Jersey Shore sensation Snooki has opened up about the immense pain she felt after getting breast implants in 2016. The 38-year-old former MTV personality, who has been promoting Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, was a guest on Kristin Cavallari's Let's Be Honest podcast on Tuesday. She compared the weight of her augmented chest to a 'dump truck' while speaking candidly about cosmetic surgery.
'I woke up and it was like [there was] a dump truck on my [chest],' she detailed. 'I couldn't breathe. I was freaking out.' The mom of three described, 'There was like, a hole in my nipple. I was like, what is that? There were guts coming out.' Cavallari, who has also undergone a breast augmentation, agreed, 'It does feel heavy. It does feel like a bus is sitting on your chest.'
'But I want to do that again eventually,' Snooki, real name Nicole Polizzi, said about giving her chest a surgical touch-up. The former Laguna Beach star, 39, added, 'I know, I just re-did mine. It's worth it.' 'These are 11 years old,' Snooki pointed out about her boob job.
In October 2016 she shared her decision to get implants in a YouTube video, calling it a 'little mommy makeover' after having her son Lorenzo, 13, and daughter Giovanna, 11, with husband Jionni LaValle. The reality TV star later gave birth to son Angelo, who turns seven on May 30, in 2019. 'Being a mom, your boobs are destroyed after having kids, especially breastfeeding,' she said at the time. 'I want to be hot for my husband, but I also want to feel great about myself, and it was an insecurity that I had.' Her makeover brought her breasts to 'a nice full C' cup she told her online audience nearly 10 years ago.
In February Snooki took to social media to tell fans she was diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer. She optimistically added that it was 'caught early' and 'curable.' After undergoing a cone biopsy, she told fans, 'It came back [as] stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma. [It's] obviously not the news I've been hoping for, but also not the worst news, just because they caught it so early. Thank freaking God!' And she urged her female followers to get pap smears. 'I'm 38 years old and I've been struggling with abnormal pap smears for three or four years now, and now look at me,' she warned. 'Instead of putting it off because I didn't want to go, because I was hurt and scared, I just went and did it. And it was there, cancer is in there. But it's stage 1 and it's curable.' She added, 'So get your appointments done, b****es! I'm telling you! Once you go to stage 2, then you have to do chemo... nobody wants to do that! It's scary. So get your appointments done.'
