10 Celebrities Who Had Breast Reduction Surgery

Women who have breasts that are disproportionate to the size of their bodies can suffer both physical ailments and emotional issues. They can experience back and shoulder pain, indentations in their shoulders, poor posture, and general fatigue. They can be limited in the activities they can easily perform, and for some, even sleeping can be an issue.

Aside from the physical distress, many women suffer emotionally as well. They are singled out and picked on as young adolescents, they receive unwarranted criticism, and unwanted attention, they are not given credit for their accomplishments, they can not easily find a bra or clothing to fit them, and they feel self-conscious in certain social situations, and the list goes on and on.

There are many women who are dealing with the same issues and many who have made the decision to undergo a breast reduction and it changed their lives. Even celebrities! Yes, that is right! Many celebrities have had breast reductions and others have been rumored to get implants and downsize later! Keep reading to find out more about which celebrities have had breast reductions and who is rumored to have and why!

Ariel Winter

Ariel Winter had breast reduction surgery when she was 17 years old. She is best known for her recurring role in Modern Family. During an interview with Glamour, Ariel Winter discussed her breast reduction surgery and how it was life-changing. She spoke about how emotionally stressful it was to be a young girl in the spotlight when everyone was focused on her breasts and not on her as a talented actress.

After an event, the headlines would be all about her cleavage or her huge boobs that were shown off in the dress she was wearing. Ariel Winter wore a size 32F before her breast reduction and went down to a 34D and she stated “It’s amazing to finally feel right, I feel like a new person”.

Scarlett Johansson

Did Scarlett Johansson undergo a breast reduction? Comparing pictures over the years it is obvious that Scarlett has changed cup sizes a few times.

Soleil Moon Frye

Soleil Moon Frye’s breast reduction surgery in 1992 reduced her bust line from 38DD to a size 36C. She had been acting in a sitcom as “punky brewster” since age 7 but by the time she was 16 and at only 5’1” her breasts had developed disproportionately to her body. Her back hurt and she had indentations on her shoulders. Aside from the physical pain that she experienced she was also tormented emotionally.

In an interview, she talks about how she was getting picked on and called “punky boobster” because her large breasts developed rapidly after the show wrapped. She began getting offered other acting roles that did not convey a message she wanted to send and she was suffering emotionally.

Frye stated, “No one is in charge of how their body develops, but there was so much shame about it.” Soleil Moon Frye wanted to let other women know of her breast reduction to help promote the message of healthy self-images but her message was lost due to misrepresenting headlines.

She was suffering from a condition called Gigantomastia which is the abnormal rapid and extra-large development of breast tissue. Soleil Moon Frye was 14 in the picture on the left below with her 13-year-old date.

She said that their weight was one of the issues that troubled her the most and she would have had a breast reduction even if she had not played sports. Simona Halep had breast reduction surgery that reduced her breast size to 34C.

Dolly Parton

Has Dolly Parton had a breast reduction? There has been much speculation and conversations centered around Dolly Parton and her iconic breasts.

Dolly told Australia 60 Minutes reporter Mike Munro that she has always had “big ones” but she would not divulge her bra size. While she has always been a jokester and has not denied having any “work done” on her breasts back then at 40 years old she told Munro that she thought she looked as good as she could at 40 years old but when everything started sagging she would “have it all pulled up tight and tied off”.

It is safe to assume that over the years Dolly has had her breasts augmented on more than one occasion. When comparing pictures of Dolly Parton over the years her breasts appear significantly smaller than they were initially.

Being such a small person it was no doubt painful carrying all that extra weight and even a slight reduction was probably a relief. Looking at these before and after pictures, it looks like Dolly Parton underwent a breast reduction.

Rumored Celebrity Breast Reductions

Kim Kardashian

One of the biggest trendsetters today is Kim Kardashian, and fans diligently follow her Instagram and then take to social media to discuss her latest post. Recently, fans took to Reddit and asked the question, “Did Kim Kardashian have a breast reduction?” One fan said, “What happened to Kim Kardashian’s breasts, they look smaller?” Fans speculate that she used surgery on her shoulder to cover up the fact that she had her breast implants removed or the size reduced. It seems that every few years there is some question that pops up about the size of Kim Kardasihan’s breasts. Some recent photos of Kim in a tight purple dress with cutouts posted on Instagram are what spurred this debate once again.

Billie Ellish

Another celebrity who has openly talked about her body image issues is Billie Ellish. She mentioned in an interview that she started developing breasts when she was nine years old. When she began her career, she dressed in baggy clothing to try to just look “normal” and not draw attention to her overly large breasts. Some sources say that Billie Ellish had a breast reduction in 2019 to alleviate back and neck pain she was experiencing, and one source reported that Billie’s mother, Maggie Baird, confirmed this to be true. Billie once took to Instagram to confront fans for the backlash she received for changing her “look.” She expressed her frustration with fans complaining that she dressed “too boyish,” and then when she made some more feminine choices, they said she was a “sell out.” If the rumors are true that Billie Ellish got a breast reduction, perhaps she felt more comfortable trying some different styles than her previous baggy selections.
Breast reduction surgery can bring women physical relief from chronic pain and also help them regain confidence and a more positive body image.
