Bachelorette star Ali Oetjen stuns in gorgeous bikini after breast reduction
Ali Oetjen has shared a stunning snap flaunting her figure in a tiny black bikini, revealing she’s loving life after having her implants removed.
She’s the Bachelorette star who has found love – and forged a successful career in the health and wellness space.
And after revealing she’d changed her mind about her breast implants last year and had them removed – it seems Ali is loving her natural body.
Taking to Instagram recently, the former reality star shared a snap of herself walking along a serene waterside in a skimpy black bikini.
“Life is meant to be enjoyed,” she wrote. “During my 15min Meditation this morning this is what kept on repeating in my head “life is meant to be enjoyed”, it sure is!”

As well as sharing her positive thoughts for the day, the photo flaunted Ali’s figure – after previously admitting she hated certain parts of it.
After first appearing on Tim Robards’ season of The Bachelor, Ali surprised fans with her new look when she went on Bachelor in Paradise in 2018, appearing to have undergone a breast enlargement as well as cosmetic enhancements.
After months of speculation, she confirmed she had implants but said they were at odds with the “really healthy and positive body image” she wanted to promote for other women.
Several months later, the backlash led to her decision to remove the implants.
“I’m having my breast reduction in two days on Friday and will document my experience,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time.
“To everyone that said they’re too big, you hurt my feelings. To myself, I will never change my body for someone else. The lesson learnt when I was strongest.”
The reality star also shared a video of herself two days later in a hospital gown, writing that she was “going in” for her surgery.
Her boyfriend Taite Radley, who she met on The Bachelorette, has previously said he supports her decision and was by her side as she underwent surgery.
After her surgery, Ali opened up about her boob job “regret”, saying the surgery was not “money well spent”.
“If I had my time over, I would not have gotten them done,” she told The Sunday Telegraph.
“When I got them done, I did it for someone else. I thought it would make them happy.
“I have also had my lips done, ages ago, and won’t do it again. I would only ever have plastic surgery again to get my breast implants removed. I do not like my boobs.”
Her new bikini photo appears to mark a new era for the former reality star, one her 175,000 followers are supportive of.
“Absolute a great mantra. You are a fantastic inspiration,” one said.
“Pure natural beauty ali my dream goals to have a body as fit as yours you are stunning absolutely gorgeous I adore you,” another wrote.
