Ada’s midlife makeover

From new boobs to fuller lips, the Home And Away starlet has had a full body upgrade

Ada Nicodemou hasn’t been seen on screen in swimmers for more than a decade. But away from Summer Bay, she’s been going through a quiet transforma­tion all of her own – and she’s never looked better or more different!

The newly confident brunette, 41, says her sculpted abs and trim waist are the result of an intensive two-month challenge, and her boyfriend Adam Rigby is clearly impressed, likening his girlfriend to a model from Sports Illustrate­d magazine.

After Ada happily unveiled her new look, revealing she’s gone from 52kg to 47kg, surgeon

Dr Meaghan Heckenberg tells Woman’s Day she believes Ada’s also had a cosmetic freshen up.

“Ada looks like she’s had rhinoplast­y and probably some muscle relaxing injections and dermal fillers to give her that fresh look,” reveals the leading plastic surgeon, who has not treated the star.

CONFIDENCE BOOST

“An eyebrow lift can also be achieved by careful placement of muscle-relaxing injections, such as Botox or Dysport. Of course, she benefits from her Mediterran­ean heritage so she’s got great skin anyway.”

Whatever Ada’s doing seems to be paying off, with the motherof-one – who underwent a boob job in January last year – saying her confidence is at an all-time high. “Life is really good at the moment, I’m feeling really happy”.

‘I wanted to be the best version of myself at 41’

Taking control of her health and fitness was a conscious decision for Ada, who started to feel lethargic and unmotivate­d.

“I wanted to be the best version of myself at 41 and put myself first for a little bit,” says Ada, who has tragically had her fair share of heartache.

She lost her son Harrison, who was stillborn in 2014 and then endured a messy break-up with ex-husband Chrys Xipolitas.

Of course, Ada’s “best body ever” didn’t come without sacrifices. She committed to five weekly early morning workout sessions, as well as adopting the Keto diet, which requires devotees to ditch carbs, fruit and alcohol in favour of fats, meat, fish and vegetables.
