When it comes to what people are looking for in plastic surgery clinics, a quiet revolution is afoot – and comfort is now the top consideration. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the demand for cosmetic breast reduction surgery has increased by a whopping 54% from 2019 to 2022, and the popularity of the procedure shows no signs of slowing down. Perhaps the product of a shift in aesthetic priorities in the post-pandemic era, or perhaps a sign of a shift toward more natural ways of improving the body, breast reduction surgery is becoming a popular trend.
Among those who have undergone breast reduction surgery, some Hollywood stars have been generous in sharing the sense of freedom and change the procedure has brought them. Queen Latifah has struggled with discomfort and self-awareness issues due to her larger breasts. “I was a 36DD cup size in high school,” she told People magazine. I was a big girl… I was the biggest girl in the class.” The “Hey Girls Walk” star initially had concerns when she opted for breast reduction surgery in 2003 to relieve shoulder and back pain. “I didn’t want to have the surgery. But I had already lost 25 pounds, and my breasts hadn’t shrunk at all! I still have to carry that weight. I don’t really want them to get that small.”
