Danica Patrick Reveals Why She Had Breast Implants Removed After Mysterious Illness: ‘True Vulnerability’

Sharing her story. Nearly eight years after Danica Patrick got breast implants, she had them removed after experiencing strange symptoms.“I wasn’t sure I was ready to share this, but then I remembered that true vulnerability is sharing something you’re not really ready to,” the former NASCAR driver, 40, wrote via Instagram on Friday, April 29. “I got breast implants [in] November of 2014.

I got them because I want to have it all. I was really fit, but I didn’t have boobs. So I got them. Everything went well, and I was happy with them.”Three years later, Patrick noticed that her hair “was not as healthy” and started to break off.

She also had gained weight with “no luck losing” the extra pounds.“Then fast forward to late 2020 and the wheels came off,” the Wisconsin native wrote in her social media post. “I had cycle irregularity, gained more weight, my hair wasn’t looking healthy at all and my face was a different shape (weird I know).

So I went down the rabbit hole to figure it out. I did every test that could be done.”Patrick — who confirmed her split from boyfriend Carter Comstock last month — underwent a variety of “out-of-range” medical exams based on her symptoms, which included hypothyroidism, heavy metal toxicity, dysbiosis, severe leaky gut and hypoglycemia.
