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."
