'Botched' Season 6: Tiffany 'New York' Pollard warns people about Breast Implant Illness as she gets her implants removed
Tiffany ''New York'' Pollard is proud of her assets, but recently she has been second-guessing the decision of getting them in the first place. In the season premiere of the sixth installment of 'Botched', Pollard makes a return on the show to meet plastic surgeons Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow after she worries that her breast implants might be the reason she was feeling sick.
Talking to her friend, Aktion, Pollard revealed that she wasn't feeling herself lately as she would often wake up with diarrhea, nausea, and weakness taking over her by the end of the day. While Pollard was sure that the sickness had something to do with her breast implants, the other plastic surgeons thought otherwise.
After being dismissed by countless plastic surgeons, Pollard decides to head to meet Nassif and Dubrow for consultation. She told them that one of her friends got her breast implants removed and felt much better as there was a scare about Breast Implant Illness (BII) that was going around.
Dubrow revealed that nearly 46,000 women had come with the same complaints and added that with numbers being so high, there was no doubt that it was a "real thing". "The most rapidly expanding part of my practice is taking out breast implants for patients who think they might have breast implant illness," revealed Dr. Dubrow. "The truth is when you put a foreign body into a human it can have a lot of reaction to it and you can get a lot of things that we are seeing in Tiffany."
While Dr. Dubrow agrees to do her plastic surgery he puts forward a condition for Pollard to follow. He advises her to use her platform and educate people on how plastic surgery is not important and how there are many side effects of getting one. Pollard agrees immediately and goes ahead with the procedure.
While Pollard was worried that she would lose her confidence after getting her implants taken out, she was surprised that she felt more beautiful and like herself after the surgery. As promised, Pollard decided to use her platform for the good and talk to people about plastic surgery.
Pollard opened up about Breast Implant Illness during one of her interviews and explained how her life had changed after getting her implants removed. She further advised people on how the implant can affect one's health and why people should think before making a big decision.
'Botched' airs on Tuesdays at 10 pm on E!
