Rhian Sugden shared a photo of herself in a bikini on Friday, shortly after announcing she’d had a ‘mummy makeover’.
The model from Manchester highlighted her figure in a red lingerie set from Playful Promises, showcasing the outfit in a recent promotional photo.
The photo allowed Rhian, 39, to showcase her breasts again, following her recent breast reduction surgery.
A lingerie model had breast reduction surgery, going from a 32HH to a 32E cup size, because she was experiencing severe lower back pain.
Rhian, who had a son named George with her husband Oliver Mellor in 2024, says she feels much younger as she approaches her 40th birthday on September 11th.
The model, after recovering from surgery, shared that it was one of the best choices she’s ever made, and that getting a breast augmentation has significantly boosted her confidence.
Oh my god, she said she loved her breasts before, but now that she’s had a reduction, she feels totally reborn! She said it’s like a weight has been lifted – literally! She’s so happy she doesn’t even need an underwire bra anymore, they hold their shape beautifully. It’s amazing to hear how much happier and more comfortable she is now, it’s just… incredible!
I’ve also had some dental work done, and it’s really transformed how I look! I used to be self-conscious about my two front teeth, even after wearing Invisalign. Ultimately, I decided on composite bonding to make them more even and consistent with each other.
She recently got a little more Botox and chin filler to maintain a youthful appearance, as she shared with Closer magazine.
Rhian shared in the interview that after eight difficult rounds of IVF, she and Oliver were finally able to have their son, George. Now, they’re hoping to try IVF again to give George a brother or sister.
The reality TV star shared that she had a breast reduction because the pain in her back and chest had become so severe it was making it difficult to walk.
Rhian posted three topless photos on Instagram showing her body before surgery, two weeks after, and then again several weeks later to document her recovery.
Alongside the post, she wrote: ‘From sagging to bragging. Swipe for before and after.
Here are the results of my breast reduction and lift from Pall Mall Cosmetics. I didn’t have implants – it’s all natural! They just lifted and reduced the existing tissue.
I ordered a size small, but they run about four sizes too small, so they’re much larger than expected. I’m happy to report my scars are also healing nicely!
She explained that choosing to relieve her ongoing pain has unfortunately led to criticism from some fans, with some expressing strong disapproval and calling it a terrible decision.
Rhian became well-known in 2006 when she started working as a Page 3 model at age 19. She quickly gained a large following and landed profitable opportunities, such as earning £100,000 for appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012.
She explained that because of her career, some fans feel entitled to her body, believing they have a claim over it since they’ve financially supported her through magazine purchases and OnlyFans subscriptions.
It’s been amazing to see the response to her decision, honestly! Most people have been so supportive, which is fantastic, but I have to say, some have been really upset by it – absolutely devastated, actually. It’s been a pretty wild reaction overall.
Honestly, it just kept getting worse! Not only did Rhian leave everything behind, but she actually told me Oliver, her husband of seven years, was completely heartbroken at first! ‘Gutted’ was the word she used, can you believe it? It felt like a double blow, hearing that he was hurting too. I mean, I understood her needing to follow her heart, but still… it was a lot to take in.
She told The Sun before her surgery that her partner, Oliver, was initially upset, as he had always admired her breasts.
Honestly, I think he gets it and will be glad if I stop complaining about my back pain.
