Sunny Hostin’s unabashed honesty about indulging in plastic surgery Julie Bowen to open up about yours.
The “Modern Family” star appeared on “The Viewon Wednesday and reflected on the benefits of becoming famous later in life. She recalled on the talk show that she was 39 and pregnant with twins while filming the pilot episode of her hit ABC sitcom, and was so overwhelmed by motherhood that her sudden stardom didn’t affect her as much as it might have when she was younger. .
“All I cared about were these little kids,” she said, referring to her twins, who are now teenagers. “I didn’t even realize everything else was going on…I had a life and breasts that I could walk in my shoes.”

As the panel chuckled, Joy Behar assured the actor that she and her co-hosts could relate.
“We all have that, except Sunny,” Behar said, prompting Hostin to nod.
“Yes, I recently had a breast reduction and lift,” Hostin said.
“Did you talk about it, just like that?” Bowen said, surprised.
“Yeah, I got free,” Hostin said with a shrug.
“Oh God, I love you,” Bowen said. “I love that”.
Inspired by Hostin’s lack of shame, Bowen quickly launched into her own plastic surgery story.
“I finally got my stomach fixed,” Bowen said, clutching his belly. “Finally, after all these years. They ripped it open, the cufflinks just ripped it open. And I said, ‘As soon as ‘Modern Family’ is done… I’ll fix it.’ But it was 11 years! So, 11 years later, we finished on Friday and on Monday they came in and made you like a slipper.”

“You look kidnapped! You look good,” Hostin said, giving Bowen a thumbs up from him.
“Thanks i think?” Bowen said in response.
Last week, Hostin spoke with People about getting a breast reduction and liposuction last summer. She told the magazine that she was openly talking about it because she wanted to destigmatize it.
“I thought I would be embarrassed, like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m getting plastic surgery like all these crazy celebrities.’ But I don’t feel ashamed at all,” she said. “And I hope that sharing my story helps more people. If they feel as aware of their body as I do, they can do what they need to do to feel better.”
