Our photo agencies keep catching Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott outside of massage parlors. That’s an expensive habit. These two are supposed to be broke, but Tori refuses to change her spending habits. I feel sorry for the poor masseuses who have to deal with these two fakedy fakers.
More tales of woe are spilling forth from True Tori. The last we heard, Dean was quitting the show after this season. He’s tired of being villified and set up for false-alarm vasectomies. Tori still has more tricks up her shirt. She’s already shown us her storage vaults of junk that she can’t throw away. Now she’s dealing with a different sort of expired good: Her breast implants. Tori says her pair should have been removed 15 years ago. She visited a plastic surgeon who said she has stage-3 hardening, and “it’s almost as bad as it could get.” Tori worries that losing her implants would make her less attractive to Dean:
Tori: “How are you going to feel about me having flaps there?”
Dean: “I’m all for taking a boob break. Your body needs a break.”
Tori: “Why don’t we put them in a glass dome and I could that on a wall next to my first bouquet from my marriage?”
Dean: “Things are expired, going to recall.”
Tori: “My boobs. They’re expired and recalled.”
[Later …]
Tori: “If someone had said to me when I was 20 years old, ”by the way, every 10 to 15 years you’re going to need to get these suckers replaced” I wouldn’t have done it I have the biggest fear of going under for surgery. I’m so scared of being put to sleep. Now I’m all riled up, I just want to stick a knife in there and cut them out myself.”
[From Lifetime – True Tori]
If Tori’s implants are truly “expired” by 15 years, she’s lucky they didn’t burst or leak. Do they really have to be replaced on a regular basis? Tori’s implants were probably a very early version, but the math doesn’t make sense. She got implants when she was 20. Tori is 41 now. There’s no way these puppies are 15 years overdue for replacement. Tori exaggerates everything, so it’s hard to take her seriously.
Tori and Dean also visited Dr. Oz a few days ago. Tori says her recent hospital visit was “rock bottom” because her kids “weren’t even fazed by me being in the hospital. They’re used to it.”
Hollywood Life has details from the next episode of True Tori. Dean drops a pumpkin on little Hattie’s head. These two, I swear.

Maybe things were different 21 years ago, but doctors do tell you that they need to be replaced (at least the saline ones do, and at that time I think the silicone ones were temporarily off the market), every ten years. So, she’s probably 11-12 years overdue, and also, a whiny idiot.
I just did some reading, apparently it’s a myth that saline implants need replacing every decade and they should just be replaced when needed. Learned something today.
Not a myth. 10 years is the recommendation, though I’ve heard of them lasting far longer than that. Tori looks like hers NEED to be replaced though.
this is true, funny but as a true mass culture junkie I researched the issue. and the implants (any breast implants) need to be replaced only if there is leakage. Toei’s implants probably need to be replaced also cos she has a huge dent in her chest! also doctors do try to create demand, especially in the plastic surgery department
I think she’s exaggerating. Several of my co-workers have implants, and what they have described is a possible need for a boost of sorts versus an outright replacement after 10 years or so.
Like tooth veneers, implants should be replaced every 10 years. Yes, one could go longer between replacements, but a good dentist or doctor will tell the patient what is recommended for optimum results. That’s one of the reasons I have avoided getting a small implant in one of my breasts to even them out; I didn’t want to sign myself up for additional surgeries over my lifetime.
Every ten years, ask any plastic surgeon, look into augmentation, it’s one of the first things they will tell you. Most implants, even hips and knees, have a limited life span in the body. Once you have any implant you need to continue to follow up with your doctor for routine evaluation, implants can last longer but, like anything else, you want to be aware of their limitations when you buy them.
Under typical circumstances, they MAY need to be replaced ever 10 years, no matter the type due to scar tissue, possible leakage, etc. I think that what really needs to be disclosed is what exactly is involved in mammograms once one gets implants.
I seem to have to ‘reply’ as I can find NO way to simply ‘comment’, so I apologize! My comment is simply that nothing, and I mean nothing that she has done, including removing them and having ‘flaps’ as she calls them, would be as horrific looking as what she has now. I cannot for one minute understand how she is able to wear low-cut outfits and let that nasty dent on her chest stick out like a sore thumb. Take them out, PLEASE!!
Rich people problems. … j/k.
But I do feel bad for the kids.
This. A 1,000+ times over.
Aims, BooBoo: came here EXACTLY to say this. I truly feel bad for these children. They have zero chance.
Honestly didn’t know they came with an expiry date. Do other plastic body parts decay too, like knees or hips?
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that joint replacements are made out materials like ceramic and titanium, made to withstand a lot of wear and tear, and be in there for life. Breast implants, based on what I’ve learned from watching the show Botched, are basically Ziploc bags filled with liquid plastic, so the possibility of leaking, shifting and damage is much higher.
My mom is on her second set of titanium knees. They only last for a certain amount of time and she was in her mid-40’s for the first replacement. She was about 60 for the second time.
Yes on hips. For hips, they suggest people put off that surgery as long as possible as they last around 15 years. Not sure about knees.
I have a stainless/titanium/ceramic knee – should be good for 20 years. Docs prefer not to replace knee before age 70 unless absolutely necessary. It’s harder to fit the 2nd replacement into bone already cut, cemented, etc.
Don’t know much about knees, a quick google says that the replacement joint usually has a lifespan of approximately 20 years.
Regarding hips, depending whether it’s full or partial replacement and the materials used (alloy/plastic combo vs ceramic), cemented replacements are estimated to last for 15-20 years or so, but depending on how active you are, that may decrease by a few years. Even so, 80% of surgeries are reported to pass the 10 year mark, and cementless joints might even last a bit longer, but it hasn’t been definitively proven.
But either way, if you go for a replacement joint, depending on your age you may have to factor in having more surgery down the line to re-do the joint.
That’s why I’m not a good candidate for hip replacement surgery irritatingly, because assuming I keep causing trouble until my eighties (touch wood), I’d need to have the joint replaced at least three times.
Aaand, that’s my off topic ramble for the day, done.
TL:DR – Replacement joints have expiry dates similar to that of twinkies.
Thank you for the info, Amelia. I hope you’re kicking ass into your 80’s as well. I do use Google, but I like asking questions in this forum. I get a variety of answers, opinions, and anecdotes. I find how people think fascinating, and I learn a lot more asking here.
My mother has two artificial hips and one knee, and all are 20-plus years old. However, she has severe RA and had to have hips done (one at a time) first, then they lined up one knee with those replaced hips (the better knee at the time – both were in almost a frozen state). Now, the replaced knee is probably worn out, because it is now the worst joint in terms of discomfort. I doubt an active person’s replacement joints would last as long as hers have. The more wear and tear, supposedly, the less time they last.
People having replacements in their 40s might as well count on at least one more surgery.
I’ve needed a knee replacement since I was barely in my 30’s, but the specialists I saw told me no, I was too young, and they could only do two in a lifetime, and knee replacements have a lifespan of 14 years.
I don’t know if things have changed since then, but that’s what they told me.
“Do other plastic body parts decay too?” If the answer is yes, we might only have to put up with the Kardashians another couple of years.
*has sudden vision of Kim falling to pieces like that guy in “Looper”*
LMAO lucy2.
insomniac, I had a vision of the ending of the movie Death Becomes Her. lol (Won’t spoil it for people who haven’t seen it. If you haven’t, it’s a fabulous comedy with Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, and Meryl Streep in it. lol)
I think it depends on how mobile you are. I have a family member that got knee replacements relatively young and active and had to replace them after only ten years. On an elderly person that just sits around watching TV, they probably last longer.
I think knee replacements have to be redone every 15 – 20 years. That’s one reason they won’t replace the knees of a 30 or 40 year old because over a life time they would have to have them replaced two more times. I have a friend who had one replaced before 40 and had a hard time finding a doctor who would do it.
hips, knees and shoulder replacements, do have to be repeated which is why they wait as long as they can before they do an initial replacement. The wait not only buys time for any need to replace but “new and improved” replacement joints usually have a longer lifespan before they need to be replaced.
Yes. Even organ transplants need replacement over time (not always, but the average life of a transplanted kidney is only about 10 -15 years on average).
Implants have to be replaced regularly and a lot of women don’t consider that when they get them. That said, this story comes from Tori so it’s probably BS. She’s probably just setting the stage to have the implants replaced and the surgery filmed for the show so she can get the whole thing done gratis.
Their kids are cute…that’s the only nice thing I can manage about this pair of idiots
When I would watch 90210, I was always distracted by that large gap in between her breasts. It looked bizarre and terrible…
Let’s not judge other women’s boobs please. Some women have natural far set boobs. Some have close boobs. Some big, some small, some very round, some tear shaped, etc. All of them are great! I feel like I need to make Dr.Seuss style book.
I agree but in Tori’s case we are talking about a huge gape between large fake breasts on a super skinny body and this is not great. Nothing natural here, she chose to look terrible.
Observation =/= judgement. Her weird gap is likely due to her implants hardening.
It’s not judgey. Tori was practically the only actual teenager on that show and she had a very enviable figure . . until the bizarre implants, which were hard to ignore. If her example convinces even one healthy 19 year old not to get implants, then pointing this out was perfectly justified.
Facts are facts, you may deem it judgey but her implants and the artificial appearance of her chest was distracting to her viewers. I’m old enough to remember it well, her pity party is nothing new, back then she was the poor little rich girl on the show and in life. Too homely to be the center of attention and too rich to be ignored, her father forced her on us and evidently encouraged her to think a career in Hollywood was a good idea. She has no talent and is spiraling the drain with her “reality” over exposure, I would feel bad for her but she is privileged enough to have a wonderful life outside the limelight but lacks the sense to seek it.
Bob Loblaw – All good points! People like Tori Spelling and Paris Hilton who are born into fabulous wealth could do so much, or honestly they could just do nothing but enjoy a life of leisure – but when they force themselves into the limelight, they have to take the good with the bad.
The gap only appeared after she got the implants. The implants have always been very obviously too big and ill-planned.
nothing judgy about judging some ill conceived purchased body part, she certainly wasnt born with dorsal fins. she chose them.
Tori has pectus excavatum. It’s a congenital defect. Look it up. You just made fun of someone’s birth defect. Nice.
God, they both look like strung out, shifty, x-list celeb…oh, wait. everything as usual-carry on with the dumf*ckery, you two.
Tori looks like she’s had a botched boob job. She really should consider taking those things out.
she would look 10 times better if she got rid of that god-awful hair. dye it darker, grow it out and go with a wavy hairstyle not stick straight. gain about 10-15 pounds and get her boobs redone. just my superficial opinion. and stop with the hippy dippy style of dressing. sleek and sophisticated would look better on her. why do rich people want to dress like they have no money? If i had money, I would look it.
How do I say this nicely?
I’m just not convinced all those things would help….
HAHAHAHAHA! That was as nice as it could be, considering it’s Tori.
She’s had poor-quality facial plastic surgery too, but she actually looks better in pics without all the warpaint, overdrawn lips, etc.
I just wanted to say that she actually looks so much better (and younger) without that makeup. Where did she get the idea that drawing yourself a pair of new lips looks good?
Now that made me laugh out loud! I do think there’s times when she can look pretty though… Like when she wears glasses because they help even out her long face. The blonde hair needs to go though and the bob she’s rocking lately is cut badly. She is going to get worse with age unfortunately. With her skin and bones body, bad implants, bleached hair, and bad posture…
Agreed!
The never looked right on her she had weird dents they looked strange. Wow the first thing I thought was My Honda Accords airbags were recalled too! Lol! 😉
LOL We could tell they are Tori… matterfact they look like when Mr. Garrison went and got Implants in South Park and Became “Mrs. Garrison” for a while and had those ATROCIOUS hard Boobs.. Please look that up.. total twinzies
YES!! Holy lawd that is spot-on!
And now we can never unsee that… well done, QQ!
Where did she say she should have had them replaced 15 years ago?
Didn’t she say that they have to be replaced every 10-15 years and she got them when she was 20? So yeah, that would make the at least 6 years overdue for replacement.
On her show she said there was a RECALL on them 10-15 years ago.
Yep, they are not lifetime devices, as the implant literature tells you – and I understand Tori’s fear of anesthesia, but this should be a reasonably quick and easy procedure. She should ask her Dr to see some photos of women who’ve had their implants removed. She’ll see they look fine!! And mammograms and exams will be much easier and show clearer results. Best thing I’ve ever done, having mine removed. Mine had burst, and she really needs to act quickly as the hardening from scar tissue that her Dr mentioned makes rupture all the moe likely, if not certain. I had to wear drains for around 10 days, due to the fluid buildup. And for anyone considering getting them – please don’t. They are not worth the risks, which are many (including repeated aneathesias), and are often painful and disfiguring. One of mine healed up too high, and despite several surgeries to replace/correct that, the implants always settled back in that same area. Just. Not. Worth.It.
Well said. I’ve written about my experiences here as a medical professional taking care of women with implant problems – everything from waking up in the morning with a deflated breast, to extreme hardening and health complications. I would never, ever advise a family member or a loved one to get implants for any reason other than post-mastectomy or for a disfiguring cosmetic reason. Women are not wholly informed by their doctors as to the actual long term costs, and the complications are severely underreported. Implants are a cash cow for doctors, and they do everything they can to keep that money coming in.
I agree, my 75 year old mother has leaking implants but is too fragile to consider surgery to remove them, although she enjoyed them for a time, she failed to appreciate the long term health effects they could have for her. I can’t say for sure that they are compromising her health but she suffers from unexplained fatigue and the fact they are leaking is very worrisome.
She looks so brittle. Like hanks of her hair probably fall out when she brushes or styles it. It really looks like she has some kind of vitamin deficiency due to extreme dieting or whatever ‘cleanse’ she does to stay so thin. Rickets? Scurvy? I shudder to think of her bone density.
Yes, it’s true that you need to replace silicone implants around the 10 year mark. And her breasts have looked like they are hardening for many years now (the weird ripples and shaping are a give away), so I do believe the story. I’m sure she’ll get another set of implants to keep Deano happy.
They look terrible. All those years of acting like famewhore douchebags… it’s all catching up to them. Take a look at what they looked like back in 2005, when they first got together: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/vrtvQ5rT5JM/0.jpg.
Okay I’m going to break down implants here since I received mine about a year ago:
1. You technically don’t have to replace them if everything is fine. Their life expectancy is a lot longer now than it was a few years ago I believe. I know a woman with saline implants that she’s had for 11 years and they’re doing just fine. I personally have silicone. Now, if you’ve been in a car accident or had some form of impact hit your breasts, that’s a different story.
2. What Tori has is called Capsular Contracture. If you catch it early on, it can be fixed. If not, then the implants can simply be replaced. However if you’ve had this happen once, it’s most likely to happen again. No one really knows why this happens…you can look up reasons but doctors don’t have a definite answer yet.
3. Getting my implants has probably been the best decision I’ve made in the last few years. I am very happy and I haven’t had any issues (knock on wood). They look wonderful and I feel much more confident when wearing certain clothing now. It’s just a personal decision. And you should always weigh the risk factors before anything else. My doctor explained every single detail to me and he made me feel such at ease. He also had a great sense of humor which made the surgery a lot less stressful 🙂
Not being snarky: looking forward to hearing your story in 20 years and hope it’s as positive as it’s been after Y1.
My saline implants are at year 11 and are better than they were in the first two years. My surgeon said back in 2003 that they only need to be replaced if I have problems. No problems so far. They look like natural breasts due to settling over time. I imagine if you have children some may need to be lifted just like real breasts.
Okay. I’m properly nauseated by the expiration date and don’t care about the woe-rific angle, BUT, holy crap, this, “false-alarm vasectomies.” is really funny.
I’ll tell you a secret: MOST cosmetic surgery needs to be redone on a regular basis. I used to write corporate blog post for a cosmetic surgeon, so I had to look this stuff up. Laser hair removal isn’t permanent; optimal is an 80% reduction, and you will be going back to zap strays every six months or so. With implants, you have the actual material expiring. Saline or silicone implants are essentially plastic bags of fluid, covered by human tissue. How long do you think they’ll last?
The guy who did Dress For Success also investigated plastic surgery and he said while it can help a woman’s career once she reaches her 40’s, you should delay as long as reasonably possible because once done, it needs to be re-done every few years, and the longer you’ve had it the shorter the between tuneup periods gets.
On a recent trip I was pretty much snowed in a house and couldn’t leave for 48 hours. Flipping channels, I stumbled upon a TrueTori marathon, and I watched my first episodes of this train wreck. She was so freaking whiney and annoying–I almost found myself Team Dean. She just was that bad.
Dean and massage parlor sounds like a disaster in the making. No wonder Tori accompanies him
I echo what the other posters here have said – yes, breast jobs are a lifelong commitment. They can need lifted and redone depending on certain factors (age, implant type, weight loss, etc). This being said, I don’t feel bad for Tori because most surgeons make that pretty clear from the get go, and if they don’t, you’re a fool for using that surgeon in the first place. A coworker of mine had them done, and she mentioned that her doctor was very thorough regarding maintenance and other factors surrounding the decision. That is absolutely her fault for going into the process ill informed. Who does that?
It makes me sad that so many women have gotten breast implants. It’s like saying you’re willing to be an object for the male gaze and buys into the idea that a woman’s looks are the most important thing…more important than her health even.
It’s also sad because all these women have been told to look in a mirror and judge themselves harshly, our worth is not only in our appearance, and it is sad that so many of us feel our worth begins and ends with how we look. We weren’t born thinking this way, we were taught to think about ourselves this way and we need to stop it. No true self worth can be purchased in a surgeons office.
Does anyone find it odd that her young daughter is wearing make-up–I’m not talking about that Tinkerbell stuff kids wear–her “face” looks professionally done.
Maybe it’s normal for Hollywood kids to wear makeup at photo shoots?
I’ve had my implants for 5 years, they are silcone and they’re going fine. My doctor told me that unless there are any issues, I shouldn’t need to replace them. I am prepared for the fact I may need to get them re-done at some point, however.
If you go to a good plastic surgeon, you’re unlikely to have any major issues, and if you do – such as capsular contracture – they can fix it. Fortunately I live in a small country where plastic surgery isn’t really a popular ‘thing’ and you have to be highly qualified and certified to do it. They’re also very strict about which implants can be used etc.
