Olivia Munn levels up about the “devastation” she felt following her breast reconstruction surgery after she must possess a dual mastectomy due to her breast cancer cells prognosis.
The starlet visited the SHE MD Podcast, where she talked to her OBGYN, Physician Thaïs Aliabadi, as well as girls’s supporter as well as influencer, Mary Alice Haney, about what she was actually bothered with when she possessed her breast reconstruction surgery.
“I didn’t want to have big breasts. I didn’t want them to look like a boob job. [The surgeon] was just very clear, like, ‘It’s going to look like that,’” she stated.“All I care about is that I’m alive, and I’m here for my baby. But putting that to the side, I’m like, one day, people will forget or not know, or maybe I’ll never tell people that I had cancer, but they’ll look at me and go, ‘Oh, what a bad boob job.’”
The starlet discussed that she was actually paniced that individuals would certainly speak responsible for her spine about just how her boobs are actually very rounded or even challenging, without recognizing that she possessed all of them redone as a result of her cancer cells.
“I was just thinking like, ‘Oh, I’m losing my breasts. I’m going into a world and society where I don’t know how people are going to treat me, how I’m going to react to it,’” Munn proceeded. “It was just like all of that at once. It wasn’t even the cancer because I was like, ‘OK, this is the plan. Get the cancer out aggressively.’”
Following the surgery, The Newsroom starlet acknowledged she wept the very first time she found her brand-new boobs, in spite of her physician reasoning the end results were actually “fantastic.”
“I was by myself in my bathroom, and I looked at them, and I cried in a way that I don’t think I’ve ever cried in my life,” Munn stated. “I was devastated. I didn’t recognize myself. I didn’t know how I would ever dress myself again. I thought, ‘Oh, there are so many styles, there are so many things that I’ll never be able to wear.’ It just looked like someone took off my breasts and then took [some tape and paper] and stuff and Tupperware, and they’re like, ‘Here.’”
She showed that she experiences “much better” about the leads after a long time passed, however she still gets a little bit of uncomfortable about the appeal of her boobs. Thus, she developed her hair out to conceal the marks a little.
“Maybe one day I’ll get more comfortable with it,” Munn stated. “I don’t look the same, but that’s OK. I’m here.”
