Ariel Winter is finally comfortable in her skin.
The "Modern Family" star underwent a breast reduction last year to bring the size of her bust down from a 32F to a 34D. The young actress, who turns 18 on Thursday, gets candid in the latest issue of People magazine about the emotional stress she felt from having a large chest.
"Being a 5-ft.-tall girl and having extremely large breasts is really ostracizing and excruciatingly painful," she says. "But I didn't really express how I felt about that. I'd just be wearing something anyone else could wear, but I'd read comments saying, 'She dresses inappropriately.'"
While the teen was "hurt" by the bullying, it was the physical pain that ultimately led her to go under the knife. Now happy with her curves, Ariel says she probably won't be getting any more cosmetic surgery in the future.
"I think it will be the only [cosmetic surgery] I'll have done, but I'm extremely happy with the decision I made," she reveals. "It's important to talk about it because there are young girls suffering like I did, but there shouldn't be a stigma about it."
"It was an instant weight lifted off my chest – both literally and figuratively," she adds. "There's a confidence you find when you finally feel right in your body."
