Former Disney Channel star Christy Carlson Romano, whose mother encouraged her to get breast implants as a teen, says she doesn't regret having the surgery. She also thanked her mom for the support.
Former Disney Channel actress Christy Carlson Romano made headlines last fall when she revealed her mother had encouraged her to get breast implants as a teenager. Now 40 years old, Romano says it's a decision she has 'never regretted,' while also praising her mother for the way in which she supported her. 'I remember being in the news recently because I mentioned that my mom was sort of talking to me about whether or not I should get implants,' Romano told People magazine.
In October, Romano disclosed on her podcast, 'Vulnerable,' that her body image issues flared after filming the Disney Channel original movie, 'Cadet Kelly' in 2002, which prompted the conversation around surgery. 'I had actually had body image issues after ‘Cadet Kelly’ – big time,' Romano admitted. 'I had that very tight, rigid uniform on for Jennifer Stone,' she said.
Now a mother to two young girls, Romano believes it's imperative that mothers have an open dialogue with their children about these topics. 'I think that people are in denial if they don't think that young girls are talking to their mothers about this stuff. I had a really positive experience with it, and I think if my girls had concerns, they could come and talk to me,' she told People. 'I just want them to talk to me. That's all I care about.
