As the wife of a professional athlete Ayesha Curry probably expects a bit of public scrutiny. But when the actress and chef visited The Rachael Ray Show last month, she was hard-pressed at first to come up with the funniest rumor she’d ever heard about herself. Finally, she said it was gossip that she’d had plastic surgery.

“The funniest rumor that I’ve ever heard about myself is that I got my bοοbs done, and it was funny because I totally did,” Curry said, laughing, in a backstage video of “Rachael’s Roulette” with Ray’s social media producer Matthew Allen. “And I couldn’t figure out how the heck they noticed.”

The 29-year-old mother of three had no problem admitting to having breast augmentation.

“Listen, I nursed my daughter, my first daughter, for 15 months,” Curry said, referring to Riley, who is now 6 years old. Daughter Ryan is 3 and son Canon is 6 months old. “Give me a break. A Kit Kat wasn’t going to fix this.”

The wife of Golden State Warrior star Steph Curry is one of many women who decide to undergo plastic surgery after having children. Pregnancy, age, smoking history, breast size and weight are all causes of sagging breasts. Curry is wrong, however, about breastfeeding. Studies have shown that it actually has no significant effect on sagging, also known as ptosis in the medical community.

“The risk of breast ptosis increases with each pregnancy, but breastfeeding does not seem to worsen these effects,” wrote the authors of one study from 2008.

On the other hand, getting breast augmentation can in some cases limit the supply of breast milk, so mothers might need extra help feeding their children after having surgery, according to the CDC.
