Shaughna Phillips couldn’t help but gush over the results of her liposuction procedure as her once-tight size 12 jeans are now baggy.
The Love Island star, 26, last month opened up about why she went ahead with lipo on her legs, and admitted it was to combat a medical condition that left her feeling self-conscious.
Shaughna explained that she was diagnosed with a condition called Lipoedema that led to a build up of fat cells in her legs.
And after undergoing lipo, it’s safe to say the brunette beauty is now living her best life.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the reality TV star shared a screenshot of a text conversation she had with a pal in which she swooned over the results.
In one of her texts, she wrote: “Just tried on a pair of size 12 jeans. They’re too big… they’re baggy around the ankle.”
Shaughna went on to admit she’s been “eating like a family of 18” so she was thrilled with her results.
The reality star explained that it was a relief to learn about her diagnosis because she had been self-conscious since being a teenager.
Shaughna then sought the help of a surgeon who carried out liposuction on her calves.
The bombshell, who vowed to be open with her fans about her surgery, spoke about the process in an interview with the MailOnline.
“I was diagnosed with a condition when I came out the villa, purely through me doing some research,” she told the publication.
In an attempt to raise awareness of the condition, she added: “The condition is called lipoedema – it can happen to any part of your body but for me it was my calves.”
She went on: “It’s fat cells that double and reproduce but exercise doesn’t break them down, which is the worst thing in the world.
“I’ve been offered gifted surgery since I came out the villa and you kind of think – I’m in the position now where I can pay for it.”
Shaughna admitted that she didn’t want to promote procedures that she got for free among fans who would be required to pay.
The television star shot to fame when she appeared in the winter Love Island series.
Although the star didn’t get lucky in love, she has since gone on to amass a huge social media following and has even launched her own fashion collection with In The Style.
