Sami Sheen is having her breast implants removed because she believes they are making her sick

She wrote on her Instagram Story: "I've been experiencing health issues for nearly 2 years now with the weirdest symptoms and finally discovered that I have breast implant illness.

"Idk how I haven't figured this out sooner but i'm so glad to finally have an answer. I'm hoping to get them removed ASAP so I can start feeling better. Pls lmk if you know of any good explant surgeons near LA.(sic)"

The 21-year-old model - who is the daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen - admitted she will find it "physically and mentally hard" to go back to her old body shape but ultimately thinks it is the right thing to do for her health.

Alongside a photo of herself in a bikini pre-surgery, she wrote: "It's definitely going to 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."

Breat Implant Illness (BII) isn't recognised as an official condition, but symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, joint and muscle pains, weight fluctuations, depression, anxiety and hair loss, and Sami has been struggling with allergies, vertigo, rashes, mood swings, dry eyes, acne, headaches and temperature sensitivities.

She added: "BII often mimics certain autoimmune diseases, but I'm certain it's my implants because these symptoms started almost immediately after getting them done.

"I think I just got super unlucky, but I'm also very grateful that I am fortunate enough to get them removed. I feel awful for all the women that experience this and are stuck with them, cause this illness is no joke.

"These things are a pain in the ass to deal with. Not worth it at all, but you live and you learn."

In April, Sami admitted she was keen to have her breast size boosted further.

She said in a TikTok video: "When the time comes to get them redone, I'm definitely going bigger, and I think I'm going to go over the muscle so they look a little more natural."
