Kristin Cavallari discovers ruptured breast implant during surgery

Kristin Cavallari wanted to change the appearance of her breast implants and learned that one had ruptured, leading to surgery to fix it.

During a recent episode of her "Let's Be Honest" podcast, Cavallari opened up about her right breast implant not "laying properly," which prompted her to get a consultation to have her implants redone.

"Things happen so gradually. There wasn't a moment where I was like, ‘My boobs look different,’ or, like, ‘My boobs aren't laying right.’ I knew that my boobs were not laying how I wanted them to lay," she said, initially believing gravity was the reason she was unhappy with her breasts.

The "Laguna Beach" alum continued, "Particularly, the right one was not… and I thought like maybe gravity over time had taken hold, but it just wasn't how I wanted it, right? It just wasn't ideal."

Ahead of a photoshoot for her Uncommon James brand, Cavallari decided to get her breasts redone. It wasn't until after her surgery that she learned of her ruptured implant.

"I had a ruptured implant, which is crazy to think about."

"There is no way of knowing how long this implant was ruptured for. My body then formed a huge piece of scar tissue around it… that's why my right boob was definitely not laying right, and it was f—– up. 

"I had a ruptured implant, which is crazy to think about," she said on her podcast.

Cavallari joked that she could look through her camera roll on her iPhone to figure out when her breasts began to look "a little f—— cross-eyed."

Even with the health scare, the reality television star isn't "ready" to remove her implants.

"I was not ready to take out my implants. I'm 38. I'm still young. I have a whole life to live, I'm single," Cavallari explained.

Cavallari, who most recently split from NHL star Nate Thompson in March, went on to emphasize that she is currently not in a serious relationship.

"I'm single. If I were in a long-term relationship, maybe I would take out my implants. I don't know, but I'm single right now.

"Right now in my life is when I need the best boobs imaginable. And so, you know, I'm sure some people won't understand that and that's OK — because it's not your body," Cavallari said.
