Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan – who played Rosie Webster on the ITV soap – showed off her ‘black eye’ after undergoing cosmetic surgery
Helen Flanagan has shown off her ‘black eyes’ after undergoing cosmetic surgery. The Coronation Street star – who played Rosie Webster in the ITV soap – was seen sporting some bruising around her eye in a new post on social media.
The Corrie star has been open about the surgery she has undergone, which at times she has been heavily criticised for. She opened up in 2022 about undergoing a breast enhancement and said it really helped her to get her confidence back.
Speaking a few years back, she said of her decision: “I was quite open here on Instagram in January about my recent boob job. This was something I wanted to do for a really long time and by doing so I’ve really got my confidence back.
“I breastfed in total for three years. Matilda I fed for eight months. Delilah I fed for 13 months. Charlie I fed for 14 months. As soon as I finished my breastfeeding journey with Charlie I wanted to get them done pretty much straight away. I felt like you could tie them in a bow. I had to wait though for six months after feeding and then I went for it in January.”
She added: “I don’t regret one second of my breastfeeding journeys they were precious times. I was a little bit nervous I was worried they were going to be too big for my frame but they are so perfect for me and so in proportion.”
As part of her latest treatment, Helen underwent polynucleotide cosmetic facial surgery in her latest procedure. It is a type of cosmetic surgery, which uses DNA fragments to help to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin. It gives a youthful and radiant complexion but can initially cause redness, swelling and bruising where they are injected.
In 2019, Helen also decided to have Botox and explained how it has made her feel more confident.
“I felt super tired from having Delilah and I wanted to feel fresher and more confident in myself. I would take pictures on my phone with the kids and would be shocked how much older I looked where in my head I still feel like I’m 20,” she said.
“I’m so happy with my Botox and if you’re like me and still want to look 23, then it’s a good idea.”
Just a few weeks ago, Helen recalled how she was verbally abused by a man on the Tube for standing up for another woman. She explained how the woman had been harassed by the man and when she stood up for the woman, she was verbally abused too.
“He was really awful and I actually felt really intimidated, and I felt like I couldn’t say much to him because I did feel really intimidated by him. He said to me, it was like the weirdest thing he could have said, ‘You’ve got so much Botox in your forehead’, and I was sat there with an iced coffee, and he was like, ‘I’m surprised you can even drink through a straw,'” she recalled.
