Model Thylane Blondeau frolics on beach just months after doctors rushed to save her life

Thylane Blondeau has proved that she's fully on the mend after she was spotted frolicking on the beach in the South of France while rocking a striking red bikini.

The model, 20, who was previously named as 'the most beautiful girl in the world' has recovered after undergoing multiple surgeries late last year after an ovarian cyst burst inside of her.

The brunette bombshell has long suffered from painful ovarian cysts, and last October, she documented her 'hellish' surgeries on social media which left her in debilitating pain and suffering.

Thankfully, Thylane appears to be loving life again, and she looked overjoyed to be able to hit the beach in the South of France on Monday alongside her fiancé, Ben Attal.

She showcased her incredible model figure in a ribbed red bikini as she soaked up the sun while frolicking in the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea.

Thylane beamed as she traipsed in and out of the water as she made sure to take breaks from sunbathing.

The model's South of France getaway comes just months after she shared a worrying health update from hospital.

The French star, who topped TC Candler’s coveted list of 100 Most Beautiful Faces in 2007 at the age of six, took to social media at the time to detail her battle with debilitating cysts which had 'haunted' her for years.

At the time, Thylane posted concerning photos from her hospital bed as she explained her health problems began in 2020 when an ovarian cyst 'exploded' in her stomach.

Although she had undergone surgery, Thylane was experiencing pain three months later - which doctors put down to the after-effects from her first operation.

"At the beginning everyone ( and I ofc ) thought it was because of the operation," she explained in a lengthy Instagram caption.

"This year I saw three different gynecologists, I’ve seen more than 4 radiology centers in Paris and all of them said the same thing, ‘don’t worry U have nothing it’s all in your head'.

"I couldn’t handle it anymore and they said that everything was fine and that I had a lil kyste and I will have to do a check up in 2-3 months."

However, Thylane explained doctors then found a cyst measuring more than five centimetres that was 'touching her ovary' and she was whisked into hospital for emergency surgery that same day.

Following the traumatic experience, Thylane urged her fans to push for expert advice when suffering from chronic pain, and told them not to be dismissed by doctors.

“From this experience I’ve learned that when you’re body hurts, don’t let it slide and take care of it, you must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heals it,” she wrote.

“Any pain even the little ones can hide something way more important,” Thylane added, as she thanked her doctor who “literally saved my life”.
