Symoné recalled it on the newest episode of her and her wife Miranda Pearman-Maday's podcast. She revealed her father strongly advised her to get her breasts reduced. She said, "Before the age of 18, I had two breast reductions and liposuction. I've never said it before. I've never told anyone. My father strongly suggested that I have my breasts reduced. I was like, 'If I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?'"

The That's So Raven star said she disassociated following the surgery and even had a seizure due to same. She revealed, "The first one, I actually had a seizure when I woke up from the surgery, and I remember waking up and seeing everything, and then I had this dry mouth and couldn't breathe, and they said, 'Oh yeah, you had a seizure.'"
