The actress, 54, ruptured both of her breast implants while competing on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test<\/a> season 3, and received a revision surgery. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/a> star opened up about her decision to undergo the surgery in an Instagram video she posted on Wednesday, Aug. 27.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter over a year of struggling with issues involving my implants, I finally feel healthy and confident in my body,\u201d she wrote in the caption.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\u201cTo anyone out there navigating something similar – I\u2019m sharing this because I\u2019ve been there. You deserve to feel your best, and I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate everything and to find the right people you can trust,\u201d she continued.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

As she concluded, she said that she\u2019s had implants since she was 19, and remarked how open she can be about the surgery all these years later. \u201cBack then in the \u201990s, we were all much more private than we are now. I\u2019m so grateful that today we can be more open, support one another and share our experiences. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\udc9b.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

In January, Richards detailed the incident during an interview on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live<\/a>. \u201cI jumped off a bridge, too \u2014 and that’s when I ruptured my [breast] implants \u2014 off of that thing,” Richards said. She noted that the “harness” she was wearing for the jump was to blame for the rupture, which affected “both” of her breast implants.\n<\/p>\n

She told Entertainment Weekly that after the incident, she \u201cwanted to see a doctor.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to make sure that I was okay to continue with the weight and doing stuff,” she told the outlet, pointing out that the participants were carrying heavy packs of supplies at all times.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

“I wanted to make sure I didn’t damage the hernias. I knew the implants, and that was something I knew I could still continue [with]. I was too embarrassed to even say anything about those. But it was where I had my surgery before with my hernias that I wanted to make sure.”\n<\/p>\n

Despite suffering from the incident, Richards said she\u2019s \u201cvery proud\u201d of herself. “I had the guts to jump off a bridge\u2026 I was so happy. Even though I couldn’t climb in that helicopter, I was very happy. I was able to at least grab on and hang from there. I never in a million years thought I could do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW Denise Richards opens up about how her recent breast implant surgery makes her feel more…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-103297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
