She revealed her bigger bust proved problematic on Modern Family, where she plays young teenager Alex Dunphy. ‘They had to hide it on Modern Family a lot. Big sweaters, [or] strapping me down—which is fine – I understand that it doesn’t fit the character they have in mind. I understand that. But it was difficult to do that every day.’ Before her breast reduction, even standing for extended periods of time was difficult, she said. ‘It was so painful. I had a lot of back problems,’ said the sitcom star. h/t dailymail
