DANNIELLA WESTBROOK, who had been suffering from severe pain over a period of days, rushed to the hospital in search of help.
She revealed the agony she felt when returning to Portugal after major surgery on her face in Turkey.
Danniella told her followers: “Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery only to end up in hospital.
“The pain I’ve experienced is unreal, most frightening few days. Need it like a hole in the head, literally.”
The EastEnders icon went under the knife in Turkey earlier this month and shared the gory post operation photos exclusively with Central Recorder.
Sharing details of the procedure, Danniella said: “For the facial reconstruction I had a surgical thread lift where they put 1200 threads into my face.
Then, I underwent liposuction in order to reduce the fat on my cheeks, lips, and body. This made my face look more balanced. It was also used to straighten my nose. “I had fat grafting done on my chin, and I also had my jawline etched.”
It’s been a long time coming for Danniella who had been planning the surgery for years.
She had to do it right because of her drug abuse history to prevent her from failing her recovery. Painkillers used after surgery may cause an addict to relapse.
Her surgery comes after she was left with crumbling bones in her nose and a collapsed jaw and cheekbones due to years of cocaine addiction.
