After a botched liposuction and breast enhancement operation and a spell in rehab, Tara Reid has finally got her life on track.

The American Pie actress, 33, looks happy and healthy again as she showed off her bikini body on a yacht off the coast of the French Riviera.

Following two months in rehab at the beginning of this year, Tara has a new lease of life and has found love with German internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann.

Rippled: Tara admitted an operation in 2004 has left her stomach looking 'bulgy'

Before Tara gets her career back on track after signing on for several movies, the reformed party girl has been enjoying a romantic holiday with her new boyfriend Michael.

As well as sunbathing and enjoying a spot of jet skiing, Tara has also been socialising with designer friend Roberto Cavalli on his nearby yacht.

After having surgery to correct an incorrect liposuction procedure, Tara is clearly feeling confident with her body again.

Spending the day sunbathing on a yacht near St Tropez, Tara showed off her figure in a pink and turquoise bikini.

The bikini is likely from the actress's swimwear collection Mantra, which she launched last year.
Instead of the Tara's previously bizarre, rippled look, her stomach is now looked smooth and flat.
The actress admitted her body was disfigured after a joint liposuction-breast enhancement operation went wrong in 2004.

She said: 'I got lipo because even though I was skinny, I wanted - I’m not going to lie – a six-pack. I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.
'Right after the surgery, I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, "Don’t worry, it’s going to be better." But after six months of "it’s going to get better," it started to get worse and worse.'

She then sparked fears for her health after she was photographed looking extremely skinny on the set of a fashion shoot in Bali in 2006.

After finding fame in American Pie in 2000, Tara went on to become one of Hollywood's most notorious partygirls and was pictured falling out of nightclubs in cities across the world, from Los Angeles to Paris to London.

But in December last year, she decided to conquer her demons and spent 60 days at Promises rehab clinic in Malibu, California, known for its celebrity clients.

After checking out in February this year, Tara said she was clean and focused on her career.
She told In Touch Weekly magazine: 'Rehab saved my life. Before, I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it. Now I can't wait.
'The hardest thing was walking through the door for the first time (and) finally admitting that I had a problem.

'My focus is to get back in mycareer and stay sober, and keep on having a better life one day at a time.'
While in rehab, she also dumped her boyfriend Julien Jarmoune and was single until she met Michael last month.

The couple have been inseparable since they first spotted together in Germany last month.
