Watch: Alyssa Milano Shares Why She's Getting Her Breast Implants RemovedEva Amurri is detailing her difficult journey. Almost nine months after she underwent breast reduction surgery, the lifestyle blogger-daughter of Susan Sarandon and Franco Amurri-got candid about how the surgery affected her mental health in an Instagram post highlighting her "lowlights" of 2025. "A completely unexpected mental side effect of my reduction surgery happened to me and started once healing was over," Eva wrote on Dec. 31 over a photo of herself in May, "body dysmorphia and a constant hyper fixation and fear that my breasts would grow back." The 40-year-old added that it took "a lot of work" on herself and "months of time" before she was able to reach a better place in terms of being comfortable with her body.

"I'm someone who gains weight in my chest first," she explained. "It's always been like that, and I would experience great size fluctuations in my breasts whenever I would gain or lose weight. 'Growing my boobs back' after my reduction was always a fear in the back of my mind before my surgery." But amid the intense focus and analyzing how her breasts looked at all times, Eva reached out to her doctor, who assured her that what she was seeing was likely tied to hormonal changes within her body. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images"She encouraged me to notice the hormonal pattern of when I felt like my chest was 'big," she shared, "and lo and behold it would correspond perfectly with getting my period and those minor bloating fluctuations."

"After that, I was like, 'Man, I got to really just hold myself accountable and take care of my health,'" he said on an episode of The Breakfast Club. "I don't never want to have an episode again. I'm gonna see a therapist, [even] if I have to take medicine." In addition to his hope that his vulnerability would help others in need, Gucci Mane said that his kids Ice Davis and Iceland Ka'oir Davis with wife Keyshia Ka'Oir inspired him to seek help amid his episode.
