Danniella Westbrook, the former EastEnders star, has revealed the full scale of the surgeries she faces to fully reconstruct her face â and itâs nothing short of daunting. At 52, Danniella has endured years of cosmetic and reconstructive work after cocaine addiction left her facial bones eroded.
Speaking on Channel 5âs Vanessa, she candidly shared the details: âWell, Iâve been through umpteen surgeries. I think Iâm coming up to surgery number six at the moment⊠so itâs quite scary.â And the journey isnât over: âAbout another six to go I think after this one⊠another 18 months of surgery after surgery after surgery.â đł
Danniella described how some procedures involve major reconstructions: hair lip reversals, metal cheekbones, and internal flaps to rebuild areas where bone has corroded. âEven now, Iâve just recently had to have a facelift to realign both sides of my face⊠not for cosmetic reasons, but just to get things in the right place,â she said.
The star admitted the emotional toll of the process is heavy. âI hate looking in the mirror⊠I hate it. I just want to fix this so I can feel like myself again.â
Despite the challenges, Danniella remains determined to reclaim her life and career. Her ultimate goal? To return to acting once her reconstructive journey is complete, ready to face the screen with the confidence sheâs fought so hard to regain. đȘâš
