I was very happy with the results. Now my nipples point in the direction I want: Everything is looking up! I went home a few hours later and had a nurse with me for 24 hours, watching for blood clots or bleeding. You watch out for a rise in temperature, which could indicate infection or pain that is above what you'd expect.

I'm going to have my arms done in a couple weeks. And I get Botox injections for frown lines on my forehead. I've been having it for a couple of years. My kids wouldn't let me have it when I was going through chemo. I hardly expected them to cheer because Mummy wants to have a tummy tuck and her a – lifted. Why should they? It's very vain. It was important to me, not them. If they wanted surgery and if they were fully grown into their bodies, I would support them. But you have to be you and know who you are. It takes years to do that. When you hear these girls who get graduation gifts of nose jobs, it's like, hey, wait a little to see who you are.

One of my kids said, "No more, Mom. No more surgery." But it was too late. It was like opening Pandora's box. Ozzy said anyone who gets one tattoo wants another one. I think plastic surgery is like tattoos. If you're happy with the results, then you push the button again and again.

A lot of women go too far. It's so easy to fall into that trap, but you can begin to look really scary. There has to be a point where you have to stop, and I hope I'm able to realize that.

• WHY SHE DID IT
"Vanity. I mean it. Vanity," the 45-year-old star of Everybody Loves Raymond (and mother of four boys under age 10) told PEOPLE last year. "I had four C-sections and my stomach looked like the map of the world. My breasts were hanging down to here from breast-feeding those babies, and my nipples were like platters. I wanted to fit into the gowns that I finally got to wear."
• WHY SHE'LL TALK ABOUT IT
"It's better to be honest if you can. There is a lot in Hollywood that is not as it seems," says Heaton, who maintains her post-op body by working out. "When I go out to an important public appearance, I have a lot of help to look the way I do. There is someone to do my makeup, someone to do my hair, a stylist to help me find just the right clothes. It's really not fair, the image we present to the world. Women shouldn't look at people they see on TV and compare themselves to them, because you aren't seeing those women the way they really are."
