Alyssa Milano, 52, Reveals She Had Her Breast Implants Removed – Details

The actress has made a deeply personal and symbolic decision, opening up about what the move means for her at this stage in life.

Alyssa Milano has shared that she recently underwent surgery to have her breast implants removed. Her move has sparked both admiration and intense online scrutiny. While some hailed her for her courage and vulnerability, others were quick to raise pointed questions about whether this transformation includes giving up fillers and Botox as well.

Letting Go of a Body That Was Objectified and Exploited

The actress explained that the choice was deeply personal, describing it as a way to shed old pressures and unhealthy expectations.

"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 said.

Milano added that her hope is to break the cycle for the next generation. She noted, "And in doing so, I hope I am releasing my daughter Bella from ever feeling those same unhealthy demands."

The 53-year-old made it clear she doesn't judge other women for their choices, acknowledging that for some, breast implants are a source of confidence and empowerment. But for Milano, they had become a false narrative that no longer served her truth.

Inspired by Others, Determined to Be Herself

She also credited other bold voices like Michelle Visage, who have publicly discussed their own experiences with implants, for inspiring her to take this step. The "Charmed" star reflected on her sense of self today, emphasizing that her worth isn't tied to her implants.

She declared, "Today I am loved, I am feminine, I am attractive, and I am successful. None of that is because of my implants. I will still be all of those things when I wake up and they are gone."

She closed her message with a powerful declaration about the freedom that comes with embracing herself. "Today, I'm my authentic self. Today, I'm free," penned Milano.

Fans React with Cheers, Questions – and Some Skepticism

After Alyssa Milano shared the bold step she had taken, fans rushed to react with a mix of support, admiration, and curiosity. One person encouraged her by saying, "I think you're lovely and brave, and your message is strong. I support you. But I also wonder about the Botox and fillers because you say that you are now being authentic?"

Another netizen chimed in with a direct question, "Are you going to release all that filler in your lips?" Someone else suggested, "Next step, stop the lip injections and everything else you did to your face."

More Instagrammers asked, "Just out of curiosity, and not saying this in a nasty way, will you dissolve filler and stop botox? Is that all part of feeling natural and beautiful in your own skin [sic]."

Another commenter raised the same concern, "That's great for you, congrats. And, what about all the Botox and fillers? Do you need to release your daughter from those, too?"

An individual pointed out what they saw as a contradiction, "Thats kinda inconsistent with obvious botox and lip filler! No judgement there - i'll do botox and fillers too [sic]."

Not all comments were critical, though — many were warm and uplifting. One person simply penned, "Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️" Another fan showed their pride, writing, "You go girl. Iam [sic] so proud and happy ♥️."

Lastly, someone celebrated Milano's decision with enthusiasm, "This is awesome! 👏🏼 Good for her! Such a powerful thing to take back your body!! She might even feel better health wise too! B.I.I is a real thing and can affect how you feel! Wishing all the best for you!"

Her Botox History

Milano has previously acknowledged using Botox, which prompted some fans to question whether she will give it up as part of her journey toward authenticity.

In a TikTok video she once shared, a follower complimented her appearance, calling her "so beautiful," and asked how she stayed wrinkle-free. Milano responded simply with one word, "Botox."

Michelle Visage's Health Struggles – and the Choice to Remove Her Implants

Michelle Visage, the "RuPaul's Drag Race" judge who inspired Milano, recently shared her own journey of having her breast implants removed due to health concerns.

Visage revealed that her decision was influenced by a long-standing struggle with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid.

The 50-year-old explained that her symptoms over the years, including fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, and sudden weight changes, prompted her to reconsider the impact of her implants on her overall well-being.

Although Visage had long suspected a connection between her implants and her health challenges, medical professionals had not confirmed any direct link. Research on whether breast implants can trigger autoimmune disorders remains inconclusive.

The US National Library of Medicine notes there is no definitive evidence. Meanwhile, the National Women's Health Network emphasizes that many existing studies only track women with implants for a short duration, highlighting the need for longer-term research.

Still, like Milano, Visage described feeling empowered by her choice to remove her breast implants, "I feel like I am doing something to regain and reclaim my life and health. I want to be here for a long time to be with my children, my husband and to see my grandchildren. And my breast implants were certainly impeding my chances of that," she noted.

Both Milano and Visage are now prioritizing their health, making choices informed by their experiences and what they've learned about their bodies. They hope to inspire future generations while also enjoying long, healthy lives with their loved ones.
