Ulrika Jonsson has unveiled her new body after having £11,000 of cosmetic surgery. In March, the 41-year-old mother-of-four had two breast remodelling procedures, as well as a new surgical technique to remove excess fat from under her arms. Ulrika told Hello! magazine: "I just wanted to repair what Mother Nature had inflicted on me during years of child-bearing and rearing; it has taken me 41 years to feel this good - this really has changed my life." She added: "I'd been unhappy with my breasts for years. When the doctor removed the bandages, I was on a high. The first surprise was that my breasts stayed up; the old ones would have dropped somewhere around my waist. "My new ones were firm, the nipples were smaller and I still had sensation in them. The best thing was that my 'new' breasts were actually my old ones, recycled. No amount of diet or exercise could have produced them. I feel like I've got the breasts of a 16-year-old." The TV presenter is delighted with her new shape and happy with her family and current husband Brian Monet, but doesn't think she'll have any more children. Ulrika said: "The last pregnancy really took its toll on my body; I'm coming up to 42 next month and wouldn't feel so confident about having another child again. The only shock news is that for once, I'm completely happy."
