Former Page 3 star Rhian Sugden flaunts her post-surgery figure, revealing the life-changing impact of losing 500g from each breast and ending years of back pain
Rhian Sugden has been flaunting the results of her dramatic breast reduction after having 500g removed from each side earlier this year.
The 39-year-old former Page 3 model revealed in June that she went from a 32HH to a more manageable 32E cup size, and she’s now beaming with confidence as she shares the life-changing impact of the procedure.
In a recent Instagram video, Rhian showed off her cleavage before and after surgery, wearing a black top with a plunging neckline. Alongside the footage, she wrote:
“In June I said goodbye to 500g from EACH boob. That’s basically a bag of sugar per cheb… no wonder my back was crying for help.”
She added: “Honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. No more back pain. I can actually run. I can wear clothes without limiting my style because of bra styles.”
Rhian explained how the surgery has changed her relationship with her body: “My boobs are still big, just way more manageable and actually feel like they belong to my body now. (No implants added, just a lift and reduction).”
She also revealed that the recovery process wasn’t as painful as she feared, and highlighted the confidence boost she experienced: “The pain + recovery? Nowhere near as bad as I’d built it up in my head. The confidence glow-up though? I feel it was the mummy makeover I needed.”
The Celebrity Big Brother star encouraged others considering the surgery: “If you’ve been thinking about it but scared… this is your sign that it’s okay to choose comfort, confidence and feeling like yourself again over super heavy shoulder boulders that are uncomfortable. Thank you Pall Mall Cosmetics for everything.”
Earlier this year, Rhian shared topless snaps showing the before and after of her procedure, noting how much more lifted and proportionate her figure now feels: “From sagging to bragging… These are the results from my breast reduction and uplift @pallmallcosmetics no implant, all still natural. Just lifted and reduced. 4 sizes smaller (I say small) I wanted them kept on the larger side. My scarring is fading so well too!”
Despite the overwhelmingly positive response, Rhian admitted some fans were critical, claiming she was making a huge mistake. Even her husband of seven years, Oliver Mellor, was initially “gutted at first – he’s always loved my boobs.”
However, Rhian reassured that Oliver understands the benefits: “But he understands and I think he’ll be happy for me to stop moaning about my back ache, to be honest.”
Nine weeks after her operation, Rhian posted another update: “I’m back at Pall Mall and I’m nine weeks post op. I’m absolutely in love with my boobs.”
