'Bachelor' Alum Posts Post-Mastectomy Photo

Healing well! Bachelor alum Lesley Murphy has shared a photo of her chest after undergoing a preventative double mastectomy.

The 29-year-old bravely made the reveal with an Instagram snap on Sunday, April 16, one week after she had the surgery at an Arkansas hospital.

With her long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, Murphy posed with an open shirt for the photo that showcased her now breastless chest.

“I think my upper half is healing nicely!” she wrote in a detailed caption alongside the image.

My Sunday best, or what I could manage to put on today with limited arm movements.🤷🏼‍♀️My mom washed and dried my hair today. She dresses me in the mornings. She also measures my drains twice daily which are the tubes you see coming out of my lovely red apron I never take off. She's the freaking best. She slept in my hospital room and bed at home for the first few nights, helping me in and out of bed and giving me meds at horrid hours to control the pain. I have to sleep on my back in the exact same position every night. Sometimes when I make the wrong movements it feels like my chest is detaching from my body, but all in all, I think my upper half is healing nicely! Sure, it's sunken in and lumpy because what you see are deflated expanders that were put in which will gradually get filled every 2-3 weeks as I get ready for reconstructive surgery. Hopefully by then the permanent marker will be off my body😂I feel lucky because my surgeons only made one vertical incision on the lower half of both breasts while saving skin & nipple. So while all breast tissue is (hopefully) gone, I retained some of the old me! Happy Sunday. God is good.🙌🏻💞 #LesleysBreasties #LesNipsBRCAintheBud #BreastCancerAwareness #FightLikeAGirl
