Actress Tara Reid has opened up about the negative effects of plastic surgery on her career, attributing bre-st implants and liposuction as the culprits behind damaging her image.
In an interview with Us Weekly, she revealed the aftermath of her 2004 surgeries, stating that her stomach became deformed with ripples and bulges, along with a noticeable hernia near her belly button.
These physical changes not only prevented her from confidently wearing a bikini but also led to a significant decline in job opportunities within the industry.
Despite her initial expectations of improvement post-surgery, Reid expressed disappointment as time passed, revealing that her condition only worsened over six months.
She candidly shared her shock at the unexpected outcomes, particularly highlighting the distressing appearance of her nipples following the procedures.
The unfortunate turn of events not only impacted her professional life but also took a toll on her personal confidence.
One of the most poignant moments of scrutiny came during a public mishap at Diddy’s 35th birthday celebration in 2004, where Reid experienced a wardrobe malfunction that exposed her botched bre-st augmentation, causing a viral sensation online.
Recalling the incident, she recounted her emotional plea to photographers to refrain from circulating the photos, only to face the harsh reality of being labeled as having the “ugliest b–bs in the world” across various platforms.
In an attempt to rectify the damage caused by her initial surgeries, Reid underwent a reversal procedure in 2006.
However, despite her efforts to correct the visible scars and deformities, the consequences had already taken a significant toll on both her professional trajectory and self-assurance.
