My breast implants made me go blind —I had to have them removed

These implants were certainly eye-popping.

A British mom says she was left temporarily blind after going under the knife to get DD-sized breast implants at the age of 19.

Danielle Sheehan, now 32, had the artificial assets inserted after winning a $6000 beauty makeover back in 2010.

At the time, the teen — who started out as a C cup — was working as a model and believed a big bust would help further her career.

But shortly after having the implants inserted, Sheehan says she started to experience eczema flare-ups.

Doctors told her the issue was stress, but the skin condition never subsided.

Later, Sheehan began experiencing more health problems, including thinning hair and recently, a terrifying loss of vision following the birth of a baby.

“After I had my son and over the last year, I had constant eczema, weeping skin and dry eyes — I ended up in [the emergency room] because I couldn’t see,” the Brit told SWNS. “I felt like I was slowly dying, and I just didn’t feel well at all.’”

Believing her breast implants were to blame, Sheehan sold her car to fund surgery to have the assets removed.

Afterward, all her ailments immediately evaporated, she said.

“The moment the implants came out I felt so much better,” she declared.

Sheehan believes she suffered from Breast Implant Illness — a condition that the Cleveland Clinic says is “just starting to be studied.”

According to the Clinic, “symptoms of Breast Implant Illness can vary from person to person.”

An explainer on the condition added that “people have reported more than 50 symptoms that impact their musculoskeletal system, ability to think and focus (cognitive symptoms) and overall body (systemic symptoms).”

Meanwhile, information published by the British government in January 2020 revealed that experts were aware of BII and were investigating.

The government’s Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency declared that they did not currently know whether “there is a link between breast implants and the reported health problems” — but did not rule it out.

For years, many in the medical community dismissed claims that breast implants could cause health problems.

However, in 2021, celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn spoke out, saying he believed BII was real.

“Throughout my training, I was told [Breast Implant Illness] was hogwash — and that’s what I believed,” Dr. Youn told The Post. “Plastic surgery literature is not supportive of the notion of Breast Implant Illness.”

Still, Youn says most women who opt to go under the knife experience no adverse affects.

“A vast majority of my patients tolerate breast implants just fine,” he told The Post.

No official diagnosis of Breast Implant Illness can be given, but patients who have ruled out all other possibilities of cause of their symptoms with their primary care physician and specialists.

As for Sheehan, she says she is on a mission to raise awareness about BII so other women don’t have to experience the harrowing health problems she has endured.

“I feel safe in my body now, I feel emotionally stable, the rashes around my eyes have gone and the eczema is trailing off now,” she stated.

“I don’t think anyone would know – you never would put hair loss and rashes down to having implants,” she said.

The mom has even taken to TikTok to share information about BII, and has been contacted by other women who also experienced the same phenomenon.

“So many girls have messaged me since seeing my video on TikTok … to say they’re getting a consultation to get their implants removed,” Sheehan stated.
