She’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women in the world – but that doesn’t mean Gisele Bundchen is immune to feeling insecure about her body.

Speaking with People recently, the Victoria’s Secret model opened up about undergoing a secret breast augmentation after breastfeeding left her chest slightly lopsided. Gisele, who shares a son, 8-year-old Benjamin, and daughter, 5-year-old Vivian, with NRL quarterback Tom Brady, nursed each of her kids for 18 months at a time.

What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only 3 hours of sleep #gettingready💄💅😉 O que seria de mim sem esse esquadrão da beleza depois de voar 15 horas e só dormir 3 horas. #mepreparando

“I was always praised for my body, and I felt like people had expectations from me that I couldn’t deliver,” she explained. “I felt very vulnerable, because I can work out, I can eat healthy, but I can’t change the fact that both of my kids enjoyed the left boob more than the right. All I wanted was for them to be even and for people to stop commenting on it.”

But as soon as she went under the knife, she immediately regretted her decision – an admission she made in her memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.

“When I woke up, I was like, ‘What have I done?’ I felt like I was living in a body I didn’t recognise,” she wrote, in an excerpt published by People. “For the first year I wore [baggy] clothes because I felt uncomfortable.”

A natureza faz parte de nós e quando estamos mais conectados com ela, estamos mais conectados com nós mesmos. 🍃 🙏🏼✨ Nature is a part of us and when we are more connected with it, we are more connected with ourselves.

It was only with the support of her husband, that she began to build her confidence up.

“He just said, ‘I love you no matter what,’ and that I looked beautiful,” she said. “This was definitely another lesson: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But I wish I would have learned that a different way.”
