Overview
- During a live talk at New York’s 92NY with Drew Barrymore, Valerie Bertinelli said her breasts are deformed as she discussed her new memoir, Getting Naked.
- She wrote that she first got breast implants in the late 1980s because she felt self‑conscious, then chose to remove them in 2024 after a fall.
- After the removal, she developed a serious infection and her doctor took out the implant and surrounding tissue, which she says caused one breast to cave in.
- She told the audience and People that she underwent four surgeries in 2024 and now expects one more to even out her breasts.
- Bertinelli frames the ordeal as a caution about cosmetic procedures and shifting body image with age, and says she is focusing on recovery, family, and new work projects.
