Eva Amurri Reveals Body Dysmorphia After Breast Reduction Surgery

Eva Amurri is looking back on the highs and lows of her 2025 — including her experience with her breast reduction surgery, which she underwent back in April.

After revealing earlier this year in a blog post on her site Happily Eva After — which she aptly titled “Bye, Bye Boobies” — that she would be getting a breast reduction, the actress and lifestyle blogger documented her recovery on her social media throughout the year.

On Jan. 1, as Amurri, 40, rang in the new year and reflected on the events of 2025 in two Instagram carousels. One, which Amurri titled “My 12 Peaks of ‘2025,’” broke down her highlights from each month of 2025, including her decision to ultimately undergo her breast reduction.

However, in her similarly formatted follow-up post, which she captioned “My 12 [Pits] of 2025,” Amurri shared some of the downsides of her experience going through with the surgery.

“The Lowlights of the year! 🥴✌🏻” Amurri, who is the only child of Susan Sarandon and Franco Amurri, captioned the post.

On the slide recapping her May 2025, just after her April breast reduction, Amurri opened up about what she referred to as a “completely unexpected mental side effect” of the surgery.

Writing in text over a picture of herself from the month, she revealed that she had developed body dysmorphia, along with a “constant hyper fixation and fear that my breasts would grow back.”

She commented on the photo that she included in the wrap, writing that she had “spiraled” after seeing it because she thought her breasts looked “big again.” Amurri also opened up about the work that she had to do in order to get to “a better place” following the surgery.

In a video shared post-surgery earlier in the year, Amurri admitted that she had had a “mental breakdown” before the procedure, citing fears about anesthesia.

Following the operation, Amurri shared the tougher parts of her recovery, revealing she had been “so uncomfortable” and was having trouble sleeping.

“The truth is that until I can sleep on my side … I just feel like I’m in the newborn phase of motherhood where I’m up pretty much constantly,” she shared on Instagram Stories at the time.

In her “Bye, Bye Boobies” blog post, Amurri opened up about her reasoning for going through with the surgery, writing:

“Having huge boobs has been a blast at times! When I want to feel extra sultry or sexy, they’ve been super fun! In the bedroom? FANTASTIC. When I want attention? Perfection. But what about those days that I didn’t? What about when I would have done anything to not have to carry 10 extra pounds on the front of my body or have breasts I couldn’t put away or ignore?”

She also shared that she had already seen the impact of sharing her journey online, even before undergoing the operation.

“When I shared on social that I would be getting a breast reduction surgery, I had hundreds of women reach out, either sharing that they were interested in the surgery themselves, or offering words of encouragement after going through a successful breast reduction,” she wrote on her blog.

“I truly believe that as women, sharing about experiences like this helps us to feel more collectively empowered. It helps to know that you are one of many going through a similar experience or considering very similar choices.”
