Amber Rose Opens Up About Plastic Surgery

Model Amber Rose has been refreshingly candid about undergoing breast reduction surgery, using her platform to shift the conversation around plastic surgery from stigma to self-care. Her story highlights something we see often in practice: breast reduction isn’t just cosmetic, it’s frequently sought for real physical relief from back, neck, and shoulder strain.

No Longer A Secret

Up until recently, celebrity plastic surgery has been taboo, only up for speculation by tabloids. Celebrities like Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian have brought a conversation to the dinner table that most people have behind closed doors, helping to eliminate judgement from undergoing these procedures in the first place.

By being open about her procedures, she has removed much of the thunder from tabloid speculation, and let’s be honest, nobody likes that.

Here’s to Your Health

More importantly, Amber Rose is calling attention to the health benefits of breast reduction surgery. Many women who pursue reduction surgery are attempting to reduce back pain or wear certain types of clothes again, consequently to help their mental health as well.

Breast reduction surgery was the eighth most popular procedure for women (and the second most popular for men) in 2016, according to a report by The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Amber Rose’s experiences emphasize to a wide audience that plastic surgery is multi-purpose. In addition to allowing a person to have greater control over their aesthetics, it is also an important component of health care for many people.

Amber Rose’s breast reduction procedure has emphasized that plastic surgery should be used to make yourself the way you want to be. Not just as a method to increase but also decrease for one’s own health or comfort.
