Chrishell Stause has revealed that she underwent surgery after her breast implants ruptured.
The 43-year-old man Sunset Sale The star shared a video on her Instagram on Sunday (September 15) in which she shared how the implants disintegrated 15 years after she received them.
“Earlier this year, I had a full-body ultrasound and found out that both of my breast implants were ruptured,” she wrote in the caption of her video, which featured her and her plastic surgeon, Josef Hadeed. “My first thought was fear, thinking about having to undergo surgery and whether the rupture would cause any complications. But I’m so happy I found @josefhadeedmd and had an amazing experience with him and his team.”
He then revealed that Dr. Hadeed and his team removed “all the silicone” and “replaced [her] “Vintage implants from 15 years ago.” She clarified that she was not encouraging anyone to have plastic surgery, calling it a “personal choice,” before explaining why she wanted to be so candid about her experience.
“If you decide to make that decision, it’s really important to take care of your health. I know a lot of people might be living with this and have no idea,” she wrote. “I want to be completely open and transparent about my experience in the hopes that it can help anyone else going through this.”
In the video, Stause commented on how “shocked” she was to learn that her implants had ruptured as she “didn’t feel any symptoms.”
“Of course, when I look back, I wonder, ‘Could that have been it? I’m not sure. ’ And when I met Dr. Hadeed, I thought, ‘Okay, I was in the best hands. ’”
According to the Mayo Clinic, “a ruptured silicone breast implant is one that has a tear or hole in it.” While there are usually no symptoms, a ruptured breast implant “can cause breast pain or changes in the shape of the breasts.” Treatment options include “removal of the oozing breast implant for people who are healthy enough to have surgery.” If patients want a new implant, “one can usually be placed during the same surgery.”
Stausse concluded her video by sending a message to people who have had breast implants for more than a decade, like her, encouraging them to “get their implants checked.”
Stause will soon appear in the third season of The traitors of the United States.
The cast of TV personalities and well-known faces will head to a castle in the Scottish Highlands to play a high-stakes murder mystery game and complete challenges to rack up a grand prize of up to $250,000.
Stause will compete against actor and model Sam Asghari, Britney Spears' ex-husband, while Alan Cummings returns as host. A premiere date on Peacock has not yet been announced.
