Nikki Bella experienced damage to her breast implants during the July 28 episode of Raw, and she’s now choosing to turn the setback into an opportunity by opting for larger implants. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bella shared that after an MRI scan, her doctor found her overall condition to be good but noticed some minor changes. Reflecting on a previous implant surgery, she revealed that she had an implant placed in her pectoral muscle that had actually ruptured.
Bella explained, “The crazy thing is, the MRI showed everything was mostly fine, but they did spot a slight change. It made sense because when I had my pectoralis major muscle repaired a few years ago—something recommended every decade for health reasons—my muscle was actually holding up my broken implant. It was pretty wild.”
After becoming a mother, Bella initially thought about downsizing her implants but later decided she wanted a larger size instead. She now views this implant damage as the perfect reason to make that change and plans to address it when the timing feels right. She said, “I think I was just tired at the time and initially wanted a smaller size after becoming a mom. But now, I feel like I have the perfect excuse to go bigger, and I’ll get it fixed when the time comes.”
Though the injury could have been serious, Bella is embracing the situation as an opportunity to pursue the look that makes her feel confident—something that ultimately matters most to her.
