Singer-songwriter Paula Abdul has undergone breast revision surgery to get rid of her implants that were “a little too big” for her body, according to PEOPLE.
She also had to undergo surgery to overcome her years of back pain caused by implants.
The 58-year-old dancer said that her proportions were off after she got the implants.
In a video for InMode, Abdul said, “With my height, I’m petite, I started with smaller breasts and about 20-plus years ago I had implants put in, and the more I was dancing the harder it was getting on my back.”
InMode is a medical device company and Abdul is a brand ambassador of it.
The choreographer also said that the implants were weighing down on her chest.
She said, “As the years go by, gravity happens too, and I just always felt like [they were] a little too big for my frame, and I wanted to get the old implants out.”
In the video that was recorded before the surgery with Dr. Jacob Unger, Abdul said that she’s “nervous” but excited.
Dr. Unger explained in the video that he is going to perform a breast revision surgery on Abdul to remove the old implants, tighten her skin and lift her breasts, according to PEOPLE.
He said he will also potentially add in new, smaller implants, “but we want to make sure we can reshape the breasts very well and get the best overall shape and contour to match your frame.”
Abdul said, “I’m very excited. This is going to be great.”
The singer has previously undergone plastic surgery with InMode to tighten the skin on her arms.
In 2019, she told PEOPLE, “I wanted to do something for myself. I’ve had multiple spinal cord injuries and paralysis, and because my arms had paralysis, the muscles atrophied.”
“I work out a lot, and no matter how many times I hit the gym and did bicep and tricep workouts, it was always difficult because I had to rebuild muscle tissue,” she added.
Abdul said she underwent plastic surgery to enhance her natural looks, and not to pretend that she has not aged. She said, “I feel like I’m aging as gracefully as one can be, with a healthy outlook. Dancing with passion everyday keeps that going. Aging is inevitable, and I haven’t really put too much pressure on it.”
