MAFS stars have their ribs ‘recontoured’ and ‘pushed in’ after flying to Bali for surgery that’s illegal in Australia

MAFS Australia stars Bec Zacharia and Awhina Rutene have revealed they’re going under the knife to have their ribs “recontoured” in a procedure that’s illegal in Australia.
Bec, who became one of the most controversial stars of the latest series, said she had been flooded with hate by nasty trolls commenting on her appearance.
The reality star, who tied the knot with Danny Hewitt on the show, has previously been open about her drastic weight loss, losing over 4st.
In a new video with influencer Joshua Fox, Bec admitted she still had a lot of loose skin that she was desperate to get rid of as she flew to Bali for the procedure.
Speaking to the influencer, she said: “I’ve got a lot of loose skin, this is the most vulnerable I’m ever going to be because there are parts of me that I can’t stand looking in the mirror.
“Your body, your choice, what you feel confident with and what you feel comfortable, f***ing do it.
“So why are all these Karen’s coming at me. Let me get my ribs done.”
The TV star said: “No one wants to look like me, see this sloth over here.
“Get your teeth done, get your jaw done, get your skin done, get your nose done, trust me if I could I would.”
Joshua shared his fears, saying: “It’s not available in Australia yet because it take a long time for things to be approved there.
“I just worry it sets this new standard.”
Meanwhile, second bride Awhina, who starred on the show in 2025, said she was also planning to undergo the same procedure to achieve a more “hourglass” figure.
She said: “There was no way I was going to be removing ribs from my body where it’s protecting vital organs, I was really worried about all of that.
“But I looked into it, it’s rib contouring, where they are going to angle my rib inwards to give me that natural hourglass silhouette.
“I’m not worried that I’m a blue print for anyone else.”
Joshua captioned the post: “In a matter of hours, Bec, Awhina and the other influencers on this trip will all undergo the ‘rib recontouring’ procedure here in Bali. But why are they doing this? And do they think they’re setting a dangerous example?
“Ep 2 of the investigative pod series out now. Follow here for part 3 and our journey in the hospital.”
In May, Bec returned to social media after her ‘ban’ over a dress scandal as she’s mocked by her show rival.
The TV star endured an explosive time during her Married At First Sight stint with groom Danny amid clashes with bride Gia Fleur.
Just weeks after Bec was dumped at Final Vows her actions caused her Instagram account to be deleted from the platform entirely.
Bec claimed that her main profile was removed after she was reported by other users because she was involved in drama with an Australian designer bridal rental company reports Heart.
Now, Bec is back on Instagram and captioned a series of images: “Sticks and stones may break our bones, but names will NEVER hurt us.”
The images included a smiling Bec posing alongside MAFS bride Alissa Fay who was also blindsided at the end of the series.
Brides Gia and Bec clashed several times throughout the season after failing to hit it off just minutes into meeting during the hen party.
And after the dress scandal, Gia took to social media and mocked Bec saying: “In the light of what’s going on just now with some people losing their Instagrams and people acting at fashion week above people.
“Let’s be humble.”
Gia then modelled a $12 dollar outfit and explained that nobody knew them before the show as she appeared to then impersonate Bec.
Gia’s followers flocked to comment and one said: “Still attacking Bec.”
Another said: “Let’s be humble. Then goes on to talk about someone else… that’s also not being humble.”
A third added: “The impression at the end was funny.”
Awhina and show husband Adrian had a highly turbulent relationship.
They chose to stay together at final vows, but split just a few days later.
