My Thoughts On Angelina Jolie’s Double Mastectomy Posted on May 16, 2013February 25, 2019 By Dangerous Lee I applaud Angelina Jolie and any other woman for taking the necessary medical steps to live a longer and healthier life for themselves and their family. Cancer is a HUGE deal so don’t think I am making light of it, but if I hear one more person give her kudos for having her breasts removed because she’s considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, I will scream! Her breasts being removed is much deeper than Hollywood beauty and it’s beside the point! People are literally visualizing her breasts being hacked off, but that’s not the case. The procedure involves removing the tissue inside the breasts and replacing it with implants. Besides, now Angelina Jolie will always have perfect, perky breasts, so her vanity is still in tact and I’m sure she got a pair that hold up better than the originals. Of course if she decides to have more children, before having her ovaries removed (she has a 50% chance of developing ovarian Cancer), she will not be able to breastfeed; other than that the physical aspects of her decision were probably last on her list of worries. Angelina has said that she doesn’t feel less of a woman after the procedure and she shouldn’t because breasts don’t make the woman. The woman makes the breasts! Werk those new ta-tas, Angelina!

And let’s be real – there are a lot of women for whom breast cancer isn’t that high of a risk, who, if they had the resources, would also be opting for the double reconstruction.
