“New year, new me”, “New year, new me”: Bianca Balti welcomed the year 2023 by posting a picture on Instagram showing her naked on the bed in profile with her left hand resting on her right breast, highlighting one of the scars from the preventive double mastectomy she underwent on December 8th in Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center , in California, after discovering that she has the BRCA1 genetic mutation, which exponentially increases her risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. The same as Angelina Jolie, who had the same operation years ago. In recent weeks, the 38-year-old supermodel from Lodi has shared the reasons for her choice on social media (“I love life too much not to do everything to preserve it”), hoping that her little girls would give her “the strength to act if one day they too have the same diagnosis” without hiding the fear of pain and the uneasiness of having to give up a part of her body that has defined her femininity.
He then updated his followers on his health with a series of stories: “I’m fine. The surgery went well, I had some nice pains when I woke up, they gave me things for the pain and now I am in my room. I also have a TV and I also have a crucifix. Guys nothing just wanted to give you guys an update I’m very happy that’s it,” he wrote a few days after the surgery.
Shortly before the surgery, the supermodel also posted pictures from her Playboy cover (“An ode to my breasts, which have given me a lot of satisfaction and I’m sure they will continue to do so”) and also a photo when she entered the operating room with the message: “Extremely ready to reduce my risk of breast cancer by 95 percent.” Today the picture that somehow closes the chapter.
