That Tara Reid was once among the most beautiful young stars in Hollywood is no longer a secret, as neither is the fact that she underwent several surgical interventions and was no longer able to wear a swimsuit because of it. Last year, Tara underwent corrective surgery – and is now proud to show off her slim figure once more, Us Magazine writes.

This officially marks the first time that the star puts on a two-piece swimsuit since going under the knife again to have her implants reduced and the bulging on her stomach made to disappear. As she was also saying in an interview at the end of last year, having surgery in the first place was the least smart move she ever made in her life, for not only did she not get the results she anticipated, but she was also left with considerable scarring and loose skin.

Now, Tara is back in shape – so much so that she even dares to break out the swimsuit again. “Tara Reid is back in a two-piece. On Saturday in Las Vegas, the 34-year-old actress stepped out in a green bikini – and for Reid, it was more than just a summertime kickoff. It’s the first time Reid has worn a bikini in public since two botched 2004 plastic surgery procedures have been corrected. Reid told Us Weekly in 2006 that she asked her surgeon for ‘big Bs... he gave me Cs and I didn’t want them’,” the e-zine writes.

“The Taradise star also underwent body contouring with the same surgeon. ‘My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing,’ she told Us. ‘I had a hernia, this huge bump next to my bellybutton. As a result, I couldn’t wear a bikini. I lost a lot of work.’ Since then, Reid has had corrective surgery to erase that surgeon’s mistakes,” Us further informs, adding that the star even posed for a men’s magazine to show off her new, surgically-corrected body.

Though it’s a far cry from how she used to look, this is the closest Tara has been since she first decided to go under the knife for enhancements and other improvements to her body. Back when her tummy first made headlines, Tara said she only wanted to have a six-pack but was too lazy to work out – and the surgeon totally ruined her figure.
