In an Instagram post, Ashley Tisdale revealed that she had got breast implants years prior because she felt that her body was lacking something without them, and the augmentation would increase her confidence. However, the procedure exponentially affected the actor's mental and physical well-being. Tisdale elaborated on her negative experience in a blog post for her wellness brand, Frenshe, explaining that she struggled with gut health issues and food insensitivities following the procedure.
And, after she watched a bunch of videos and read stories from people who had experienced similar symptoms after their own augmentations, Tisdale realized that her implants were the culprits. So, the "High School Musical" star decided to have an explant surgery. In the post, she wrote, "What's so crazy is that plastic surgeons can't actually acknowledge Breast Implant Illness because then they obviously won't be able to practice breast augmentation surgery," adding, "As you know, implants are one of the biggest moneymakers in the plastic surgery industry."
Even before the explant surgery, Tisdale was positive that she would feel better afterward, and her food sensitivity and gut health issues reduced after the removal. She noted, "I was at a place where I really didn't even like having my implants anymore and I wanted to honor my body in its natural form. I believe our thoughts help us, and by practicing self-love meditation and keeping a positive attitude, I was able to love the results."
