“Now, I want to be clear that many women will find freedom and beauty in choosing their implants,” Alyssa Milano emphasized.

“What is a false narrative for me may be the exact right thing for them,” she acknowledged.

“And,” Milano expressed, “I am so happy that we can all find our femininity and peace on our own terms.”

“I’m also tremendously inspired by women like Michelle Visage,” Milano praised.

She spoke of women “who have been open and public about their relationships with their breast implants.”

This had the effect of “making it easier for me and countless others to find our own way.”

“Today I am loved, I am feminine, I am attractive, and I am successful,” Alyssa Milano affirmed.

“None of that is because of my implants,” she declared.

“I will still be all of those things when I wake up and they are gone,” she added correctly.

“There is so much joy in that knowledge and freedom in letting go of what was never me in the first place,” Milano wrote.

“Today, I’m my authentic self,” she announced. “Today, I’m free.”
