Curvy Hollyoaks beauty Jennifer Metcalfe has undergone liposuction and dropped two dress sizes as a result.
The 26-year-old brunette, whose enviable hourglass figure earned her the Sexiest Female title at the Soap Awards and many male admirers, admitted to having the £2,000 operation to remove fat from her thighs and bum.
Jen said recently she had a 'love-hate relationship' with her J.Lo-esque behind: 'My bum is certainly a big one. There's nothing I can do about it! It's quite a shelf, it's got meat, it wobbles and it sticks out.'
Now the vaser liposuction procedure, carried out at Leicester's Beau Aesthetica salon two weeks ago, has seen the actress drop from a size 10-12 to a tiny size 6-8.
Gorgeous Jennifer told the press: 'I'm completely amazed at the results after just one operation. I feel like I've dropped a dress size - and I have!'
According to the Beau Aesthetica website the operation 'uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body' and is an alternative to more invasive surgery.
Jen, who was recently pictured on holiday in a daring cut-away swimsuit looking curvy and healthy, had put a few much needed pounds following her drastic weight loss in 2008. She shrunk to a tiny size 6 after splitting from footballer Jermaine Pennant and was pictured looking worryingly skinny in a green bikini.
But it seems that the Hollyoaks star, who plays feisty maneater Mercedes McQueen Fisher in the soap, wasn't happy with her new shapely body. She admitted in the past that she sometimes felt self-conscious about her bouncy booty.
