Raven-Symoné recently opened up about undergoing surgery at a very young age. In her comments, the actor stated that she did so after receiving advice that a breast reduction procedure would help her securing parts in shows. Fans are now wondering if she underwent the surgery for the beloved sitcom That’s So Raven.
Here’s all you need to know about Raven-Symoné’s surgery.
Did Raven-Symoné undergo breast reduction surgery for That’s So Raven?
There’s no confirmation that Raven-Symoné’s first surgery occurred due to That’s So Raven. Despite the unconfirmed nature of the theory, certain points highlighted by the actor seem to corroborate the fact that the 2003 series was the reason behind Raven’s decision to undergo the surgery.
The five-time NAACP Image Awards recipient shed light on the problems she faced as a child actor in a recent episode of her podcast Tea Time with Raven & Miranda. While talking about her initial days in the industry, Raven-Symoné revealed that she underwent the first of her two breast reduction surgeries at the tender age of 15. “I went from a triple D all the way down to a B. Someone said I needed to do it in order to get a show,” the TV star said.
Born on December 10, 1985, she celebrated her 15th birthday at the turn of the millennium. According to her IMDb profile, the only series that the actor was associated with at the time was That’s So Raven, which made its small-screen debut in 2003. As such, fans have deduced that Raven-Symoné could be referring to the fan-favorite comedy show while talking about her first breast reduction surgery.
Raven-Symoné had previously revealed that there were discussions about digitally modifying her body on the said series. In an appearance on The Bright Side Podcast in October 2024, the actor stated, “There’s this really interesting thing you can do with film, when you’re in television, and you can stretch the film.” She further added, “So if you’re wide and you stretch it long ways, you look skinnier. And, there were talks about that.”
While such incidents seem to solidify the hypothesis that Raven-Symoné underwent her first surgery for That’s So Raven, the Georgia-born TV star has yet to respond to these theories.
