Fierce debate has erupted online after Married at First Sight (MAFS) star Bec Zacharia revealed that she had travelled to Bali to undergo a controversial rib surgery, which narrows the waistline by bending and reshaping the two lowest pairs of ribs.
After the huge response she received ahead of the procedure, Bec chose to postpone her appointment to give herself more time to consider whether she wanted to go through with it.
Now, over a week after landing in Indonesia, Bec has made the decision to go ahead with the body alteration surgery, which is currently not approved in Australia.
“After taking some time to carefully consider all of the information available to me, I have decided to proceed with the Snatched Waist procedure here in Bali,” Bec told Chattr.
“As with any cosmetic procedure, I believe it’s important to take the time to understand the process, ask questions, weigh up the risks and benefits, and ensure that any decision aligns with your own personal goals and values. I have found the Snatched Waist procedure is one that aligns with me well.”
MAFS’ Bec reveals why she’s been so open about her rib surgery
Bec’s taken the unusual route of publicly detailing her upcoming aesthetic surgery, a choice that has left her open to a lot of scrutiny.
While she could have kept the rib procedure under wraps and never spoken publicly about it, she told Chattr that she believes it’s important for followers and fans to know that these results aren’t natural.
“I’ve always been open with my audience about this journey and I intend to continue being transparent throughout this experience. I believe adults have the right to make informed decisions about their own bodies and for me, transparency is far more responsible than pretending that results happen naturally,” she said.
The MAFS star said that while she’s been inundated with messages and social media comments urging her not to go ahead with the surgery, the decision is hers alone to make.
“While I understand that cosmetic procedures can generate public discussion this is ultimately a personal choice that I have made after careful consideration and consultation.
“I am comfortable with my decision and look forward to sharing my experience honestly, including both the physical and emotional aspects of the journey.”
