Christina Applegate has double mastectomy to rid herself of breast cancer
Actress Christina Applegate recently announced in an interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America" that she had a double mastectomy three weeks ago.
"I'm going to have cute boobs 'til I'm 90, so there's that," she joked in the interview, which aired Tuesday. "I'll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I'll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table."

What You Should Know About the Safety of Plastic Surgery
When considering plastic surgery, it's natural to focus more on the expected result than on the surgical process. However, to be fully informed, it's important to learn about the safety of the procedure as well as the expected outcome. Although thousands of people have plastic surgery every year without complications, no surgical procedure is risk-free. To maximize safety, ensure that:
- Your surgeon is adequately trained and is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery; Any MD, can perform plastic surgery, however a doctor who is ABPS Board certified has 6 years of surgical training, specialized training in plastic surgery and is required to continuously update their knowledge and skills.
- The facility where your surgery will be performed conforms to strict safety standards established by the Joint Commission of Hospital Organizations. Hospitals take up to a year preparing to pass this strict, on site inspection, geared to ensure patient safety.
- Your surgeon is informed of any drugs you are taking and your full medical history, especially if you have had any circulation disorders, heart or lung ailments or problems with blood clots;
- The surgical facility will use skilled, licensed personnel to administer and monitor your anesthesia and your recovery immediately following the procedure;
- Extra safety measures are taken if you are having a more extensive procedure. Consult with your Surgeon if you have any concerns.

A common mistake in choosing a plastic surgeon
It is important to note that prices are different at every single breast surgeon's location. Our recommendation is to not make a decision in choosing a breast surgeon based on price. You decision should be based solely on if that breast surgeon can meet your specific needs. However, keep your eyes open as well. It is common to find that 10 plastic surgeons are within 5% of each other's price, and there is that one plastic surgeon who charges half of everyone else's price. Be cautious, as that is usually a quick red flag. In no way does that mean paying less will give you worse results, it only means that your decision should never solely be based on price.
