got them redone after the birth of her second, later had a reduction, then got them removed in 2012. However, she got new implants shortly after. She told People, "It is what it is. It's a personal choice and for me. I don't do it for the public or my husband. It's something you do to make yourself feel better." In an early 2025 Instagram post, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Camille Grammer shared, "New Year, new look. I was over the look of my implants and wanted the natural look. I feel much better without them." Here's a picture of Camille from a year prior. And finally, in an essay for Refinery 29, Stephanie March wrote, "Much to the bewilderment of my friends, my family, and my soon-to-be-ex-husband, in August of 2014, I got a breast augmentation. One of my best friends, who happens to be a doctor, picked me up from the surgery. 'What's the point of having a gay doctor bestie if he can't help you with your boob job?' he asked. I went home, took some Percocet, reclined upright, and waited for the perfection to set in. And it did. In five weeks, I looked darn good. Skinny from my misery. Nice breasts from my wallet. My life may have been falling apart, but this? This was pretty good. That is, until one morning in early October when I sat up in bed and felt a sickening wet mucus sliding down my chest." She continued, "It was everywhere, soaking my shirt and the sheets. My right implant was infected, and the seams of the scar on my right breast had burst. I raced to my surgeon's office. He shot me full of anesthesia, deftly removed the entire implant, cleaned and packed the wound, and immediately sent me to an infectious disease doctor. I had a hole in my breast for six weeks while I blasted my body with antibiotics. I had the implant put back in. I had another infection and rupture on Christmas Eve. I had it taken out again. I had more cultures and tests and conversations with doctors than I care to recall. All of them came to the same conclusion: My surgeon was, and is, a superlative doctor and a conscientious practitioner. His work and operating theater are immaculate. The problem wasn't something anyone could have prevented or predicted — it was that I am allergic to implants. Plain and simple. My body did. Not. Want. Them." "I kept trying to 'fix' my body, and it kept telling me to leave it alone. I've since learned that breast implant complications and adverse outcomes, like the one I experienced, occur in at least 1% of breast implant patients, according to the FDA. In April, after so much back and forth and so many pieces of gauze and soft bras and waiting to operate until the infections cleared up and not being able to use my arms properly, my surgeon looked at me and gently said, 'I want you to have what you want. I want you to be happy. But the universe is talking to you. I think you should listen,'" she said. "By this point, my marriage had completely tanked, it was all over the tabloids, and my mother had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and moved in with me for her treatment. It was time to move on and deal with my life. I said, 'Enough of this. I have other things to worry about. Take them out. I'm done with this project.' The day of the final surgery arrived, and before I went under, I spent a few moments catching up with my surgeon. I told him I was getting a divorce and nervously joked, 'New people are going to see these for the first time in years. You have to make them look good.' He smiled very kindly and said, 'Don't worry. You never needed me for that,'" she wrote.

'I took that personally' — Stephen Curry's wife Ayesha Curry regretted her interview with Jada Pinkett Smith
Ayesha Curry and Jada Pinkett Smith. Image via:|In a candid new conversation with Insider, Ayesha Curry , author, entrepreneur, and wife of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, opened up about her growing discomfort with the spotlight. It was a reflection shaped by years of public scrutiny. She particularly expressed regret over her 2019 appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith 's Red Table Talk, which she says misrepresented her and ultimately shifted her view of fame, privacy, and the public's expectations of celebrity families. Ayesha Curry reflects on media exposure and Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, regret Ayesha Curry's journey into public life began organically, as her husband's NBA career skyrocketed with the Golden State Warriors. She was a frequent guest on talk shows, celebrated for her relatable charm and culinary ventures. But behind the public appearances was a growing internal conflict. It became more evident after she appeared in the Red Table Talk interview with Jada Pinkett Smith in May 2019. undefined During that appearance, Ayesha spoke frankly about her insecurities as the wife of a high-profile athlete and how she navigated the attention Steph Curry received from other women. 'Stephen is very nice by nature. And he's very talkative. … Obviously, you know, the devil is a liar. The ladies will always be lurking, hoping for their moment and waiting. You need to be aware of that,' she said on the show. 'I honestly hate it. … We had the conversation about it, and he tries really, really hard if we're going somewhere, he's introduced me. I don't like to have to introduce myself.' Looking back, Ayesha told Business Insider in 2023 that she was blindsided by how the interview was edited. 'It's not what I said, and the context was weird,' she explained. 'Yeah. I took that one personally.' According to her, the episode portrayed her in a way that didn't reflect the truth of what she shared. 'When the social media thing started, nobody knew what that was going to become,' she said. 'If we had known back in the day just how chaotic it would make life, I don't think we would've done it.' Following backlash from her Red Table Talk appearance, Ayesha addressed critics through an emotional Instagram post on May 8, 2019. 'I have never been one to cage my feelings and emotions to any capacity. I am human,' she wrote. 'It brings me pure joy to speak my mind, be vulnerable at times and to know myself inside and out.' Recognizing that it was Mental Health Awareness Month, she added, 'I really want to take the time to encourage everyone to speak their truth regardless of perception, fitting into a mold or offending someone, because it's YOUR truth. And that's okay!' Despite her issues with the editing, she still expressed gratitude toward Jada Pinkett Smith: 'There is so much more depth to the talk and our family is grateful to @jadapinkettsmith for giving us the opportunity to bond together.' Also Read: Julie Vanloo gets heartbreaking news from Golden State Valkyries right after international flight touches down Years passed by, and Ayesha has long since gotten over that huge public scrutiny.

Kim Basinger turns heads in rare photos at granddaughter Holland's birthday party
Kim Basinger is turning heads in recent photos shared by daughter Ireland Baldwin. The Academy Award-winning actress, who is fairly private by Hollywood's terms, appeared in new photos from granddaughter Holland's birthday party. "Celebrated Holland's 2nd at @triskeleefarm with our people," Baldwin captioned her Instagram post. In the snaps, Basinger dressed down for the occasion in an olive green jacket, black sweatpants, black sunglasses and an oversized straw hat and black sunglasses. In one photo, the "L.A. Confidential" actress smiled softly and wrapped her arm around Baldwin, who was holding Holland, while the trio posed with another woman. In another picture, Basinger smiled with Baldwin and two other women. 'A lot of learning I had to do': Ireland Baldwin talks healing from past abuse on 'Red Table Talk' Basinger and actor Alec Baldwin, Baldwin's father, were married from 1993 to 2002. Baldwin shares her 2-year-old Holland with musician André Allen Anjos, who is better known by his stage name RAC. In April 2022, on an episode of "Red Table Talk" featuring Baldwin, Basinger discussed her experience of agoraphobia, an "anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed," according to Mayo Clinic. The anxiety disorder can affect people in instances such as "using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line, or being in a crowd." After suffering an anxiety attack inside a health food store, Basinger said she didn't drive for about seven months. "I wouldn't leave the house," Basinger told co-host Jada Pinkett Smith. "I would no longer go to dinner. I could not even have people for dinner. We tried that, and it's really horrible to feel that it won as really fiercely as (it) did during those years and not know what it was. It's like something just completely shuts down within you, and you have to relearn everything."
