Yolanda Foster removes leaky breast implants
Yolanda Foster‘s leaky breast implants may have been aggravating the symptoms of her Lyme disease.
Sources told TMZ the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star had both implants removed this week after doctors discovered one was leaking silicone, reportedly making the symptoms of her illness worse.
She shared a photo and powerful message on Instagram Friday about her decision, writing, “❤️Turn a mess into a message……. We might have hit the jackpot by finding all this silicone from a 20 year old implant rupture through ultrasound mapping as shown in this selfie.”
Though the removal isn’t a cure for her disease, her condition is expected to become much more manageable, according to the site. The 51-year-old reportedly is already feeling better.
The mother of models Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid has been battling Lyme disease since 2012, and has been very open about her struggle. In January, she penned an essay saying she’d nearly lost the ability to read, write and watch television.
“Although writing is usually my favorite thing to do, I unfortunately have lost the ability to do so in an intelligent matter at this time,” she said, detailing her battle with the disease that’s left her feeling like someone “confiscated my brain and tied my hands behind my back.”
