MAFS UK star Bec Zacharia has opened up about undergoing a cosmetic procedure to reduce fat in her upper pubic area, known as a FUPA reduction, following her appearance on the show. The 35-year-old account manager told the Daily Mail she had 'a little bit of lipo on the top of my pelvis… like the top of my hoo-ha'. The procedure removes excess fat from the mons pubis to create a smoother contour.
Bec also revealed she lost nearly 10kg during filming due to stress and is considering further surgery to remove loose skin. 'I've put a bit of weight back on now, but I'd love my loose skin cut off my legs and stuff,' she said, adding that she would also like breast augmentation and a nose job.
Despite facing relentless online commentary about her appearance, particularly her jaw and mouth, Bec insists her confidence is no longer dependent on others' opinions. 'My confidence is back. I know my worth now,' she said. 'People can say whatever they want about me, but at the end of the day, I went into MAFS for love.'
Many viewers are unaware that Bec's current look is the result of reconstructive jaw surgery performed by her uncle, Dr Michael Zacharia, when she was 21. Born with a significant chin defect, she explained: 'Yeah, I was born without a chin pretty much. Having my chin and jaw surgery changed my life. It's the best thing that could have happened to me.'
While her time on the show did not lead to lasting love, Bec says the experience gave her clarity about relationships. 'I didn't find love, but I found what I will and won't accept in a relationship ever again,' she said. 'When you're being gaslit and manipulated, your gut tells you. You have to listen to it.'
