Hugh Hefner's widow, Crystal, made the brave decision to remove her implants after she became sick in 2016.

Taking to Facebook, she : "My Breast Implants Slowly Poisoned Me.

"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.

"I've had days in 2016 when I couldn't get out of bed. I’ve felt such despair knowing life was happening all around me but I couldn’t participate."

She said in a touching post: "Little by little I began struggling with minor health issues that just were not adding up – food sensitivities as well as gut issues that 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.

"This picture above was taken two months after my explant surgery and I think you can tell just how happy I am to finally be fully me."

Following the incident, the model and star began to feel sick and tired, and aside from the immune response to the breast implant leakage, she also got diagnosed with Lyme disease.

She said in a personal essay published on the website: "The leakage from that incident had traveled, over the years, through my body and taken a life of its own. 

"It was fascinating to learn that 2.8-3 cm silicone granulomas were found in my lymph nodes, under my clavicle bone, and deep inside my chest cavity, creating a constant immune response and a constant feeling of something that was trying to kill me from the inside out.

"Thank God I stopped listening to doctors that told me I was fine and looked beautiful, thank God my intuition was strong and dead-on, and thank God I am alive and here to state my case!"

Most recently, Yolanda admitted that she also got rid of her lip and face fillers.
