Surgery made my body look abnormal – I'm taking drastic measures to fix it, but not with fat jabs, says Lauren Goodger

WITH her cosmetically enhanced bosom and gravity defying Brazilian butt lift, Lauren Goodger was just one of many reality stars determined to attain that infamous Kardashian look back in the late 2010s.
And as Lauren's fame grew so did her boobs and bum, trips to the surgeon weren't uncommon and she quickly became the queen of curves, which she regularly showed off alongside her plump pout.

But fast forward a decade, and the TOWIE star regrets ever going under the surgeon's scalpel, admitting: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now.'

The reality star exclusively told The Sun: 'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum.
'They make me look bigger than I am and I wish I'd never had them done in the first place. When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.
'I'm 100% getting it all reversed. I don't want anything fake in my body. This look doesn't suit me anymore and I'm ready to go back to the old Lauren.'
Under the knife
Lauren's surgery journey began in 2013 when she had her boobs boosted from a 34D to a 34E.
While she was thrilled with them at first, after two pregnancies - Lauren gave birth to daughter Larose in July 2021 and lost her second daughter, Lorena, a year later - she is deeply unhappy with how they look.

'I've had a great time with my boobs over the years, but since being pregnant twice back to back and breastfeeding, my body has changed and they are absolutely massive now. They must be a size G or a H and I can't wear a bra. I just wear sports bras.
'I went to see a surgeon not long ago, and he told me the implant has dropped too, so rather than being in place, they've sagged.'
And it's not just the appearance of her boobs that Lauren is unhappy with.
She adds: 'They are just so heavy and uncomfortable. I get back ache, they're so heavy I even struggle breathing and getting dressed is really hard work. I can't wear anything nice because it doesn't fit my boobs.'
Two years after getting her implants, Lauren then decided to supersize her derriere with not one but TWO butt lifts.

'I had my bum done in 2016 and I loved it at first, but then I decided it wasn't big enough so I got it done again in 2017,' she recalls.
"It was the fashion at the time, but I was also a lot smaller then too and I trained a lot.
'But again, after two pregnancies, my bum is absolutely huge. It was never this big before.'

And the type of surgery Lauren had makes it more difficult to reverse.
'With a BBL, you can either have an implant in, or fat transfer. I had the fat transfer - I basically had 360-degree lipo from my knees up and they put it all into my bum.
'In hindsight, I wish that I had an implant, because then they could just take it out, but I had fat put in the muscle so it's harder to reduce it.'
Determined, however, to undo the damage she has done to herself, Lauren has made a plan, starting with her breast explant surgery.

'I've booked to have my boobs out at the end of the year before Christmas, and I'm really excited,' she reveals, adding that the op will cost around £12,000.
My bum is absolutely huge. It was never this big before.

'For me, surgery is a much bigger deal now than when I was younger, as I'm a mum now and need to be around for my daughter, Larose. I've been through a lot of trauma since I lost Lorena, and I've got a lot of fears and anxiety, but I've done a lot of work on myself and I'm ready now.
'When I get these boobs out, they are going to cut the majority of the skin away too, so I'll be left with these nice little round perky boobs like I used to have.
'Everyone is going to be like, 'Bloody hell Lauren, you look half the size.' I bumped into a friend recently and it looked like she'd lost about two stone, but she'd just had her implants out. It will make a massive, massive difference.
'Then once the boobs are out, I'll look at getting my bum small again, which I'll have to combine with getting back in the gym and training. I can't wait.'

Body struggles
Being scrutinised in the public eye has seriously affected her over the years, and she admits it definitely gave her body dysmorphia at the time.
She says: 'I've always been bullied for my appearance - even when I wore a size 6-8, I was made to feel big. Magazines always printed pictures of me with unflattering angles, or they'd be distorted and unrealistic. Nobody allowed me to be small.
'My appearance has always been so scrutinised - even my teeth. I always had beautiful teeth, but I got veneers because I saw these pictures of me that didn't look anything like me where it looked like I had teeth missing. I felt like I needed a bigger smile, but I regret that as well.
'When Larose is older, I won't let her get anything done because she is beautiful as she is. I never listened to my mum, but Larose will listen to me. She'll learn from my mistakes.'

Now Lauren says she's sworn off surgery for life and the only thing she'll ever have done in future is Botox.
'The only I don't regret is my botox - that's amazing and I'll never stop that! ' she smiles. 'But even then, I only have it twice a year.
'I haven't had any filler in my lips since 2022 either. I'm too scared to get it done now, so I just leave it and it dissolves on its own.'
'I'll never take jabs'
She also vows never to resort to fat jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, despite their soaring popularity.

She tells The Sun: 'I'll never take them, it's against everything that I believe,' Lauren insists. 'We don't know the full side effects of them, they've not been around for long enough. Also I think a lot of people don't just lose fat, they lose muscle, which is why they look frail. I feel like it just ages everyone as well.'
"Everyone is on there own journey and I am not here to judge anyone that's just my personal opinion. I know people that rave about the jabs and I am happy for them. But it's not for me'.
Although she knows her total transformation won't happen overnight, she's excited for the day when she is finally back to her old self. 'I literally can't wait, I'd get rid of all this surgery tomorrow if I could.'

'I've always known I'm a sexy girl, but I'll feel sexier than ever when all of this is done.'
The single star insists, however, that her make-under is all for herself, and nothing to do with making herself more appealing to a man.
'People think I'm back with Charles [Drury, Larose and Lorena's dad] but I'm not. We're just co-parenting because we want to keep things as normal as we can for Larose.
'I'm very much single. Of course, I'd like to settle down with someone again one day, but right now I'm focusing on healing myself.

'Besides, I still co-sleep with Larose anyway, so there's no room for a man in the bed right now!'
