What kind of reconstruction is Applegate getting?
She hasn’t said. But Good Morning America reports that her reconstruction will take eight months. “The majority of patients … don’t go the whole 9 yards,” says Avisar. “Most of them do the first step. Many of them never come back to have the nipple and areola reconstructed. They are just tired and they have had enough.” Applegate may be different. “She is an actress and may be more aware of her body,” says Avisar.
