Nicole Eggert Shares Post-Mastectomy Recovery, Plans Additional Surgeries

She calls the experience "all consuming," pointing to constant follow-up care plus menopause symptoms.

Overview

  • The Baywatch alum, 53, said she had a mastectomy with reconstruction on Aug. 28, revealing the surgery the next day on Instagram.
  • On her Sept. 1 Perfectly Twisted podcast, she said early recovery has meant lying low, watching TV and taking painkillers.
  • She told the Pod Meets World hosts she has more procedures scheduled next month after taking a year to weigh surgical options.
  • She described spending about half of each month at the treatment center and said menopause is making the process harder.
  • She credited daughters Dilyn and Keegan for support and noted one also had surgery last week, adding that earlier chemotherapy drew a strong response before radiation and surgery followed her January 2024 diagnosis.
