Olivia Munn is learning to love her scars.

While attending the Women's Cancer Research Fund's 2025 An Unforgettable Evening event on Monday (April 28), the Newsroom actress revealed that she stopped undergoing treatment to get rid of the scars she received during her battle with breast cancer, per Page Six. Munn has been open about the various surgeries she underwent after being diagnosed in 2023, including a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, Munn explained that she had been getting laser treatments to help fade her post-mastectomy scars but ultimately decided to embrace them after seeing the positive reaction to her photos in an October 2024 SKIMS campaign that featured the marks.

"Ever since I got such an amazing, loving response from the SKIMS campaign, I stopped doing laser treatment on my scars," she said, adding, "I had all my appointments, and I was doing them, and I had all my appointments scheduled for the next year, and I just canceled all of them."

The X-Men: Apocalypse star is instead focusing on "putting it out there and embracing" her health journey after beating cancer, noting how the photos were embraced by "women who have these scars" and with people who have "seen their mother going through" her own breast cancer battle. Now, she doesn't want to hide.

"And now these scars, at least on me, I'm proud of them now," she said. "They're not something that I wanna cover up as much anymore because everyone has been so sweet about it."

In February, Munn shared an update on her health and explained how she had "hit a good stride" in her cancer journey after previously revealing that she felt "a lot of guilt" over her health.
