Dita Von Teese got implants because her boobs were ravaged by drugs

I’m a casual fan of Dita Von Teese, and I tend to love how honest and nonchalant she is about subjects that would make other celebrities squeamish. She seems like a throwback performer, and sometimes her quotes sound like something from The Mae West Handbook For Being Awesome. These new quotes, not so much. Dita is talking about her past drug usage and how it ravaged her body in the 1990s. When she was getting clean and getting her body back to a healthy weight, Dita found that her old boobs weren’t really coming back. So she got herself some perky implants:

DITA VON TEESE went under the knife for a boob job at the age of 21 – because years of drug abuse had ravaged her body.

The burlesque beauty admits she began dabbling with illegal substances when she was a teenager, and her habit spiraled out of control throughout the 1990s.

Von Teese confesses the drugs took a major toll on her figure, but seeing herself so gaunt gave her the motivation to kick her addictions and she eventually opted for surgery to repair the damage.

She says, “I was a bit of a party girl in the early ’90s and used LSD and Ecstasy. Eventually my weight dropped to 6stone 7lbs and I looked terrible, so I gave up drugs. My breasts never recovered, so when I was 21 I had 32D implants. Now I‘m a healthy 8 stone and 2 pounds.”

Call me crazy, but I didn’t know Dita had implants. That’s how good the work is – they look natural enough to my eyes, and I’m usually pretty good at spotting implants. I do wonder if she just got the implants put in and that’s it, or whether she’s gotten multiple procedures to keep them looking so perky.

    It’s totally obvious that she has implants. (not in these photos, though)

  2. Jillian says:

    She’s American so why is she giving her weight in stone? She has some of the best implants ever because I thought they were real!

  3. Malorie says:

    ¿YOU DIDN´T KNOW IT? It´s pretty obvious! It´s always been!

  4. fizXgirl314 says:

    her implants actually look good…

  5. Lem says:

    ol girl tries too hard. No one from Michigan should list their weight in stone.

    Go Blow

  6. Lantana says:

    Figured out her 6 stone 7 lb is 91 lbs.

  7. Roma says:

    Contact Music is from the UK, hence her giving her weight in stone.

    She probably said pounds and they converted it.

  8. Ana says:

    You can’t really tell they are fake until she has her top off. But she did have an awesome boob job.

  9. Firestarter says:

    She had good work done, I will give her that.

  10. Just a Poster says:

    Well count me in the “I had no idea” group. She has great Ta Ta’s and her doctor did a wonderful job!

  11. princess pea says:

    AT 21? That’s sad to me. You shouldn’t go under the knife to modify your body when it’s so young, in my opinion. I shouldn’t be surprised, I guess, but I do find it sad.

  12. alfandindi says:

    5ft 6 (167 cm) and she thinks 8 stone 2 (114 pounds) is healthy? Her BMI at that is considered underweight and that isnt even including her implants!

  13. QB says:

    She has always say she had a boob job. Every person haves a different body and she looks healthy for her weight.

  14. jm says:

    Yes her boob job is a good one.

    But please – she needed to go for D implants to make up for weight loss? Gimme a break. SIster wanted to be a stripper, that’s all.

  15. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    Great boobs lady, real or otherwise.

    One does wonder how drugs ravage a person’s boobies rather than the associated weightloss from drug use doing the breasticle ravaging.

  16. Alexa says:

    Thanks to those who posted the stones-to-pounds conversion. Hmmm…I was a 36DD in high school. Now in my mid-40’s I’m more like a 36 or 38 “F” or “G” bra size. They’re “all natural” and extremely HIDEOUS! “Big” & “Real” are not always good things…lol…

  17. girl says:

    I think it is sadder that at 21 there were years of drug use that did such damage to her body to speak about.

  18. kristen says:

    Has anyone been to Michigan? Unless you live near the water, there is literally nothing else to do but get into drugs as a teen. Keeps your nipples from freezing off. I always thought she had naturally awesome boobs. They must look natural because she has a softer body than most rail-thin chicks we see with them. Chicks so thin they prob. wouldn’t have boobs otherwise.

  19. NIKKI says:

    LOL @ JM

  20. Raven says:

    LSD and Ecstasy ravaged her boobs???? Meth and cocaine I’d believe, but that’s just stupid.

  21. TwinkleToes says:

    Lies. Don’t get me started on how I know, re: LSD and E. She just can’t accept that she wasn’t born to her beauty ideal. She’s a plain, ordinary looking woman who is making excuses for it. End of story.

  22. Cat says:

    114?? I’m sorry but I just don’t believe that. She’s too tall and too curvy to weigh so little. She must be 120 at LEAST. I’m 5’4 and I weighed 114 in high school with a small B cup

  23. pickelhaube says:

    Wow, I’m so, SO GLAD I’m not from Michigan, or any other Northern cold as f*ck state. Sounds horrible. I kinda think of Michigan as a worse Ohio, which would make it pretty bad because Ohio is the worst place I have ever been in my entire life. So I guess that explains why she is so pale, there’s no sun up there! Doesn’t explain the fake boobs though…but since I am cursed with bigger boobs, I will never understand why anyone would pay for something that is such a pain. Oh well.

  24. Sumodo says:

    What is this fascination with Dita? I don’t get her at all.

  25. TwinkleToes says:

    I actually found a NSFW video of her and some other girl and the other girl is using a stiletto heeled dildo on her. I didn’t know she did actual porn, I just thought she did Betty Paige type photo ops. Even her hair “down there” is dyed jet black in this video.

  26. hannah says:

    true, the northern states suck. i’m from wisconsin, all we did was drink…gotta stay warm!

  27. bitbrit says:

    LOL @ JM too!

  28. Beachi206 says:

    my Daughter had breast reconstructive surgery at 18 to reduce her DD’s to 34 B’s and she has never regretted it once

  29. lrm says:

    I am always amused when they say ’32’ and then ‘DD’ after that…do they even make bras like that?
    I mean,the normal size for DD is r more like 38,which is petite,to 44,as far as width of the torso or however you describe it.

    I myself have been 36C since high school-at times i’ts been a bit much,at others,seems just the right size. Though when pregnant,before i ever got a stomach,boobs were about the size of torpedos. I had to get refitted in a ginormous nursing bra at like 2 months into pregnancy. The woman reassured me ‘dont worry,your stomach will catch up’…gulp.
    I sympathize w/those who are E,F and beyond! Yikes.

  30. lrm says:

    So,you know,my point is,the ‘number’ of your frame size SHOULD be an indicator of what your body can physically/healthfully support for the ‘letter’ of your cup size. If you are 32,probably a tiny A or AA is appropriate,B at the max.

  31. linda says:

    Well im a 34 DD and it is hell finding a bra, i usually end up with a 36 D my tits are way too big, when i gain weight it goes straight to the tits which means I need to shed some poundage and get back to my 34 c’s now those were nice!!!
    As for the chick in the pic she does not look like she weighs 114 if she does she must have absolutley NO muscle!

  32. stacy says:

    @ Kristen- I have lived in Michigan my whole life. There is plenty to do besides drugs. Its the lazy people that resort to drugs for a good time. You dont have to live near the water, hell its hard not to with all the lakes we have. But anyways…

  33. Oenix says:

    As one cursed – yes, cursed – with naturally bid breasts, frankly, I don’t get why people PAY for implants. Some of the disadvantages:… you have to be very very careful not to look trashy. Forget about wearing some fabrics. Most dresses just don’t fit and you need a 2-pieces set. Except for bathing suits. I have yet to find a bikini that didn’t make me look like a…. at 5’5′ 120lbs, I am a natural 36DDD. Of course many men love it but these same men also don’t see beyond those babies.

  34. RavenMadd says:

    Hannah — you forgot to mention all the really yummy, fattening food that gets washed down with the drink.

    Hibernation season, y’know. That’s why we in Wisco tend to be a bit round ’round the middle.

    But seriously, what is the big deal about her besides that she used to boink Marilyn Manson (and who really cared about that?)

  35. Paulette says:

    I’ll buy her weight estimates, but there’s no way she’s 5’6″. I’d say she’s 5’2″ max in bare feet.

    And ditto the comments on LSD and E – they don’t make you lose or gain weight. The same goes for any other psychedelic.

  36. R says:

    As for the talk of bras- they do make 32DD/32E. Though it is harder since many stores like Victoria’s Secret don’t even carry them. Although most women do not know their correct size (I didn’t either till I got sized- and some places do it wrong even professionally.) One of my sisters and I are both naturally a 32E but it doesn’t look out of proportion because most people do not guess I am a 32DD. Most of the time people guess I am a B-C cup. My sister is 5’6 and around 120 lbs with a very curvy but healthy shape so I don’t find it unbelievable that Dita could be that weight either. I too have to agree that I thought her breast implants look well done- as I feel they are usually extremely obvious and hers don’t look bad.

  37. Vamp girls like dita are really my thing! I cant believe she had to get implants – she looks all natural in most of her photos. I guess it goes to show how good modern technology is these days

  38. Lolalola says:

    Irm,
    You obviously know nothing about breasts…..38 is large, not petite. 32 is petite. I am a 32DDD, on a small frame, natural. The size of your back does in no way correlate to the size of your ta tas.

  39. laola says:

    shes not 5ft 6, shes only 5ft 3!
    🙂

  40. Hi says:

    Wish everyone would shut up about her being too thin or whatever and her bra size being weird. I’m 5ft 3, and I’m a 28-30C depending on where I shop, and I’m perfectly healthy

    Hi friends, good article and good urging commented at this place, I am in fact
    enjoying by these.
