Without filter, she returns to the removal of her breast and its relationship with her new body. “It’s the first step. I understood it so quickly that the surgeon thought I was in denial”admits the actress who “immediately loved her body” after this delicate operation. “The silhouette is respected but naked, it’s more delicate and very different in terms of sensuality. I no longer have a real breast on the right, but a prosthesis, with a big scar in the middle. And they had to tattoo my areola… My husband admitted to me that it hadn't been so easy to get used to. But everything is surmountable when we are together“, she explains before advising everyone to do early detection. Béatrice de la Boulaye also greets “the solidarity that was put in place” when she spoke about her illness. She particularly mentions this woman who sent her a photo of her chest so that she could see the result of a breast removal. “ “It breaks down the barrier of distrust.”
