Modern Family's Ariel Winter All Smiles At Disney Following Recent Breast Reduction

Good for you, Ariel Winter!

Her lovely smile tells it all, as the 17-year-old star added her presence to the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim on Saturday.

Ariel was there in a really cute green romper to promote her animated TV series Sofia The First, in which she voices the main character. Sounds great!

 

What's even more special was the happy glow radiating from her following breast reduction surgery last June. Ariel is now a 34 D; before she was a natural 32 F.

The pretty actress tells Glamour magazine that she not only endured awful back + neck pain, but emotional digs, too, from mean people on social media:

"I’d have to wear the dress that was super tight and form-fitted everywhere because if I didn’t, it didn’t look good. I didn’t really have an option other than to wear fitted clothes. Everyone would [say], 'Why is she dressing so mature? That’s so inappropriate for her age!'"

"It’s hard when you’re a teenage girl and you already have a lot of ridicule and then you pile on more, and it’s kind of…it just gets too much."

So, what is involved with breast reduction surgery?

Excess fat, skin + tissue are removed from the breasts; then the areolas + nipples are adjusted to a higher position.

The surgery is considered SAFE and performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Meantime, Ariel is pleased her smaller new breasts:

"It’s something that I did to better my life and better my health and I think that that can benefit a lot of young girls. I have felt more happy with myself than I ever have."
