Danica Patrick is the latest celebrity openly to admit that she had her breast implants removed.
The former NASCAR driver shared a long message on Instagram on April 29 detailing the health issues she was facing as a result her implants. She had them in November 2014. “I was really fit, but I didn’t have boobs. So I ordered them. Everything went well, and I was happy with them,” she explained in her caption. By 2018, she began noticing a few issues, but “the wheels came off” in 2020.
“I had cycle irregularity, gained more weight, my hair wasn’t looking healthy at all and my face was a different shape (weird I know),” Patrick explained. “So I went down the rabbit hole to figure it out. I did every test possible.” She then shared a lengthy list of symptoms such as hypothyroidism. Capsular contracture is a hardened scar tissue surrounding her implants that was a standout.
Patrick shared a side to side photo of her face just hours before her surgery on Wednesday April 27th. She also shared her message. “Within hours after surgery this is what I noticed – my face had more color and less dark circles (no food before the second pic), my face started producing oil again, I could take a 30% deeper breath into my chest already, and I had so much energy when I woke up (and surgery was at 230pm),” she shared.
