At just 21 years old, Sami Sheen made a shocking announcement that she will be having her breast implants removed almost two years after her surgery. In her Instagram stories, Sheen (the daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards), revealed that she has been having health issues since her surgery with ‘the weirdest symptoms’.
In one of the stories she wrote, “finally discovered that I have breast implant illness,” adding, “idk how I [hadn’t] figured this out sooner but I’m so happy to finally have an answer.”
Apparently Sheen had shared the news on TikTok but wanted to share on Instagram as well “in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing. this is your sign to always put your health first!!!”
Sheen, who also appears in a reality TV show with her mother (who also has her own OnlyFans account) shared a long list of her symptoms: chronic fatigue, headaches, acne, memory loss, brain fog, vertigo, joint pain, dry eyes, mood swings, hair loss, allergies, skin rashes, severe anxiety, and sensitivity to temperature.
She also shared in her stories, “BII often mimics certain autoimmune diseases, but I’m certain it’s my implants because these symptoms started almost immediately after getting them done.”
Sheen said that she is exhausted and experiences nearly all of these symptoms daily, and that’s why she’s going to have them removed — but Sheen does worry about how she will feel about her body when her implants are gone.
Sheen revealed as she looked at a picture of her pre-cosmetic surgery figure, “It’s definitely gonna be hard going back to this size. not only physically, but mentally. I don’t want to at all but i know i’ll feel so much better once they are out. so i guess it’s worth it.”
It’s quite the change of tune since Sheen shared only a couple of months ago that she was planning to get another boob job and go even bigger next time. In that TikTok video she said, “They’re finally fully dropped and settled in. I feel like I could’ve gone bigger and I really wish I went bigger. When the time comes to get them redone I’m definitely going bigger.”
But Sheen is a perfect example of the pressure women, particularly young women, are facing in the current environment. In fact, Sheen shared that childhood bullying is the reason she joined OnlyFans so that she could fund her plastic surgery, beginning with a nose job. While Sheen has been open about some of her procedures, young women are getting so many things done these days that it’s likely that she hasn’t shared all of them.
A newly minted reality star is highlighting the normalization of plastic surgery and how it is impacting young women. 21-year-old influencer Savanna ‘Vanna’ Einerson appeared on the recent season of Love Island and has sparked countless conversations about her face and the alleged work she has had done.
While Einerson has not publicly discussed her work, based on videos of her from the last few years, professionals are speculating that she has had filler in multiple areas of her face, including her lips, cheeks, chin, and even her forehead.
Not only does having that much work so young make women appear older than they really are, it’s unclear what the longterm effects of this kind of work will be. Will there be a version of the illness that Sheen is experiencing for women with filler?
Perhaps it’s time to rethink how normal plastic surgery has become.
