Breast reduction surgery is a common procedure in the US

In 2020, the most recent year statistics are available for, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that over 90,000 people underwent breast reduction surgery for cosmetic and reconstructive purposes.

The surgery, known as a reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure that removes fat and tissue from the chest, resulting in smaller breasts, Insider previously reported.

Though Minaj has yet to reveal the reasons behind her decision, she did share in May 2022 that she wanted to undergo breast reduction surgery in an Instagram live video, sharing with her fans that she wanted to reduce her breasts to an A-cup.

"You know what, somebody, I'm not gonna lie, somebody did tell me to get my boobs taken off, like a female in the industry," she said, according to HipHopDX. "And I was like, 'No, not yet.' And yeah, she was right. I should've hurried up and took them off."

Other celebrities have been vocal about their breast reduction surgeries
