Overview
- Benaissa says she wore breast implants for about 20 years and had them removed in February 2024 after imaging raised concern about a left-sided rupture.
- During the explantation she reports surgeons confirmed a left rupture and found the right implant had decomposed with implant material in surrounding breast tissue.
- The operation lasted nearly three hours, almost double the planned time, because doctors needed to remove dispersed material and address the unexpected damage.
- Before removal she experienced severe breast pain, swollen finger and ankle joints, and depressive episodes, and she says recovery left her mentally and physically “pretty down.”
- Benaissa now regrets the original augmentation, criticizes the pre-op information she received, warns other women against cosmetic surgery, and will discuss the issue publicly ahead of entering Promi Big Brother on October 5, 2026; the medical details reported are drawn from her interviews and have not been independently verified in the coverage.
