Danniella Westbrook shows off ‘new face’ after Dubai surgery but needs three more operations
- Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook has shown off her ‘new face’ after recent cosmetic surgery in Dubai, but still needs three more operations.
- The 52-year-old actress looked confident and happy in filtered snaps, telling followers: “Three more nose operations to go. Facelift has really changed me and given me my confidence back.”
- The surgery is helping to rebuild her face after years of historic drug abuse damaged her nose and cheekbones.
- She was seen leaving the Dubai clinic in a wheelchair with facial compression garments, but praised surgeon Dr Parviz Sadigh for ‘working miracles’.
- Danniella became addicted to cocaine at 14 after finding fame as Sam Mitchell in EastEnders. She estimates spending £250,000 on drugs and consumed five grams daily while pregnant with her son Kai.
- The years of abuse led to the collapse of her septum and facial structure. Despite online trolling about her appearance, she remains determined to rebuild her life.
- “I may not be that pretty little thing that was once Sam Mitchell back in 1989… but I am happy and for that I count my blessings,” she said.
