Sami Sheen Told Breast Implant Illness Is 'Not a Real Thing’ Despite Symptoms

Sami Sheen is ready to feel better again after discovering she may have breast implant illness. 

“I was just having the worst stomach issues, and that’s when I started getting different allergies to different things like certain foods or drinks,” Sheen, 21, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, June 25, when describing her symptoms. “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ Then, over the years, I’ve just gotten so exhausted every day.”

Sheen — who received her breast implants in 2023 — said she has experienced health issues for two years.

Now, she believes her body was “rejecting [the implant] the whole time.”

“It just kind of got to a point where I was like, ‘OK, I’m so tired of feeling like this. I want an answer,” Sheen explained. “It literally just hit me where I was like, ‘OK, it’s my implants.’”

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ oldest daughter said she has done a lot of research to figure out what was going on with her body.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, researchers are just starting to study breast implant illness. As a result, it isn’t recognized as an official medical diagnosis just yet.

While meeting with professional doctors, the Denise Richards and Her Wild Things star said she was faced with some doubt about her situation.

“I’ve even talked to some surgeons, and they’ve told me that breast implant illness is not a real thing, and there’s no way I’m sick from them and just completely invalidating everything I’ve been feeling,” she said. “It’s kind of frustrating. … But the only way of really figuring it out is by getting them removed. There is no real diagnosis, which kind of sucks.”

Sami has decided to share her journey on social media in hopes of raising awareness. She also hopes other women feel less alone if they are dealing with discomfort after getting breast implants.

The influencer said she has faced her “lowest moments” recently as she experienced symptoms of chronic fatigue, vertigo and itchy skin.

Once she gets the surgery to have her implants removed, she hopes to wake up “feeling like a million bucks.”

“It’s definitely gonna be really hard having to say bye to [my implants] and going back to square one,” Sami shared. “But I have a feeling I’m gonna wake up feeling so much better and if I don’t, then I clearly have something else going on.”
