Drew Barrymore is known for being quite open about any and all topics, especially on her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, and during a recent episode, she shared a rare comment about the plastic surgery procedure she had done as a teenager.
Barrymore sat down with Valerie Bertinelli, who often appears on the show, Dr. Kameelah Phillips, an obstetrician-gynecologist, and Inside Edition's Alison Hall to talk about breast cancer and early screening when she mentioned her past procedure.

Hall recounted her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer late last year after doing research for a story, with Phillips then emphasizing the necessity of early screening.
At one point, Barrymore asked Phillips, "What if someone’s had a reduction, like me? What if someone has had implants or enhancements like a lot of people out there? How does any alteration of our bodies also play into the examination process?"
The comment was a rare reference to Barrymore's breast reduction surgery at the age of 17.
Answering her question, Phillips noted that "imaging is really important," and if people get "unsatisfactory mammograms," doctors advise them to get an ultrasound next. Phillips also answered specific questions from audience members about their health.
Barrymore previously spoke about her decision to get breast reduction surgery in a conversation with the New York Daily News in 1998, via E! News, with the 50 First Dates actress saying, "There's something very awkward about women and their breasts because men look at them so much. When they're huge, you become very self-conscious."
She went on, "Your back hurts. You find that whatever you wear, you look heavy in. It's uncomfortable." Barrymore appeared happy with her decision to have the procedure, as she also told the publication, "I really love my body and the way it is right now."
A few years ago, Barrymore shared some insight into why she hasn't had any other procedures since then, telling People, "I have a highly addictive personality, so I worry I'd continue to chase it, get this and that done."
She added, "That scares me, just because of my own approach to things. So, I'm waiting on making any alterations," not completely ruling out the possibility.
