“I finally settled my stomach,” Bowen said, clutching his stomach. “Finally after all these years. They tore it up, the twins just tore it up. And I said, ‘As soon as ‘Modern Family’ ends… I’ll fix it.” But 11 years have passed! So 11 years later, we packed on Friday and Monday, they came in and you like a sneaker.
“I thought I’d be embarrassed like, ‘Oh my God, I’m getting plastic surgery like all these crazy celebrities.’ But I’m not ashamed of it at all,” he said. “And I hope that sharing my story helps more people. If they feel body-conscious like I do, they can do what they need to do to feel better.”
