Kehlani said removing their breast implants was 'the best thing' because they were making them feel sick

• During an interview, Kehlani said their breast implants made them feel sick, so they had a doctor remove them.
• The singer called the decision "the best thing" they ever did.

Singer Kehlani revealed they had a doctor surgically remove their breast implants, during a recent appearance on the podcast "Big Boy's Fully Loaded Interviews."

Kehlani, who uses they/them pronouns, said their breast implants made them feel sick.

"It's the best thing I ever did," Kehlani told host Big Boy. They said the implants made them "sick" physically and mentally.

Kehlani is the latest celebrity to share their negative experience with breast implants. Previously, Chrissy Teigen and Ashley Tisdale used social media to share their decisions to remove their implants after saying the devices caused them pain and discomfort. Michelle Visage, a "RuPaul's Drag Race" judge known for her breast implants, made and starred in a documentary last year about having hers removed.

Visage said the implants caused "breast implant illness," with symptoms including heart palpitations, hair loss, chronic brain fog, and a thyroid condition that causes chronic fatigue, brain fog, and aching joints.

Tens of thousands of women have reported side effects after getting breast implants, from pain that leaves them bed-ridden for days to unrelenting rashes and nausea. But the greater medical community doesn't recognize "breast implant illness" as an official medical diagnosis, since little research on it exists.

Ayesha Curry, former Playmate Crystal Hefner, and Playboy model Karen McDougal have also had doctors remove their breast implants, many citing discomfort and sickness which they believe the devices caused.

The FDA now requires all breast implants to come with a black box warning, the most serious type of warning the agency has. It recognizes that breast implants aren't harmless.
