Genevieve Padalecki Gets Candid About Her Breast Implants Impacting Her Health

Genevieve Padalecki has opened up about the impact of her breast implants on her health.

When the actress got the cosmetic procedure done, she did not expect it to hurt her health and general well-being. However, that was what happened, resulting in the complete removal of the implants and a new lease on life.

Padalecki, who has been in the eyes of the public since her TV debut, has spoken candidly about why she took out her breast implants soon after getting them. The "Wildfire" star addressed the incident during her time on Peggy Rometo and Kimberly Van Der Beek's "Bathroom Chronicles" podcast, where she noted that her troubles began after she noticed this "shift" in her body at age 40.

She explained that even though mothers did not care what anyone thought, it sometimes got to a point where they missed what their bodies looked like before children. "I wanted to just build upon my appearance and just feel good, and I got consults to get breast implants," the "Supernatural" guest star continued, adding that she had "many, many consults" before she finally decided:

"I want to look good for me. I want to experience what that feels like and what that looks like."

After listening to the doctor cautioning her against getting the implants, becoming "aware of the pros and the cons," and "going back and forth" with herself, the mother-of-three ultimately decided to follow through. She said:

"I got breast implants done a year and a half ago, and I felt great. I felt very sexy. They were the exact same size as my breast used to be before breastfeeding, so it didn't feel that different."

However, less than a month after the procedure, the 42-year-old beauty began noticing bodily changes that "didn't feel quite right." The first symptom was her getting tired after jogging for "more than two or three miles," despite her running history.  

That continued as she made family-related excuses for her lack of endurance until she realized, "I can't run. This is weird." As she made that realization, other symptoms began sticking out to Padalecki, including some "weird pains" in her joints. 

A hospital visit and a breast scan eventually revealed that her lymph nodes were "really inflamed." She explained that although she did not feel sick, her "body was just starting to feel inflamed, and it just didn't feel right."

At that point, the "Kids in America" star decided to undo the implant procedure, especially since she wanted to return to doing the things she enjoyed, like running. The decision paid off as she experienced a "pretty profound" turnaround— she ran for six miles two weeks later, a feat that she had been unable to achieve "in at least a year." After mentioning that she no longer had joint pains, Paladecki said:

"I feel very different. I feel like I'm in my body. My body is not inflamed. I feel normal. I feel like I can move the way I used to be able to move. So for me, it was the right decision."

The inability to have the body she wanted has not affected the actress' love for her husband, Jared Padalecki body. The Blast observed that she shared a steamy selfie of the former "Gilmore Girls" actor and his pecs alongside this question: 

"Thinking of repainting our walls. Which one looks better here: white tie or matchstick?"

As expected, the Instagram caption swayed her fans, who drooled over the hunk in the comments, with one quipping, "You have walls? Where?" The actor joined the fun when he asked his beloved wife not to talk about his "matchstick on the internet."

According to an April 2022 article from The Blast, Jared expressed his gratitude to his fans for showering him with love following a car accident. The "New York Minute" star had taken to Twitter, where he typed:

"Hey y'all! I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love. I'm definitely on the mend and hoping to return to filming later this week. I'm so lucky to have had the best care and be surrounded by people who love me. So grateful for everyone?."

The tweet quickly gained traction, receiving 31.1k likes and over two thousand retweets, with numerous people also stepping into the replies and quotes to express their joy that the father-of-three was recovering from the crash. 

In case you missed it, Jared's fans had started dropping well-wishes alongside the hashtags "WeLoveYouJaredPadalecki," "GetWellSoonJared," and "SPNFamily," amongst others to show him, love after the news of his accident went public.
