Olivia Munn is choosing to embrace her double mastectomy scars following her battle with breast cancer. After a year of being candid about her diagnosis, the 44-year-old actress attended the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s 2025 An Unforgettable Evening event on April 28, during which, she revealed in a red carpet interview with Access Hollywood that’s she’s no longer actively receiving treatment for her post-surgery scars.
Munn attributed her decision to the positive response she received from the SKIMS campaign she posed for back in October. “Ever since I got such an amazing response from my SKIMS campaign, I stopped doing laser treatment on my scars,” she said. “I had all my appointments and I was doing them—I had all of my appointments for the next year, and I just cancelled all of them.”
She continued, saying that “putting it out there” and seeing the response from other women who have also had double mastectomies, as well as family members of women who have had this surgery, inspired her to become more proud of her scars. “They’re not something I want to cover up as much anymore because everyone’s been so sweet about it,” she said.
Munn was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023. She revealed via a lengthy Instagram post last year that she had initially gone to her doctor that year to undergo testing for “90 different cancer genes,” but even after testing negative for all of them—including the BRCA gene—and receiving a normal mammogram, she was diagnosed with breast cancer two months later and, subsequently, had a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy.
In October, she posed for SKIMS’ breast cancer awareness month campaign, which helped raise money for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer foundation. While speaking about the photos on Today, Munn revealed that it was her first time showing her scars since having surgery.
“We were in the middle of the shoot and we were changing an outfit that could see more of my scars, and the makeup artist was touching up my scars and we got to my double mastectomy scars and they were just really hard to cover up,” she told host Savannah Guthrie. “And then I was looking in the mirror and I just thought, ‘I’m done being insecure about my scars.'”
Munn later spoke more about the photos via Instagram. “Every mark life left behind on my body is proof of how hard I fought,” she wrote. “I hope other women who have been self-conscious about their scars see these photos and feel all the love I’m sending.”
