David Beckham, wife Victoria and their three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz surfaced in the French Riviera this week after not being seen for a couple of weeks or so. When last we saw Les Beckhams, Becks was unveiling his massive new Emporio Underwear ad campaign at Selfridge’s department store in London, England … but since then, the entire family has been pretty much out of sight — especially Vicki B. It is being reported that VB underwent breast reduction surgery and used her time out of the public eye to recuperate. Here are a few pics of the family at the airport yesterday as they bid adieu to the French Riviera on their way out of town:

For a woman who has spent the past week relaxing in the South of France sunshine, Victoria Beckham looked a little..well, flat today. But then, that was the idea, really. Mrs Beckham has been recovering from the latest round of cosmetic surgery to reduce the size of her breasts. The 35-year-old mother of three showed off a less busty frame in a tight grey top matched with denim cut-off shorts and high-heeled boots. It was a much more subtle look for the woman whose cleavage has had more ups and downs than a bouncy castle. And just to make sure he matched perfectly, husband David chose a rather appropriate flat cap for himself. The couple left the French Rivera on a private jet accompanied by their three sons, Brooklyn, ten, Romeo, six and Cruz, four. Mrs Beckham is said to have had the reduction, believed to be her third bout of breast surgery, last month in the hope of toning down her WAG shape. She saw a Los Angeles surgeon and had a set of implants removed which reduced her bust size from a generous 34DD to a less obtrusive 34B. A source told The Sun last week: “Victoria has wanted her implants taken out for a while. She felt that was part of her old WAG image – the big hair, big boobs and fake tan – and that she has moved on since those days. She had the op three weeks ago and is very pleased with the results. After the operation she came to London for business and then went to France to heal properly in private.” Victoria’s spokeswoman has declined to comment on the surgery.

Oh yes … when spokespeople decline to comment they’re pretty much confirming the news. Had no surgery taken place, the spokesperson (I’m sure) would’ve been happy to deny. I have to say … good for VB. Her bulbous globes have been lookin’ quite ridic in recent years … lettin’ a little air of her balloons (if you will) sounds like a great idea. I’m not sure what is going on with those cut off shorts, tho. She’s been wearing the hell out of those shorts for the past few weeks … mebbe they’re her comfy recovery clothes? In any event, glad to see the Beckhams out and about again … I’ve missed them. No word on where the family is headed to next but I do know that the LA Galaxy is expecting Becks back in LA in order for him to finish out his contract (finally) with them.
