Rita Simons prepares for breast reduction surgery
In an Instagram post uploaded on Monday, the 49-year-old star visited a Pall Mall Medical hospital, where she revealed she was preparing to have her breast reduction surgery next week.
In the first slide, she can be seen lying down as her doctor did a check on her. For the following slide, Rita was all smiles as she was captured posing with the doctor.
“Pre-op checks today… Thank you so much to Pall Mall Medical and the wonderful Mr Ramachandran Prasad for such an easy experience,” she wrote in her caption.
“In prep for my breast reduction next week, I had a scan to make sure everything’s ok. Being post-hysterectomy and on HRT, I’m always mindful of checking my breasts for any changes. I already have cysts, so we wanted to be extra safe and do an ultrasound,” Rita continued.
She revealed she was “all good” and that her doctor is “happy”, sharing that she “couldn’t have asked for a smoother, quicker experience”.
