Overview
- Grimaldi underwent emergency breast surgery, with doctors operating on March 13 after swelling and pain escalated quickly.
- She described sharp pain under the armpit and a misshapen breast as the implant shifted, after her wife first noticed weeks of swelling.
- Surgeon Pietro Lorenzetti said capsulitis had triggered a large seroma in the left breast, which he removed, and he called the urgent operation key to avoiding infection.
- The condition worsened within 48 hours as she prepared for a North Pole trip, which she skipped in what the surgeon said was a safer choice.
- A severe infection about 20 years ago left her with one breast for a year, a trauma she says made her delay seeking care this time as she told Rai viewers she had “risked her life.”
