Raven-Symoné is opening up about undergoing cosmetic procedures as a teen.
The That’s So Raven alum shared she underwent two breast reductions and liposuction before the age of 18, revealing that her dad signed off on the decision.
“There was paperwork involved,” she told wife Miranda Pearman-Maday during the Aug. 7 episode of The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda. “My dad suggested strongly that I should get my breasts reduced. He was like, ‘So you don’t feel bad, is there anything that you want?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, if I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?'”
Raven, who starred in her namesake Disney Channel series for four years until its 2007 end, referred to the series of medical procedures as a “twofer.”
“It was just a mess,” she continued, “just being that young and the pain of it all.”
The Cheetah Girls alum, now 37, also revealed that her health took a scary turn after she suffered a seizure post-operation, noting that the complication still “freaks her out a bit.”
“I remember waking up and seeing everything,” she recalled, “and then I just started to have this dry mouth and couldn’t breathe and went back under.”
