By removing her breast implants, Alyssa Milano sends a strong message to women
In a message published on Instagram, actress Alyssa Milano explained her imminent choice to remove her breast implants. A way to be fully itself and free yourself from the female dictates. Our psychologist explains how this gesture is very symbolic today.

In an Instagram publication, American actress Alyssa Milano announced an intimate decision on Wednesday. That of being removed from his breast implants and reconnecting with naturalness. A much deeper decision than a simple touch -up on his body.

A sexualized body that no longer corresponds to it

In a few words, the actress who grew up before viewers says it: she wants to get rid of “This body which was sexuality”too early and too long. The ex-child star admits: his cosmetic surgery fueled a “False image” that she had herself. “I thought it necessary to be attractive, loved, succeeding and being happy” she admits.

A frequent fact that Johanna Rozenblum, clinical psychologist. “”Acts of cosmetic surgery often have two levers. Either they are made to restore a reality because of real suffering, something that we consider to be an anomaly and in this case, can be therapeutic. Or they are made because of a social lever, which is associated with the image that society, men, the media, convey women. “

In this case, the motivations are not internal, but completely external. “This raises questions. How much can we infringe our physical integrity to correspond to diktats that are not ultimately ours?”

“Today I am me, today I am free”

At 52, Alyssa Milano therefore makes the opposite choice. That of finding her body, without artifice, safer from her than ever. “Today, I free myself from these false beliefs, from these parts of me who have never really been part of me.” And without lowering the happy women of their prostheses in any way, she savor this new freedom. Before continuing on a feminist tone: “I am loved, feminine, attractive and I have success. None of this is due to implants. I will always be all these things when I wake up without them “. A personal message that she also intends to send to her daughter Bella 12 years old, whom she thus hopes “Release from any feeling of one day having to undergo these same unhealthy requirements”. “Today, I really feel myself. Today, I am free” she concludes.

A very “breast” message on acceptance, which we need

For our psychologist, this Instagram post is far from being that of a star in search of buzz. Several women, known for their neckline, have also made the same choice in recent months. The proof of an era evolves? Not only.

“I think it is a journey that comes with wisdom, with age, with free will and critical mind, with the will to love yourself rather than wanting to be loved by others” hears Johanna Ronzenblum. “”It’s something very healthy. And finally very courageous. Because it is to admit, accept and reveal the fact that at one point, we were able to modify your body for reasons that were not necessarily the good. And that the opposite path is also possible. “
