Alyssa Milano Reveals Breast Implant Removal: ‘Today, I’m Free’
Alyssa Milano, star of Who’s the Boss? and Charmed, posted a hospital room selfie to Instagram on September 24, 2025, to make an announcement: she was having her breast implants removed.
“Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me. I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized, that were abused, that I believed was necessary for me to be attractive; to be loved; to be successful; to be happy,” wrote Milano, 52.
She also wrote that in removing her breast implants, she hoped to be a better role model for her daughter Bella, 11: “And in doing so, I hope I am releasing my daughter Bella from ever feeling those same unhealthy demands.”

Milano went on to note that she was supportive of women who choose breast augmentation: “Now, 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, and I am so happy that we can all find our femininity and peace on our own terms. I’m also tremendously inspired by women like Michelle Visage who have been open and public about their relationships with their breast implants, making it easier for me and countless others to find our own way.”
However, Milano decided that augmentation was ultimately not for her: “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. There is so much and joy in that knowledge and freedom in the letting go of what was never me in the first place. Today, I’m my authentic self. Today, I’m free.”
Milano has been open in the past about cosmetic procedures; in a cheeky 2021 TikTok, she told a fan who was eager to know her beauty routine that she used Botox.

She has also commented on how she was offered sexualized roles when she was younger; in a 2021 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Milano noted that “those were the roles I was offered, like it wasn’t interesting for people to hire me to keep my clothes on.”
Most recently, Milano has guest-starred on two episodes of Elsbeth.
