Danniella Westbrook remains bandaged and bruised in the wake of her facial reconstruction surgery as she continues her recovery in Dubai

by

Danniella Westbrook was seen in Dubai on Monday as she continues to heal from recent facial reconstruction surgery.

The 52-year-old former EastEnders actress has had multiple surgeries in the UAE to fix problems with her face. These began after her septum collapsed in 2000.

After being photographed in a bikini the day before, Danniella was seen on Monday wearing a bright green dress and a hat. She was still wearing her hospital band and using the hat to partially conceal her bandages, even though she’d been discharged from the hospital several days prior.

The celebrity had cosmetic surgery last week at Gargash Hospital, including a facelift, neck lift, brow lift, and reconstruction of their lips and nose.

She’s undergone several surgeries to repair damage to her face caused by her past cocaine use and osteoporosis, which had led to a sunken appearance.

This happened a few weeks after Danniella was hospitalized with trouble breathing, a problem she’s been dealing with for years because of a damaged septum.

Danniella had surgery with Dr. Parviz Sadigh, a surgeon who has operated on her before, in a recent attempt to reconstruct her face.

Last month, Danniella shared a post on Instagram expressing her gratitude to her surgeon, Dr. Parviz Sadigh, for his dedication and hard work. She noted she’s feeling better every day and is looking forward to another operation in February.

Danniella Westbrook was originally scheduled to film her new movie, Tales From The Trap, but had to step down due to health problems. These issues stem from long-term complications following a collapse of the cartilage separating her nostrils.

Sources told the Daily Mail that the actress, who hasn’t appeared in a movie or television program since 2016, needed to see a doctor because she was having trouble breathing.

Danniella recently returned to acting in ‘Tales From The Trap,’ originally cast alongside ‘Love Island’s Liv Hawkins as a tough, gun-dealing grandmother. However, she has since been replaced by Kim Tiddy, known for her role in ‘Slow Horses’.

Someone close to Danniella revealed in December that she was unexpectedly hospitalized on Friday with trouble breathing, forcing her to cancel her appearance on the show ‘Tales From The Trap’.

She was scheduled to return to acting in a film playing a tough grandmother who sells machine guns to criminals. It’s a shame, because many people were excited to see her in that role.

The TV star became well-known at 16 when she joined the cast of EastEnders. However, because of her cocaine use, the show’s producers had to end her contract and remove her character from the series in 1996.

Danniella has previously discussed the start of her struggles with addiction, explaining that she was young and easily influenced when she first encountered drug use in club environments. She described how it initially seemed appealing, but quickly realized it wasn’t glamorous at all.

Someone at EastEnders should warn new, young characters about the challenges they’ll face. Specifically, they need to be told that their lives are about to change, they’ll receive invitations to events, and they might be offered drugs.

Someone who can explain who is around, what information is circulating, and how easily everything you’ve built over years can disappear.

She estimated she has spent around £250k on the drug.  

Danniella recently announced she was undergoing extensive facial reconstruction surgery, describing it as a lengthy procedure.

The actress has had several surgeries to repair damage to her face caused by past cocaine use and osteoporosis, which had led to a noticeable collapse of her facial features.

In 2023, she revealed she was unhappy with the outcome of her facial reconstruction. She’d spent seven years searching for a surgeon who could perform the procedure, as her septum was in poor condition.

Danniella was last seen on television in 2016 when she competed on Celebrity Big Brother, ultimately winning the show.
