Ellen Larson Undergoes 36G-to-36C Breast Reduction After 25-Pound Weight Loss

Summary

  • June 9 surgery in Barcelona reduced Ellen Larson’s breasts from an estimated 36G to 36C after years of back pain, worsening posture and workout discomfort.
  • 25 pounds of weight loss on GLP-1 drugs — starting with Rybelsus, then Wegovy and Mounjaro — helped her reach the point where she felt ready for the procedure.
  • 10,500 euros in surgery and liposuction costs covered the reduction plus fat removal around her armpits and rib cage after she consulted eight doctors in Barcelona.
  • A brief complication forced an extra clinic night when her left nipple nearly lost blood supply, but a 30-minute follow-up procedure resolved it and recovery has otherwise been smooth.
  • Nearly a month later, Larson said sharing the experience on Instagram and TikTok drew hundreds of supportive comments from women who called similar reductions life-changing.
