"Modern Family" star Ariel Winter has opened up about her decision to have breast reduction surgery .

In an interview with Glamour magazine, the 17-year-old actress (who plays Alex Dunphy on the hit TV show) discussed why she chose to have the procedure done and how it's helped her confidence.

Like most teens, Winter's body seemingly changed overnight.

"I remember being in my sisters wedding and being so flat and thinking, I just wish I would grow boobs! and then overnight I did. But then they kept growing and growing and growing and it didnt seem like they were going to stop," she said. "I was 15 years old with [size] F [breasts]. Its like, How do you navigate that?'"

Not only did her chest make it difficult to find clothes that fit properly, it also became the center of a whole lot of media attention. Outlets like E! ran with headlines such as, "Ariel Winter's Cleavage Is Out of Control " and "Ariel Winter Rocks Crazy Cleavage Once Again ," choosing to focus on her body and not her work. But not all teens want their changing bodies to be trending topics on the Internet.
