Star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Danielle Staub has had her breast implants removed and calls them the procedure the “biggest mistake.” Out with the old and in with the new is Danielle’s new motto, she already left her fiancé behind - and now it is the implants’ turn.
Staub has not had an easy road to fulfillment as she has had to deal with being the fan villain for many seasons. The reality star decided to have her first cosmetic surgery in 1992 when the implants were made of saline and took over much of her body due to their size. The original implants survived two children and breastfeeding but eventually popped, leading to another surgery ten years later where her doctor at the time accidentally left gauze inside her which led to a staph infection.
Plastic surgery is not for the faint of heart; the 57-year-old decided she had enough with the modifications to her breasts and decided on more of a natural look. On October 25h, the reality star had her DD implants removed and she said it was like having a weight lifted off her shoulders. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was no stranger to the operating room as this was her fifth breast surgery in total. The mean girl of New Jersey told People, “I regret getting them in the first place, 100 percent. The biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life. Nobody wants to look that way anymore. I haven’t wanted it for decades.” The Bravo personality said, “Mentally, I felt like I was trapped. I didn’t have a choice, I had to heal and couldn’t change it right away. And I hated them; hated the way they looked, hated the way people looked at me with them.” She said that since she’s removed them, she feels so much more confident, saying, “I feel so relieved to have them out and to enter this new chapter of my life.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star did not just have the surgery for aesthetic reasons - she also needed the surgery for her health. The most recent breast implants she had were placed inside her as season 2 of the hit show started to film, which was back in 2009. The aspiring real estate agent claimed she had asked for a size C, but awoke with DD’s. From the moment the operation was over she said her breasts did not feel right, saying, “My breasts, they immediately felt cold and numb. I literally had no body temperature on my chest for years. They felt impacted, I felt ripples underneath them. And my skin was so thin around my breasts, you could see through it. It was like a couple of pieces of paper. I did not enjoy them at all.” After having an MRI, she was told that she had a lot of scar tissue as well as a ruptured breast which had been the cause of her pain for the last couple of years. Luckily, the procedure of removing the old implants and scar tissue, and building up new breasts only took an hour and the recovery time was only a few days for Staub. Once the old ones were removed, the doctor put in smaller new silicone gummy bear implants, which are a healthier alternative to the old fashioned implants, he explained that the new ones “don’t ooze or leak.”
The breast reduction surgery was not the only cosmetic surgery Staub has recently chosen to partake in. She has also worked with a permanent makeup expert and received eyebrow nano blading and a skin-tightening procedure. Though the Bravo personality claims that she wants to get back to a more natural look, some fans would argue any cosmetic surgery is not natural and hopes that Staub can rediscover her confidence.
