Chloe Goodman worried she'd die during corrective surgery
The 30-year-old model - who has Isla, three, and 18-month-old Hudson with fiance Grant Hall - had liposuction abroad six years ago before going under the knife once again recently for corrective liposuction, to combat issues brought on by the skin mottling and fibrosis she was left with, but she feared her children would be left without a mother if it all went wrong.
She told OK! Magazine: "It's the best decision I've made. But as a mum, you definitely have the fear of, ‘What if I don’t wake up? Am I putting myself through all of this for vanity?’ I might not wake up tomorrow and my kids won’t have a mum!"
However, the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star wanted her kids to have a "confident" mother and explained that the mottling - blotchy red skin that occurs when too much fat has been removed - has been "corrected" as much as is possible.
Chloe is now "so grateful" to the plastic surgeons who worked on her.
She said: "The kids needed a happy, confident mum and I was miserable.
"They have corrected it [the mottling] as best as they can. I’m definitely not bothered about it as much now. Six years of my life hiding and editing my stuff so you couldn’t see it, and amazingly they were able to fix it. I am so grateful.
"I want to meet up with my friends who I haven’t seen in God knows how long and grab back a bit of independence again. I want to enjoy my family, my kids and my career but also still have that time for me!"
