Bijou Phillips has undergone a successful kidney transplant after finding a "perfect match" donor through UCLA's kidney exchange program. The 46-year-old actress shared a hospital selfie on Instagram, thanking her brother Aron Wilson who donated in the kidney exchange, which ultimately led to a compatible match for Phillips. She praised her surgeon, Dr. Veale, for using a technique that only cut the fascia rather than muscles, allowing her to recover with minimal pain medication. Phillips had been searching for a donor after her 2017 kidney transplant failed, and she was put back on dialysis. She previously told Us Weekly in February that as a single mother to daughter Fianna, 12, with incarcerated ex-husband Danny Masterson, she felt a renewed determination to fight for her health. Phillips expressed immense gratitude to the medical team at UCLA and everyone who volunteered to be tested as potential donors.
