Kristin Cavallari trusted her gut, which likely saved her from a bigger problem.

The Laguna Beach alum, 38, revealed on her Let’s Be Honest podcast that a recent decision to revisit her plastic surgeon led to the discovery of a ruptured breast implant. What started as a vague feeling that something was off turned into a medical issue she hadn’t seen coming.

“I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do,” Cavallari said, recalling her visit to a Nashville surgeon. But once the doctor examined her, she realized her body had been quietly flagging a problem she hadn’t fully noticed. Her right breast looked different, though she chalked it up to aging or the effects of breastfeeding.

A Rupture, Scar Tissue, And A Needed Change

Cavallari’s surgeon expressed concern during the consultation, and together they agreed to proceed with surgery to investigate further. Once inside, the doctor found a ruptured implant and a significant amount of scar tissue built up around it. The tissue had formed as the body’s natural response to contain the rupture, a discovery Cavallari described as “crazy” given how unaware she had been of any rupture.

While some women might have opted to remove their implants entirely after such a scare, Cavallari made a different call. She chose to replace them, even slightly increasing the size from 300cc to 340cc. “I love being able to not wear a bra in a shirt, and I love how I feel when I take my shirt off in a relationship,” she said. “Doing my boobs is one of the best things I’ve ever done.”

Cavallari also pointed out that motherhood played a significant role in her original choice to undergo augmentation. Cavallari offered a word of advice: wait until after having kids. “Breastfeeding three kids is what ultimately made me decide to get a boob job,” she said, referring to her children with ex-husband Jay Cutler.

Despite the health scare, she emphasized feeling great about her decision and confident in her appearance. While she acknowledged that not everyone would relate to her choice, she clarified that it was right for her at this point in her life.

Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair has admitted regrets over his illegal hit to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the ensuing brawl between the teams in a lengthy statement on social media.  

Al-Shaair’s statement comes as his three-game suspension as a result of the incident has ended and he is slated to return to the field for the Texans on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

On December 1, an Al-Shaair hit to the head of a sliding and defenseless Lawrence caused chaos in Jacksonville. The defensive back needed to be restrained by several coaches and Lawrence has not played since taking the barbaric contact.

‘While so many jumped at the first opportunity to hop on the false narrative – that l’m a dirty player or bad person – the messages from all who stood by me were the only things keeping me mentally afloat during a time of isolation,’ Al-Shaair said on social media.

‘I’ve learned so much from this entire experience. Seeing myself on video – letting my emotions get the best of me to the point where I completely lost it – was an embarrassing and eye-opening moment for me.’

‘I’ve had to earn everything in my life. I never want to allow anyone to get me to a point where I jeopardize everything that I’ve worked all my life to obtain. That was not the way I want to represent myself or my family and I will continue to learn and grow from that moment.’

The Texans defensive back was suspended for three games as a result of the hit to Lawrence

Al-Shaair said during his three-game ban, he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league executives for the first time, taking issue with how he was characterized in the official announcement of his suspension.

The defender said he thought his character and integrity were ‘unjustifiably smeared’ in the release but the meeting with Goodell and others was ‘productive’ and gave him hope it would not happen again.

‘In that conversation – man-to-man – I owned and acknowledged that my actions following my ejection were careless and, in that moment, I didn’t think about the responsibility I have been blessed with to represent the shield,’ Al-Shaair continued.

‘I also stated that the letter, and specifically the language used in the letter, was equally as careless and conveyed that the context of the words used were not a reflection of my character, nor my career, as I have not been warned multiple times for my play on the field.’

Al-Shaair’s hit on Lawrence was not the only controversial incident he was involved in this season.

During the Texans’ game against the Bears in September, he punched Roschon Johnson, who wasn’t even in the game at the time of another sideline confrontation.

Al-Shaair ended his statement by saying his view is that everyone in the league office and on the field are on the same team to represent the NFL in the best nature possible, something he failed to do earlier this month.

‘Lastly, I’ll say that this world is full of negative people who can’t wait to tear you down, but if you move with love and compassion, the seeds of good you planted in others’ lives can grow into the very tree that shades you with comfort and compassion when you need it most,’ Al-Shaair concluded.

‘I am a man of God, I am a leader, a warrior and a lover. I am also a hell of a football player and I’m grateful to be back doing what I love.’
