Hugh Hefner‘s, 90, third wife has been known for her embellished chest, but that is a thing of the past now, as she seems to be happier than ever! Crystal, 30, posted a pic after her surgery in a hospital gown and robe, with a compress on her head. She used her caption to explain the harmful side effects her breasts burdened her with.

“Intolerance to foods and beverages, unexplained back pain, constant neck and shoulder pain, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog, memory loss), stunted hair growth, incapacitating fatigue, burning bladder pain, low immunity, recurring infections and problems with my thyroid and adrenals,” she revealed. Crystal also used the photo caption as a platform to educate people how she ignored the signs, causing her to miss appearances, and warned women about the dangers of breast implants. The rest of her lengthy caption is displayed in her photo below.

My Breast Implants Slowly Poisoned Me Intolerance to foods and beverages, unexplained back pain, constant neck and shoulder pain, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog, memory loss), stunted hair growth, incapacitating fatigue, burning bladder pain, low immunity, recurring infections and problems with my thyroid and adrenals. The mildest of those symptoms started a few years back. The aches, the bladder pain, brain fog, fatigue. I ignored it, labeling myself a hypochondriac, despite truly worrying that there was something wrong with me. I joked about losing my memory to age, and about getting "lazy". I began to cancel appointments and shoots because everything exhausted me. Before everything went downhill I was at the gym five days a week, and always shooting and working. I've had days in 2016 when I couldn't get out of bed. I’ve felt such despair knowing life was happening all around me but I couldn’t participate. I had to miss my Summer DJ residency at my favorite Vegas spot, the Rehab pool at The Hard Rock Hotel. The fatigue was so severe that I could barely leave the house or drive. I was afraid to get up there in front of a crowd and go blank with brain fog. I had a bunch of spare photos that have enabled me to stay active on social media for the last six months. I’ve tried to keep a facade of normalcy while working to figure out what was going on with my body. Once I became allergic to most every food, had intolerable pain, developed stomach issues and night sweats, I began to research. I found a holistic doctor (Dr. Farshid Rahbar) and was tested for everything. After I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and toxic mold, I posted about it on social media. I began to receive comments saying that my symptoms resembled "Breast Implant Illness." I found a Breast Implant Illness website and Facebook group with almost 3,000 members. My symptoms matched theirs. Over time, implants (both silicone and saline) break down and wreak havoc on your body. The shell on silicone and saline implants is comprised of silicone and over 40 other toxic chemicals... (continued in link in bio)

Playboy Mansion — PICS

She also took to Instagram to show off her smaller breasts in a black bikini, admitting she was “back to the gym after a long break.” Looking healthy and very happy, the model posed with protein cleansers.

Crystal and Hugh walked down the aisle when she was just 26-year-old at the Playboy Mansion. They wed on Dec. 31, 2012 when she was a Playmate, and this is the third marriage for the Playboy founder. We’re thrilled the blonde beauty is back to her old self, and more importantly, healthy!
