In a fat transfer procedure, fat is removed from one area in the body and grafted to another area. It also often involves fat cells being injected into a woman's breasts to augment their size.

In a statement she released after his death, she called her late husband an American hero and pioneer.

Crystal went on to reveal that she had already experienced a cosmetic-surgery-gone-wrong back in 2016. After falling ill, she had her implants removed. She wrote of the experience:

"I should have learned my lesson the first time..."

Crystal tied the knot with Hefner in 2012 after three years of dating. At the time, she was 26 and the Playboy publisher was 86. Prior to their wedding, she briefly called off their engagement.

They married in a romantic New Year's Eve ceremony. Crystal was Hefner's third wife. They were married for five years, up until his death in 2017 at the age of 91.
