by

Brittany Cartwright has her sparkle back—and her tubes intact.

Fans were puzzled by a recent post from the actress, who described how her body was reacting to a medical treatment.

She shared in an Instagram video on October 13th that she’s recovering from major surgery but is feeling improved each day. She explained she recently had her tubes removed, and the procedure went surprisingly well with very little pain – she hardly felt anything at all.

The 36-year-old shared that she immediately felt much better after the tubes were taken out. While still swollen, she said she felt ‘amazing’.

Shortly after, Brittany—mother to 4-year-old Cruz, whose father is her separated husband, Jax Taylor—explained what she meant by “tubes” in a follow-up message.

She clarified in a follow-up Instagram Story that she was referring to her drainage tubes. She’d been calling them ‘tubes’ simply because of their shape. She also confirmed she still has her fallopian tubes, addressing questions she’d received through direct messages.

Earlier this month, the reality star posted a photo of herself with bandages and surgical drains on her stomach, saying she was feeling better and losing weight each day.

She announced on Instagram on October 5th that she’d finally done something she’d wanted for a long time, saying she was incredibly happy about it. She’s known for being honest and true to herself, and this decision was clearly for her own happiness.

A few days later, she publicly shared details of the cosmetic surgeries she’d had after having children, which she called a “mommy makeover.” This included work to rebuild her abdominal muscles, fat removal through liposuction, a tummy tuck, and a breast implant replacement with a smaller size.

Speaking on her podcast, *When Reality Hits*, she explained that while the recovery was painful, the surgery has dramatically improved her life. She firmly believes it was worth the discomfort and wouldn’t hesitate to have the procedure again, now that she’s fully recovered.

She told *Allure* recently that when she meets someone who seems completely untouched by the world, she actually *wishes* she could be them again. It’s like, she was so caught up in trying to be what she thought guys wanted, believing it was the only way she could *make it* through life. It’s just…wow. It really hits you how much pressure she was under.

She acknowledged she might get around to things eventually, but it wasn’t a priority for her at the moment.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen so many trends come and go, and sometimes people change their minds about procedures they once loved. That’s exactly what happened with a former star from *The Real Housewives of Atlanta*. She recently decided to remove the under-eye fillers she got when she was just 18! She documented the whole process on the show *Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind*, and it was really interesting to watch her journey to reverse the look.

During the July 2025 episode, the reality star shared that her skin felt firmer and she felt more youthful, beautiful, and confident than she ever had before.

Honestly, reducing my implant size from 1,500cc to 700cc has been incredibly freeing and healing for me. I told TopMob News it feels like I finally got myself back – like I stopped living up to someone else’s idea of what I should look like and started embracing who I truly am. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

The reality TV star from *Shark Tank* revealed in an Instagram post from June 2025 that she’s had several plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures over the years.

A month later, she spoke candidly about wrestling with her body image.

As a lifestyle expert, one of my biggest fears is my children grappling with body image issues to the point where they’d consider extreme measures just to be thin. Honestly, I’m okay with someone choosing a cosmetic procedure like a rhinoplasty or breast augmentation if *they* want it. But when it comes to drastic changes solely to achieve thinness, I truly believe it stems from a deeper mental health struggle, and I say that with all the respect in the world to anyone facing those challenges.

As a lifestyle expert, I always believe in being honest about self-care, and that includes being upfront about procedures. I wanted people to understand what recovery *really* looks like – the bruising, the swelling, everything. Honestly, right after the procedure, I looked like I’d been through a serious accident! But what’s amazing is how quickly things improve. Within five days, I was able to go out looking presentable, and just ten days later, I was back to normal, enjoying a meal at a restaurant. It’s good to know recovery isn’t forever!

Honestly, I was a little shocked, but Ariana didn’t hide anything! She basically confirmed she *has* had all of those procedures. I admire her honesty – it’s cool she’s just owning it!

Okay, so I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what I’ve had done, and I’m happy to share! I do get a little Botox – specifically, around my eleven lines, in my outer brows, and to soften my neck. I actually had a procedure called Ellevate on my neck back in 2019 with a great doctor. I’ve also had a very minimal amount of lip filler because I have a smaller face, and a little bit in my chin. But honestly, that’s it! No filler anywhere else, and I definitely haven’t had any eyelid surgery yet. I wanted to be upfront about it all, and I’ll be sure to share if I decide to try anything else in the future.

In a June 2024 Instagram video, Zarin revealed she recently had a lower facelift and some other small procedures. She also had a fat transfer to her hands, which she’d been unhappy with.

She admitted she wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, often smoking and drinking before getting fillers like Juvéderm.

Oh my god, it’s just… she actually *said* it! She was talking about how everything’s been removed, all the stuff she used to do, and then she dropped this bomb! Apparently, before the ‘Applause’ video, a friend – a photographer, can you believe it? – was SO worried about her. He basically told her, ‘Gaga, I love you, but seriously, if you don’t stop with… well, whatever she was injecting, he was going to lose it!’ It’s just… wow. I can’t even imagine being that concerned for her, but also, it’s so Gaga, you know? It just proves how far she’d go with her art. It’s amazing and terrifying all at once!

The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

Looking back, once I finally went through with it, things really started to happen for me. But honestly, it left me questioning if I’d compromised my values to please someone else. It’s a feeling I think a lot of us can relate to – that moment when success feels a little…complicated.

I own all of my past choices, and they’ve led me to where I am now. I’m not dwelling on the past, though – I’m focused on the present and future.
