Rachael Finch has opened up about her decision to remove her breast implants.
The former Miss Universe Australia 2009 got a boob job when she was just 17 after feeling pressure from the pageant circuit and modelling industry.
Speaking to Body + Soul magazine, the 33-year-old said: ‘I feel like I’m truly myself.’

The mum-of-two also said that since removing her implants, she’s ‘the most content, comfortable and happy’ that she’s ever felt in her whole life.
‘When I was younger, I was very wrapped up in my appearance,’ she admitted.
‘As I’ve become older and matured, had children and become a woman, I’ve realised that my appearance doesn’t define me.’
Last year, Finch revealed her history of ‘calorie restriction and excessive training’.
Posting an Instagram photo of herself at a restaurant with her dancer husband Michael Miziner, she wrote: ‘Once upon a time it was all about counting calories. Restrictive portions, excessive training, & dismissing intuition’.

‘It’s not all perfect now, but it’s a thousand times better than what it was. And that comes down to a few things,’ she continued.
The mother-of-two went on to list the catalysts for changing her mindset.
‘1. Education around holistic health and commitment to taking a mind, body, soul approach. Always,’ she began.
‘2. Bio-individuality. Understanding that we are all different machines & that my body requires different treatment to the next,’ she continued.
‘3. Tapping into intuition & gently surrendering to something that may feel uncomfortable at first.’
‘4. The man on the other end of the table from me,’ she finished.
