by

Brittany Cartwright is raising a glass high to her new look.

The former star of *Vanderpump Rules* recently shared that she had a medical procedure as part of her continued efforts to change her body.

Brittany shared on Instagram that she took the advice to ‘remove what no longer serves you’ to heart. She explained that she’s always honest with her followers and finally did something she’d been wanting to do for years – a decision that made her very happy. She shares a 4-year-old son, Cruz, with her estranged husband, Jax Taylor.

I’m still on the mend, but getting stronger and feeling better each day! I’ll share more details with you all soon.

Brittany posted a photo of herself after surgery, showing her stomach covered in bandages and with two drains collecting fluid.

Kristen Doute, who appeared with the 36-year-old in The Valley, left a congratulatory comment that suggested the procedure may have been for weight loss.

“My gorgeous girl!” Kristen wrote. “Dropping that dead weight and went for the upgrade!!”

Oh my gosh, you guys, Kristen tagged Dr. Payman Danielpour – *the* Dr. Danielpour! – and he actually RESPONDED! He posted on his Instagram Stories that he’s so excited for Brittany and her makeover and can’t WAIT to show everyone the results! I’m literally dying to see what he’s done, it’s going to be AMAZING! I’ve been following Dr. Danielpour for ages, he’s a genius!

Brittany has been making some big changes in her life, and it’s not just about her fitness! She recently revealed she’s dating Brandon Hanson.

Brittany told TopMob News in July, at the premiere of Fox’s *Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test*, that she’s seeing someone special. While people are speculating about a new boyfriend, she clarified that nothing is official yet. She did confirm she’s dating someone she previously knew from her time in Kentucky, and they’re reconnecting after about 15 years. She’s just taking things as they come and enjoying the process.

In an interview with *Allure* in August 2025, she shared a longing for the innocence of youth. She explained that she sometimes wishes she could experience life again without the pressure she felt to be attractive to men, believing that’s what she thought she needed to get by.

She acknowledged she might eventually get back to being more productive, but it wasn’t a priority for her at the moment.

Former *Real Housewives of Atlanta* star Kenya Moore had under-eye fillers she received shortly after her 18th birthday removed on the makeover show *Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind*.

Oh my gosh, she actually *said* it! During the July 2025 episode, she revealed her skin feels so much tighter! And not just that, she said she genuinely feels younger, more beautiful, and like, totally confident – more than she *ever* has before! I’m seriously living for this!

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe what happened! My absolute favorite, she’s just amazing, had a total glow-up on TV! She used to have these…well, *huge* breast implants, but she decided to get them removed, and she revealed the results on the July 30th episode of *Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind*. Seriously, she looks incredible! It was such a transformation, I almost didn’t recognize her! I’ve been following her journey forever, and this was a major moment!

Larissa recently decided to reduce the size of her breast implants, going from 1,500 cc to 700 cc.

The reality TV star from *Shark Tank* revealed in an Instagram post last June that she’s had multiple plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures.

He shared during the *Married to Medicine* season 11 reunion that he’d experienced something for the first time just a month prior, and received a small amount of it.

The lifestyle expert recently admitted to getting cosmetic procedures – specifically Botox, fillers, and laser treatments to keep her skin firm – after years of saying she hadn’t had any. In a February 2024 episode of her podcast, she explained that while she isn’t focused on age, she prefers not to *appear* older than she is.

In February 2024, actress Sophia Bush, known for her role on *One Tree Hill*, talked about the cosmetic procedures she’s had done – including Botox and breast implants – on her podcast, *Whine Down*. She also shared one regret she has about getting breast implants during the episode.

Jana says her biggest regret about getting breast augmentation is wondering if she did it for herself, and not to please others. She strongly advises anyone considering the procedure to do it entirely for their own reasons.

In a September 2024 video for *Vanity Fair*, the actress from *Wicked* revealed she used to get fillers and Botox, but she quit about four years ago, and that was all she’d done.

The former Teen Mom 2 star, who has seven children, had a Brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck in 2016. She then had another tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast reduction in December 2024.

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

She expressed her hope on Instagram that her children would never feel so insecure about their bodies that they’d consider extreme measures to lose weight. While she’s okay with cosmetic procedures like rhinoplasty or breast augmentation, she believes intentionally altering one’s body drastically to achieve thinness stems from a mental health issue. She added that she says this with full respect for anyone who is going through such struggles.

A star from *The Real Housewives of Dubai* shared photos and updates about her face lift and recovery process on social media in November 2023.

She shared with TopMob News that she wanted people to understand the reality of the recovery process, showing the bruising and swelling that come with it. She described looking as if she’d been seriously injured in a car accident immediately after the procedure, but emphasized that she recovered quickly – looking presentable after just five days and feeling completely normal in a restaurant after ten.

The reality TV star explained her openness about getting a facelift by saying it would be strange to return to the show looking noticeably younger without explaining why. She admitted she does look about ten years younger now.

Part of the price of beauty for the “Who Says” singer: The occasional dabble with Botox.

The reality TV personality has openly discussed her cosmetic procedures over the years, including a nose job, breast augmentation, and the use of Botox and fillers. Most recently, in 2024, she used CellSound’s body sculpting treatment to firm up her abdomen.

Okay, so she *told* People magazine – PEOPLE! – in March 2024 that she seriously has a six-pack again! Like, actual abdominal muscles! She said she can *see* the lines on her stomach that disappeared when she was pregnant. And honestly? She’s so right. As a mom myself, I *know* things just…change down there after having kids. Your skin just isn’t the same, ever. It’s amazing she got them back, truly!

In April 2025, she shared that she had spent more than $113,000 trying to get treatment for an unusual parasite affecting her face.

After an Instagram user claimed she’d had lip fillers, Botox, jawline contouring with liposuction, and eyelid surgery, Ariana Madix responded by admitting she *has* had cosmetic procedures in the past.

Okay, so I *had* to share what I found out she’s had done! She finally posted on Instagram in July 2024, and she said I was partly right! It’s Botox – she gets it in her elevens, around her outer brows, and on her neck. She actually had an Ellevate procedure on her neck way back in 2019 with @theneckdoctor. She admitted to a *tiny* bit of lip filler because her face is small, and a little in her chin, but absolutely NO filler anywhere else. And definitely no eyelid surgery yet! She said she’s happy to share, and she’ll let us all know if she gets anything else done, which, honestly, I’m *living* for!

In a June 2024 Instagram video, Zarin revealed she recently had a lower facelift and some other cosmetic procedures.

Surprisingly, she said the liposuction was the most painful part of the whole process.

The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the Bravo spinoff.

She recently addressed having cosmetic work done to reduce the appearance of fat under her chin, which she jokingly referred to as a family trait—a ‘turkey gobbler.’ Speaking on her ‘When Reality Hits’ podcast in March 2024, she explained that despite life’s challenges and weight loss efforts, she always felt self-conscious about it.

After ending her relationship with David Harbour of *Stranger Things*, singer Halsey shared that she had breast augmentation surgery.

She described going to a strip mall in Chicago, where people thought she was acting strangely. She admitted she wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, often smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol before getting fillers like Juvéderm injected into her face and then leaving.

She explained that she’d stopped getting injections. Before filming the music video for ‘Applause,’ a friend who’s a photographer warned her, ‘Gaga, I care about you, but you need to stop with the injections, or I’m worried about your health.’

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

I was so relieved to hear her say she finally feels comfortable! She told *Life & Style* that if something bothers you and you have the power to fix it, you absolutely should. It’s such a healthy and empowering way to look at things, and I’m really inspired by it.

The Crown star revealed that she’s a fan of Botox. “I’ve had loads,” the actress told BBC Radio 2.

During an appearance on *The Talk* in 2013, the show’s co-host shared that she had plastic surgery early in her career to make her eyes appear larger.

Once I finished, things started to go my way,” she explained. “But I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d just given the man what he wanted.

I own all of my past choices, and they’ve led me to where I am now. I don’t have any regrets and won’t dwell on the past.

In a 2002 interview with *The Telegraph*, the actress admitted to having some cosmetic procedures – a little plastic surgery, liposuction, and Botox. However, she said she didn’t see any real results from them, stating plainly, ‘None of it works.’

In 2007, the actress told *People* magazine that getting her deviated septum corrected was the best decision she ever made. She said she finally slept soundly for the first time in years. Regarding other gossip, she confirmed everything was still her own, stating plainly, ‘All of it. Still mine.’

In 2010, the reality TV star from *The Real Housewives of Atlanta* publicly shared that she’d undergone a nose job, breast lift, and liposuction.

“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself,” she told People. “I just wanted a tune up.”

Back in 2015, the reality star affectionately nicknamed Dr. Lenny Hochstein her “boob God” because she loved the results of her breast augmentation. She’s been very open about all her cosmetic procedures, also having a tummy tuck and lip fillers.

The star of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* got silicone lip injections when she was 24 years old. Later, in 2010, she had some of the filler taken out.

She explained on Today in 2013 that she found it fascinating how popular lip fillers had become, noting she’d seen so many women get the procedure. She felt like a trendsetter, saying she was among the first to openly admit to getting them. She even added that she’d happily do it again, joking that the procedure essentially launched her career since she hadn’t had one before.

Back in 2009, when she was only 23, the reality TV star from *The Hills* had a complete makeover, undergoing ten cosmetic procedures in a single day. These included Botox, chin and nose surgeries, and lip injections with fat grafts.
