Pop icon Cher sat in the audience and cried while watching her “son” Chaz Bono dance on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” Monday night. Prior to last week’s show, Cher, 65, had tweeted she would be in the audience if Chaz made it through to the next round. That probably explains why Chaz is still in the running.
“At last I’m finally free to be me!” declared the 42-year-old gay rights activist after undergoing a double mastectomy to remove her healthy breasts in 2009.
Chaz finally revealed the results of the operation when “he” removed “his” t-shirt recently. But the operation left pronounced scar tissue under her breasts which are clearly visible.
According to the National Enquirer, Dr. Harold Reed, a leading Miami-based surgeon specializing in transgender operations, who did not treat Chaz, said: “It appears to me Chaz’s doctor did not leave enough breast tissue in the chest to give him a more symmetrical look.
“He’s quite heavy and his breasts now appear too flat for his body.”
Dr. Reed said Chaz was probably a “C or D cup” prior to the surgery. Chaz also takes male hormones to deepen the voice and grow facial hair.
According to Dr. Reed’s analysis, the surgeon began by removing the nipples and preserving them in saline solution. Following that, the surgeon then made an incision under the breasts and removed the breast tissue. Then the skin was pulled back over the area and the incision was sewn closed.At that point, the nipples were grafted back onto the chest.
“Chaz couldn’t be happier with the results,” the insider told the Enquirer. And now Chaz is considering the next step: “He’s contemplating cosmetically transform(ing) his female genitals to male,” said the insider.
