Brittany Cartwright admitted she secretly had a cosmetic procedure done before officially pulling the plug on her marriage to estranged husband Jax Taylor.
The “Valley” star candidly revealed she underwent an AirSculpt fat removal and skin tightening session in May to prepare her “revenge body” for the summer.
“I wanted to look good after everything I’ve been through this year,” she told the Daily Mail in an interview published Wednesday. “I want to look my very best. I wanted to get my sparkle back.”
Cartwright, 35, explained she “wasn’t really nervous” when she underwent the two-hour treatment over Memorial Day weekend.
“The work was done on my stomach,” she continued. “I wanted some help with contouring on my lower abdomen because after I had, my son Cruz [in 2021], my stomach was just never the same.
“Now I am smaller and I feel great about it.”
The TV personality added, “It was one session I call it ‘one and done’ because not only did it take out fat, but it also tightened my skin at the same time. It is not like traditional liposuction it’s different — it’s body sculpting.”
Cartwright said the recovery time for the session is about six months but she went to dinner after the session and “didn’t feel bad.”
“It just felt like I had a really hard workout the day before because I was sore here and there,” she recalled.
While the “Vanderpump Rules” alum had a mini makeover, she’s moreover focused on working on herself to internally “heal” from her and Taylor’s bombshell breakup.
“To be honest with you I thought I would be with Jax forever so this is so new for me,” she added. “It is taking some time to heal and move on.”
Last month, Cartwright filed to divorce Taylor, 45, after five years of marriage. She cited their separation date as Jan. 24.
The reality stars share their three-year-old son, Cruz, who’ve they maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship for since announcing their separation earlier this year.
Ahead of Cartwright’s filing, Taylor was seeking mental health treatment and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder.
Earlier this month, he spoke out about the divorce filing on the “When Reality Hits” podcast, saying it was the “right decision for their family.”
