Overview

• Raven-Symoné underwent breast reduction surgery at age 15, reducing her size from a triple D to a B, after being told it was necessary to secure her own TV show.
• She also opted for liposuction during the same procedure to address criticism about her weight, describing it as a 'twofer.'
• The surgeries were heavily influenced by adults in her life, including her father, who strongly suggested the procedures.
• The surgeries led to complications, including a seizure caused by anesthesia and lasting physical scars that persist more than 20 years later.
• Symoné reflected on the lasting emotional toll of these experiences and noted the progress in body positivity today compared to her youth in the entertainment industry.
