Rhian Sugden has opened up about why she underwent a breast reduction in a clip created before she had her surgery.
The glamour model, 38, went under the knife last month and went from a 32HH to a 32E cup size.
Rhian took to Instagram on Friday to share a video from before she underwent her breast reduction and uplift, discussing why she opted for surgery.
She revealed her nipples were in fact 11cm lower than they should have been after ‘gravity took its toll’ following the birth of her son George, one.
‘I’m Rhian Sugden and I’m booked in to have a breast reduction and uplift,’ she said in the clip.
‘So being an ex-Page 3 model I’m no stranger to getting my boobs out, so I’ve always been conscious about what they look like and growing up I think I’ve had quite a good set of boobs – but since having a baby gravity has obviously taken its toll and my nipples are 11cm lower than they should be, Dr Hussain has mentioned.

‘So I’m a bit paranoid about that and I just can’t to wait to have them a bit smaller, perkier, uplifted, it’s so exciting.’
She continued: ‘My cup size at the minute is a 34GG, I can fit into a H, and it’s just so difficult to buy a decent bra these days.
‘Bikinis, I can’t even find one to get into because my frame is so small and my boobs are so big so it’s quite difficult. My back ache, ugh, honestly I must have to get a massage like once a week to try and ease the pain and tension in my back.
‘I swim a hell of a lot and I think because my boobs are so big, when I swim my back arches up because they push out the water. So even swimming is difficult for me at the moment, not to mention not being able to get into a swimsuit. Having this reduction is literally going to change my life.’
She captioned the clip: ‘A little bit about why I decided to have my breast reduction! This is before, clearly. Those banjongas. Can’t thank @pallmallcosmetics enough.’
Giving an update to Instagram earlier this month post surgery, Rhian revealed how she has already improve her swimming due to her much more ‘streamlined’ figure.
Posing for a selfie in a yellow cami, Rhian said she had ‘never felt happier’ and was feeling much more confident.
She wrote: ‘Just a little after-and-before of the newly reduced (and very much perked-up) girls

‘6 weeks post-op now and I’m back swimming. I swam a mile and somehow did it 9 minutes quicker?! Coincidence? I think not. It’s got to be because I’m streamlined.’
She added: ‘Genuinely never felt happier. To all the people who said I’d be miserable, ruining my life or that my career would be over… sending you a bit of extra love today. I hope you’re doing well x’
Last week, the mother-of-one revealed how much of a difference the surgery had made.
In a video taken pre-surgery, she went braless in a white T-shirt as she outlined the shape of her breasts.
The video then cut to her wearing the same top post-surgery as she outlined her smaller breasts following her surgery.
She captioned the post: ‘Breast Reduction and uplift… Before + After. Couldn’t be happier! Look at the difference.’
Alongside the snap, she penned: ‘New Girls ❤️ I say new, they’re still the same ones just lifted.
Earlier this month, Rhian showed off the results of her breast reduction surgery on Monday in a before and after photo

‘For people genuinely interested in what surgery I had, it was an uplift and reduction. No implants. One of the best things I’ve done for me.’
Despite Rhian being happier than ever with her new figure, she revealed she had been inundated with messages from trolls criticising her decision.
In an Instagram Story that has since expired, she hit back at her critics as she revealed she had no concern with scarring and that she couldn’t understand why anyone felt the need to comment on her decision.
She added in a cheeky quip that the comments were coming from men who were ‘never going to touch or be near her breasts’, so it didn’t concern her.
