The “Bachelorette” alum underwent breast reduction surgery five months ago. To celebrate the milestone, Recchia shared a sexy lingerie photo of herself, showing off her battle scar and proving how proud and strong she is as a woman.

“Happy five months post-op!!!,” she captioned the sexy photo, which gained attention from her Instagram followers.

“I admire you for getting the surgery and for being so open about it! 🙂 I know how important it is to feel confident in yourself (I have horrible insecurity surrounding my chest) and the first step can be very hard to take! :-),” one fan wrote.

Another expressed, “Scars for life!!!! I have poland syndrome (missing a muscle in my chest, 2 corrective surgeries) so I’ve got a big scar that runs underneath my left breast. thanks for normalizing it & making me feel more confident 🤍.”

As one of her fans commented, “You’re glowing. The scars get better ❤️‍🩹 I’m a year post-op and would do it again in a heartbeat!”

Rachel Recchia Talks Breast Reduction Surgery

After the procedure, Recchia opened up in an essay, telling the world why she decided to undergo the surgery.

“One day, I had a flat chest. Then, I woke up, and my boobs were bigger than everyone else’s. For me, the word that I can use to describe having large breasts is … uncomfortable. From the start, I could tell my triple Ds weren’t fitting my frame or lifestyle, and it never got better,” she explained.

“My chest was never something I wanted to show off. As a teenager, I didn’t want to be sexualized more than I already was. Then, as I got my degree in aviation and entered a male-dominated field, I felt I had to cover up,” she continued. “Then there was the physical pain of having large breasts on a small frame. I wanted to fly high as a cheerleader but struggled with back pain. Not to mention the inconvenience of wearing three sports bras when everyone else was wearing one.”

Recchia then opened up about her time on “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” explaining how finding a dress was a huge challenge and made her uncomfortable. “My discomfort came to a head when I was the star of a reality TV show and couldn’t find a dress to wear. Or I could, but it wasn’t the dress I wanted to wear,” she said. “When you’re dating 32 guys simultaneously, self-confidence is a must … and sometimes it felt hard to shine while wearing clothes that decidedly weren’t me. Stylist Cary Fetman and I joked that I was giving ‘mother of the bride’ during the rose ceremonies in my high-neck gowns. He’s great and patient, helping me feel the best I could.”

However, when the episodes aired, Bachelor Nation commented on Recchia’s fashion choices, which affected the “Bachelorette” lead. “When the episodes played back, and people made the same jokes online, it didn’t seem so funny anymore,” she said.
