Trista Sutter has gone under the knife to have breast augmentation and eyelid surgery. The mother of two with Ryan Sutter, whom she met while filming The Bachelorette, admits breastfeeding played a major role in her surgery decision.

“After nursing both my kids for a year each, my boobs were deflated,” the mother of 5-year-old son Maxwell and 3-year-old daughter Blakesly told Life & Style. “And I had a droopy eye. It was something that I noticed in every picture I’ve ever taken.”

“I realized that the surgery was something I had to do for myself, just for my own self-confidence and to feel good again about being in bathing suits and being intimate with my husband,” the 39-year-old, who also admits the pressure of turning 40 played a role in her decision, added.

“He wanted me to be happy, so he said, ‘Whatever you need to do to make yourself happy, go for it.’”
