WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair - daughter of professional wrestling legend Ric Flair - has opened up about cosmetic surgery and her experience with silicone poisoning following.
The 12-time champion is currently on a hiatus from the company after losing her NXT Women's Championship in early June.

However, in a lengthy Twitter thread, 'The Queen' has spoken out about her past with silicone poisoning and revealed that she is currently preparing to undergo further surgery on her breast implants.
Flair - real name Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr - tweeted to her 1.7 million followers:
"My air conditioning is broken, and we have a little free time. These tweets may be spaced out a bit, but we’re going to talk time off, plastic surgery and boobs.
"The entire world having an opinion on the topic bothers me more than I care to let on, so we are going to discuss it."

Flair continued:
"I’m going to save the history of my boobs for a different bedtime story, so:
"Picture it. Charlotte, North Carolina, 2018. A young queen, shortly after a career-defining Wrestlemania victory, finds herself sicker than sick at her brother’s house.
"A trip to the doctor tells us the likely culprit is silicone poisoning, and that my implant had been leaking for quite some time. It was one of the worse cases the doctor had seen."

The former champion added:
"At that time, I had a few options to fix the issue. Each option had a specific recovery time. I love this job more than anything, so I picked the option that allowed me to return the soonest. That was the choice I made."

Flair, 34, then revealed that - despite not having silicone poisoning at this time - she is currently taking time away from the ring in order to once again go under the knife to fix a cosmetic issue with her breasts.

She continued:
"Fast forward to a few months ago. Something felt off, so I went back to the doctor. Same issue again.
"This time, I’m going with an option that I believe will solve the issue long time, even though the recovery period is a little longer than I would like.
"To clarify: I do not have silicone poisoning this time. The surgery is cosmetic to fix an issue from a prior surgery.
"I’ll be back when I’m ready. The body will be rested, and the mind still focused on legacy. Focused on this job. Focused on being better. Always being better."
