IndyCar: Danica Patrick had breast implants removed

Former IndyCar and NASCAR star Danica Patrick has had her breast implants removed after suffering several severe symptoms she believes were caused by the surgery.

Patrick’s big win came at the Motegi, Japan IndyCar race, and the series made her into a media darling – their big hero. Then she dumped IndyCar like a hot potato and went for the big money in NASCAR, as about half the IndyCar drivers have to buy their ride.

Patrick made a lot of money by moving from IndyCar to NASCAR, but her only big win was in IndyCar as NASCAR turned out to be difficult.

“I wasn’t sure I was ready to share this…. but then I remembered that true vulnerability is sharing something you’re not really ready to. So here it is,” Patrick, 40, began a lengthy Instagram post detailing her breast augmentation and why she ultimately chose to have her implants removed.

“I got breast implants November of 2014. I got them because I want to have it all. I was really fit, but I didn’t have boobs. So I got them,” she revealed. “Everything went well, and I was happy with them. Fast forward about 3 years to early 2018, and I noticed that my hair was not as healthy and was breaking off. I also gained a few pounds and had no luck losing it.”

By 2020, the racing pro claims that “the wheels came off” with her symptoms, providing an extensive list of prodromes she suffered, including hypothyroidism, heavy metal toxicity, adrenal fatigue, temperature sensitivity, face swelling, weight gain and hair loss.

“I had them removed on Wednesday,” she continued within the caption beside a split image of Patrick before and after her surgery.
