The Appeal of the Smaller Breasts: From ‘The Daily’

This week on the “Modern Love” podcast, we’re sharing an episode from another New York Times podcast: “The Daily.”

For decades, breast augmentations have been one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States. But in recent years, a new trend has emerged: the breast reduction. Lisa Miller, who reported the story for The Times, explores why this procedure has become so common with Rachel Abrams, the episode’s host.

This episode originally aired Nov. 20, 2024. You can find “The Daily” wherever you listen to “Modern Love.”
