Christina Applegate & Breast Reconstruction

CelebNewsWire


Christina Applegate has had a double mastectomy and now is apparently looking into breast reconstruction. Good for her. The overall tone of this piece however underscores the lack of understanding on the topic. Breast reconstruction and cosmetic breast surgery are quite different.

She may not be able to choose her size and the appearance will not be as nice as if she had not had mastectomies. Hopefully she had skin sparing mastectomies and will not need chemotherapy or radiation therapy as this would improve her options significantly.
