She lost almost half of her blood and had to be treated in hospital: The model and former playmate Crystal Hefner reported about a cosmetic operation that almost killed her.
"I almost didn't make it," wrote the widow of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner on Instagram.
The 34-year-old published a picture that shows her visibly weakened and with her breasts bandaged.
According to Hefner, the operation took place on October 16 last year.
You have had a fat transfer.
Typically, fatty tissue is removed from one part of the patient's body and implanted in another location, for example in the breast.
For Hefner, the operation ended with blood transfusions in the intensive care unit.
Since then, she has only recovered slowly, wrote Hefner.
"I'm finally feeling okay again."
Actually, Hefner had apparently already decided in 2016 to renounce the beauty craze.
She had her breast implants removed because she believed that they would make her sick.
"I should have learned my lesson back then, but apparently the universe sends you the same lesson until you understand it," Hefner said in her post.
The model addressed other women with clear words.
"Our culture is a trap," wrote Hefner.
It makes women feel terrible about their bodies.
Social media, movies, and advertising made things worse.
As a "physically fake person", she herself had part of it, announced Hefner.
"I am sorry for the next generation, which is modeled on people whose appearance cannot be achieved without filters, make-up and money," says Hefner.
She also sees it as a reminder of herself. "Women have to stop playing the game."
