Janeane Garofalo is candid about the breast reduction she underwent before becoming famous. She told Inked magazine, "I did that many years ago, because at 5'1", I had boobs like Dolly Parton. I've never thought big boobs were good. I hated them the second I got them. I did nothing but try to hide them my whole life, and as soon as I was in college I was like, 'These have got to go.' I just didn’t like those pendulous boobs. When I did stand-up, people would heckle me because such a short person with such big boobs is very distracting."

Loni Anderson said she got a breast reduction to combat the awkwardness she felt as a teen, then as an adult. "When I was 14 my measurements were 37D-20-32," she says. "Now I feel more in proportion at 36-24-36 instead of outrageous."
