Nicole Eggert, known for her role as Robert Quinn on Baywatch, recently opened up about her regrets over getting breast implants at the young age of 18. The 52-year-old American actress, who starred alongside Pamela Anderson on the popular lifeguard drama series from 1989 to 2001, revealed that her implants hindered her from detecting her breast cancer earlier.
During her time on Baywatch, Nicole was required to wear a bathing suit for most of the filming, something she had not anticipated. In order to fit in with the rest of the cast and other stars of the era, she decided to get breast implants. However, she now admits that it was a decision she regrets and is horrified to see young women following in her footsteps.
Nicole also shared that her breast implants prevented her from noticing the early signs of breast cancer, which has now spread to her lymph nodes. She explained, "There was a lump there. It needs to be taken out. So it's just a matter of do I have to do treatment before the surgery or can they perform the surgery and then I do the treatment after." She believes that if she had not gotten the implants, she would have noticed the lump much sooner.
The actress, who played Summer Quinn for two seasons on Baywatch, was diagnosed with breast cancer in early December 2023. Initially, she mistook her symptoms as signs of menopause until she found the lump. Nicole admitted that during her teenage years on the show, she was insecure about her appearance and sexuality, and getting breast implants was a way for her to fit in.
She hopes that her story will serve as a lesson to other young women, urging them to resist the urge to get breast implants. In addition to sharing her own story, Nicole also starred in Baywatch alongside Pamela Anderson, who played C.J. Parker, and David Hasselhoff, who played Mitch Bucannon. The series eventually inspired a feature-length film in 2017, starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
Despite her diagnosis, Nicole remains positive and grateful for the support she has received. She revealed that a friend had set up a GoFundMe to help with the cost of her treatment plan. She also encourages other women to do self-exams and to avoid getting breast implants.
