London, Oct 28 Dita Von Teese has revealed that she had a boob job at the age of 21 - because years of drug abuse had damaged her body.

The burlesque beauty admitted that she began experimenting with illegal substances when she was a teenager and her habit slowly grew out of control during the 1990s.

Von Teese went on to say that her drug addiction took a major toll on her figure and she eventually opted to undergo surgery to repair the damage.

"I was a bit of a party girl in the early '90s and used LSD and Ecstasy. Eventually my weight dropped to 6st 7lbs and I looked terrible, so I gave up drugs," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

"My breasts never recovered, so when I was 21 I had 32D implants. Now I'm a healthy 8st 2lbs," she added. (ANI)
