Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook has publicly revealed the dramatic results of her extensive reconstructive facial surgery, spotted out in London on Thursday looking in positive spirits. The 52-year-old television personality, who has undergone multiple operations to address her 'collapsing' face caused by previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis, showcased the outcome of her latest procedures.
Comprehensive Surgical Transformation
Westbrook recently traveled to Dubai for reconstructive surgery that included a full face, neck, and brow lift, alongside lip and nose reconstruction. The star was photographed makeup-free with a fresh blowout hairstyle, dressed casually in a black jumper, jeans, and white trainers while carrying a designer Gucci handbag and wearing large overhead headphones.
Medical Journey and Recovery
The surgery represents a significant milestone for Westbrook, who has struggled for years with a collapsed septum and related health complications. Her surgeon, Dr. Parviz Sadigh, who has performed previous operations on the actress, undertook this latest effort to rebuild her facial structure.
"Three more nose operations to go. So we're over half way there now," Westbrook shared last month. "Facelift has really changed me and given me my confidence back."
Career Impact and Health Challenges
The actress was recently recast in the film "Tales From The Trap" after being rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties in December. Insiders revealed the star, who hasn't appeared in film or television since 2016, faced respiratory struggles that forced her to seek medical attention and withdraw from the production.
Westbrook found fame at age 16 on EastEnders but saw her contract terminated due to cocaine use, with producers writing her out of the soap in 1996. She has spoken openly about her addiction, estimating she spent approximately £250,000 on the drug during her struggles.
Long Road to Reconstruction
Last year, Westbrook announced she was finally getting her face rebuilt through what she described as "very long" surgery. In 2023, she admitted disliking the results of previous facial reconstruction attempts, having waited seven years to find a surgeon willing to operate due to her septum's condition.
The actress last appeared on television during Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, where she reached the final and finished in fifth place. Her recent London outing followed morning hospital check-ups and a visit to a Mayfair hairdresser, with Westbrook sharing her appreciation for her medical team and stylists on social media.
