Christie Brinkley reveals skin cancer diagnosis, says she’s ‘lucky’ to have caught it early

Christie Brinkley is reminding fans to wear their sunscreen and get regular check-ups after being diagnosed with skin cancer.

The 70-year-old model revealed on Instagram Wednesday that she recently underwent a biopsy after her doctor noticed a cancerous spot near her temple.

“The good news for me is we caught the basal cell carcinoma early,” she wrote alongside several photos from the procedure. “And I had great Doctors that removed the cancer and stitched me up to perfection like an haute couture Dior 👍.”
