Christy Carlson Romano doesn't regret getting breasts implants when she was 18
Christy Carlson Romano caught up with PEOPLE ahead of her 40th birthday, and part of kicking off her next chapter includes looking back at how far she’s come since her teenage years.
“I remember being in the news recently because I mentioned that my mom was sort of talking to me about whether or not I should get [breast] implants. And I actually had a really positive experience throughout that process because I had somebody to talk to,” Romano said of her decision to undergo the cosmetic surgery after she turned 18.
Romano first opened up about the procedure on an episode of her Vulnerable podcast last year.
“I had actually had body image issues after Cadet Kelly — big time," Romano said. “I had that very tight, rigid uniform on for Jennifer Stone. And I remember seeing — and a lot of times it comes up in memes — where I'm standing face-to-face with [Hilary Duff] and I’m completely flat-chested."
Romano also revealed that she struggled with her own body image, and her mom, Sharon Romano, encouraged her on getting plastic surgery.
“She was a stage mom, so she knew everything about my life. I couldn't hide anything from my stage mom. She was right there all the time. So there's goods and bads to that, but in the case of [my implants], that was not bad,” Romano told PEOPLE of her mother’s support.
"And one thing I will say is that I do think that my mom walked me through every step of it, and I never felt scared about that decision," she added. "In fact, I've never regretted getting them done. Never once.”
