Phoebe Burgess shocked fans on Tuesday when she admitted to undergoing a secret breast reduction two years ago.
And photos taken before the ex-WAG, 33, went under the knife show how much her bust has changed thanks to her doctor’s expertise.
The former journalist often proudly showed off her cleavage in skimpy swimsuits.

Along with Sam, the blonde was wading through the surf and seen in a swimsuit basking in the sun on the sand.
It comes after Phoebe admitted she had a secret breast reduction in 2020.

Phoebe made the news Tuesday, sharing a series of photos on Instagram documenting the aftermath of the procedure.
She explained that she hid her ample cleavage under her ‘armpits’ for years and used mini bras before deciding to have surgery.
‘I’ve had a very personal, but very up and down relationship with my breasts. We are volatile. If we were in a real relationship I would have dumped them years ago,” she began her long caption.

‘But I learned to love, appreciate and even admire them again – when they supported me so graciously and steadfastly during those first months of breastfeeding, with a large supply of milk (the mastitis was not so appreciated) – and I look back on those as our golden years… but in 2020 I made a decision that would change my boobs forever.
“I never said anything about it, not out of shame or even a desire to hide the fact that I had my breasts reduced by surgery, but mostly because I never found it that interesting to anyone but me. And my breasts, obvs.’
She went on to explain that she would be discussing the process in the new episode of her podcast, Under The Gloss.
‘I’ve had a very personal, but very up and down relationship with my breasts. We are volatile. If we were in a real relationship I would have dumped them years ago,” she began her long caption
“The pressure on my neck, my nerves, my injured back increased…. there was a lingering, a mind-numbing, never-ending painful pull…and so I made up my mind. For myself. And I would make it again and again,” she added
Phoebe said it was “a choice I made for myself, for myself” and wanted to “celebrate my liberation from the decades of crushing, pushing down, hiding, resenting my chest.”
‘If you think uhh what boobs Phoebe? I had become the master of hiding them,’ she explained.
“Under strategic outfits, I did everything from wrap hacks to the Kim K-lift-and-squish with duct tape — which feels like you’re ripping your own nipples off when you remove them, and of course there was the multiple bra layer system where I wearing a supportive sports bra under a three-size-to-small sports crop designed to flatten (not ideal for deep breathing),’ she wrote.
‘Every bra I owned – and still own – is what the lady at DJs is [David Jones] called ‘The Minimiser’ – no underwire, no padding, and I bought them so tight that my breasts would literally be under my armpits.
“I thought this was all normal. And while I believed wholeheartedly that other women looked beautiful with their bodies, including those with bigger cup sizes than me, I just couldn’t relate to mine,” Phoebe continued.
Phoebe shared photos of her recovery in her candid post
‘BUT this wasn’t enough for me to surgically alter my body. I recognize that some women wanted bigger breasts. Some were forced to lose theirs. My problems felt superficial. Until the way they looked or felt naked was no longer the only problem I had with them.
“The pressure on my neck, my nerves, my injured back increased…. there was a lingering, a mind-numbing, never-ending painful pull…and so I made up my mind. For myself. And I would make it again and again.”
