Bertinelli, 65, opened up about getting a breast augmentation and experimenting with Botox in her new book, Getting Naked: The Quiet Work of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect, which was released on Tuesday, March 10. In 2019, she \u201ctried Botox\u201d for the first [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMine were mocked relentlessly.

Instead of appreciating the changes my body was going through, I dreaded them. I had no idea what I was supposed to look like; I only knew it was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bertinelli\u2019s implants eventually ruptured, which she subsequently needed to have removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe they had been in my body. I went home bandaged and sore, with drains under my arms, uncomfortable but hopeful,\u201d she recalled in a book passage. \u201cFor the first two weeks, everything was great. About a week later, my right breast took on shades of green, yellow, and blue. The next day it started to swell and turned a dark purple. I felt myself getting dizzy. By nighttime, I was running a fever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After developing an infection, Bertinelli had another surgery to install a \u201csmall implant under the muscle\u201d to help restore \u201cwhat was left of [her] nipple.\u201d She said it took nearly a year for her breasts to take \u201cshape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThey are now two completely different sizes; the implant on the left is over the muscle, and my right side is sad and misshapen,\u201d she further wrote. \u201cEventually, I will have a fourth operation that will, I am assured, even things out once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/stylish\/pictures\/celebs-whove-had-their-breast-implants-removed-and-why\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Why-Alyssa-Milano-Is-Getting-Her-Breast-Implants-Removed-030.jpg?crop=0px%2C0px%2C2000px%2C1131px&amp;resize=400%2C225&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 770px) calc(100vw - 6em), 200px\" alt=\"Why Alyssa Milano Is Getting Her Breast Implants Removed 030\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" data-fallback-img=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Why-Alyssa-Milano-Is-Getting-Her-Breast-Implants-Removed-030.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/stylish\/pictures\/celebs-whove-had-their-breast-implants-removed-and-why\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">Celebs Who\u2019ve Had Their Breast Implants Removed \u2014 and Why<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tIt\u2019s no secret that many of Hollywood\u2019s A-listers have breast implants.
