Alyssa Milano Getting Breast Implants Removed, Thought They Were ‘Necessary’ to ‘Be Attractive’

Alyssa Milano is on a journey to becoming her “authentic self.”

On Wednesday, September 24, the actress, 52, announced she is undergoing breast implant surgery in an effort to “letting go of what was never me in the first place.”

“Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me,” Milano, 52, wrote alongside a pre-op photo she shared on Instagram. “I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized, that was abused, that I believed was necessary for me to be attractive; to be loved; to be successful; to be happy.”

She added that she hopes her 11-year-old daughter Bella never experiences “feeling those same unhealthy demands.”

“I want to be clear that many women will find freedom and beauty in choosing their implants. What is a false narrative for me may be the exact right thing for them,” she continued.  “I am so happy that we can all find our femininity and peace on our own terms.”

Fans and friends flooded the comments section of her post, sending praise and well-wishes.

“Love you! Your liberation will inspire and liberate others!” Nicole Scherzinger wrote.

Michelle Visage — whom Milano credited for helping women “find their own way” — wrote, “I’M THRILLED FOR YOU! The heal is real baby! See you on the lighter side.”

The Charmed star ended her post by sharing positive affirmations: “Today I am loved, I am feminine, I am attractive, and I am successful.”

“None of that is because of my implants,” she added. “I will still be all of those things when I wake up and they are gone.”
