Natalie revealed in June she felt ‘weird’ after growing several centimetres taller following her scoliosis surgery.
‘[I’m] 183cm tall at least because I don’t know If I’m standing up properly yet,’ she said during an Instagram Q&A. ‘But yeah, [I’m] six feet tall. It feels weird. I feel taller.’
The Newcastle-born model had undergone surgery a month earlier to correct the curvature, which develops in about one in every 15 Australian girls during puberty.

She said before going under that she was both ‘excited and terrified all at the same time’ about the operation, which isn’t without its risks.
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that typically develops during the growth-spurt stage just before puberty.
While the condition, which is estimated to affect about three per cent of teenagers worldwide, can be caused by disorders such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown.

Most cases are mild and resolve naturally, but some spine deformities worsen as children grow.
The most severe curvatures can dramatically reduce the amount of space within the chest cavity, making it difficult to breathe.
One of the most famous people to suffer from scoliosis is Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter Princess Eugenie, who was diagnosed at the age of 11.
The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson underwent corrective surgery a year later and used the resulting scar as inspiration for her wedding dress.
