Modern Family's Ariel Winter is proud to have undergone breast reduction surgery after dealing with physical, social and work-related issues.
The 17-year-old actress revealed to Glamour magazine why she chose to go under the knife in June, reducing her breast size from an F-cup to a D-cup. She said, "[I] couldn't find a bathing suit that fit me," she said of the shopping trip that made her decide on surgery. "I really felt bad about myself. I didn't feel happy."
But it wasn't only scant wardrobe choices that led the young, emancipated star to decide on the surgery. She told the magazine, "I had a lot of back problems. I really couldn't stand up straight for a long period of time. It started to hurt so bad that I couldn't take the pain."
On top of physical pain, Winter experienced issues in her career. She explained that on set at Modern Family, she had to wear oversized clothes and even get "strapped down" in order to play teenager Alex Dunphy.
