Raven-Symoné underwent two breast reductions and liposuction surgery as a teen, after criticism over her weight while appearing in The Disney Channel’s That’s So Raven as a child star.

The actress admitted to undergoing the surgeries on Sunday’s episode of her podcast, The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda.

Reflecting on her cosmetic procedures as a minor, the now-37-year-old claimed that her father, Christopher B. Pearman asked her if she wanted anything done.

“There was paperwork involved,” she recalled.

“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?'”

“So I got a twofer…” said the former That’s So Raven and Raven’s Home actress. “It was just a mess, just being that young and the pain of it all.”

She went on to reveal that she suffered a seizure after her first breast reduction.

She recalled: “I remember waking up and seeing everything… and then I just started to have this dry mouth and couldn’t breathe and went back under.”

The former The Cosby Show star was dissatisfied with the outcome and so underwent another procedure because she felt her breasts were “still too big” due to her weight gain.

Despite the mental trauma she experienced, she has found a positive side, as she believes that without the surgery, her breasts would have reached “her ankles” by now.

In 2017, the actress also opened up about the fat-shaming she got from viewers growing up.

“I wish I was living now as a younger person,” the actress told People, before recalling that people would routinely brand her overweight.

“I probably wouldn’t have so many mental issues.

“[Many said] I was too big to be doing an hour and a half concert. ‘I don’t know how she can dance being that big.’ And I was like, ‘I still did it!'”

Last year, Raven credited her wife Miranda Pearman-Maday for helping her to quit eating sugar.

“With [my wife’s] help, and guidance, and love, and fantastic cooking skills — which everyone here knows — she helped me kick sugar,” she said on US chatshow, The View.

“I say kick sugar because it is an addictive drug,” she continued. “I was addicted to it in wheat form, in regular form, and it’s out of my system.”
