Ashley Tisdale has had her breast implants removed.
The former 'High School Musical' star has revealed she got her implants removed last winter after experiencing unexplained "minor health issues", and said her goal in getting them taken out was to live a more "non-toxic life" and embrace her natural body.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Ashley wrote: "Hey guys, this is probably the most personal post I've ever shared. As you know, I've been very open about my mental health journey and feel that this is equally important. Years ago I underwent breast enhancement surgery. Prior to the surgery, I constantly felt my body was less than, and thought this change would make me feel more whole and more secure about myself. And for a short period of time...it did. But little by little I began struggling with minor health issues that just were not adding up--food sensitivities as well as gut issues (full story on @frenshe) that I thought could be caused by my implants. So, last winter I decided to undergo implant removal. (sic)"
The 35-year-old actress has been on a journey of "self-discovery and self-acceptance" since undergoing her operation to have the implants removed, but insists she doesn't "regret" having her chest enhanced.
Ashley also used the post to promote her health and wellness website Frenshe, where she hopes to educate others on the importance of living a non-toxic life.
She added: "This journey has been one of growth, self discovery, self acceptance and most importantly self-love. This picture above was taken two months after my explant surgery and I think you can tell just how happy I am to finally be fully me.
"Over the years I've met with many holistic and non-holistic doctors and learned the importance of living a non-toxic life. I'm super excited to share with you what I've learned thus far, and would love for you to take this journey with me by following @frenshe, where we take an honest approach to our well-being and openly speak to health, beauty and everything in between. I can't say I'm the proudest of the choices I made in the past but I don't regret it because it got me here today. Love you all! @frenshe is NOW LIVE!! (sic)"
