Actress Valerie Bertinelli discusses her experiences with breast implants, multiple surgeries, and body image in her new memoir, 'Getting Naked.' The book details her decision to remove implants, the complications she faced, and her candid conversations about her physical appearance.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 07: Valerie Bertinelli attends the 51st annual Daytime Emmys Awards at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles on June 07, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Actress Valerie Bertinelli presents onstage during Food Network & Cooking Channel New York City Wine & Food Festival.

The actress and frequent lifestyle contributor on “The Drew Barrymore Show” recently released a memoir called “Getting Naked,” in which she discusses, in detail, what her breasts look like after multiple surgeries. “I mean, if you read the book, you’ll know that my boobs are deformed, and I talk very extensively and graphically about how deformed they are,” she said during a live conversation at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Bertinelli, who had four surgeries in 2024, admitted she once showed Barrymore her naked torso, at which point the “50 First Dates” actress said, “Oh yeah, that’s bad.” Maybe not the response you typically want when you show someone your body, but Bertinelli appreciated the honesty and felt she could trust Barrymore more, knowing she would be honest. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 10: Valerie Bertinelli and Drew Barrymore pose before an In Conversation for Bertinelli's new book, "Getting Naked: The Quiet Work Of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect" at 92NY on March 10, 2026 in New York City. In her memoir, which came out on March 10, Bertinelli revealed that she initially got breast implants in the late 1980s after feeling self-conscious, but opted to get the implants removed in 2024. “I liked it for a little while and then started to hate it," she told. "At a certain point, I had gained and lost so much weight that my boobs were just ... I felt like they were down to my belly button. I was like, ‘I just want my small boobs back.” Unfortunately, getting her pre-implant body back didn’t go as planned. “The look on my doctor's face when he finally saw me made me think, ‘Oh s---. I guess I should have come in earlier.’ And he took everything out , and then my breast became infected and started to cave in on itself. It became a crater,” she revealed.

Bertinelli’s time under the knife isn’t over yet. “I have to have one more surgery to even them out," she said. She then pointed to her cats and said, "Me and these guys are the only ones looking at my boobs anyway, but I don’t care because I can’t see without my glasses on ...
