Brittany Cartwright offered fans a health update following her recent plastic surgery.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, October 12, to share a glimpse of her fit physique after Us Weekly exclusively confirmed a tummy tuck and new breast implants via an exclusive source on Monday, October 6, the Valley star, 36, said she had reached a recovery milestone.
“I’m still recovering from a huge surgery even though I’m feeling better every day. I had my tubes removed today and it went so much better than I thought. It was, like, hardly any pain, I barely felt anything at all,” the reality TV star said with a smile. “So, I feel so free, and I feel so much better. It’s crazy how much better I instantly felt with having the tubes removed. So, still very swollen but, oh my Gosh, I’m feeling amazing.”
Us confirmed via a statement from Cartwright’s rep Lori Krebs last week that Cartwright had undergone a “mommy makeover” to launch “an empowering new chapter in her journey of self-confidence, healing and growth.”
Cartwright’s Instagram Story update was filmed by herself in a mirror inside her home, capturing a full-length look at her recovering frame in figure-hugging activewear that accentuated her tiny waistline.
Krebs’ statement to Us confirmed that the surgery was “something Brittany had wanted to do for herself for quite some time, and she finally took the step.” The procedures were performed by the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group’s Dr. Payman Danielpour and Dr. John Layke.
The insider who confirmed which procedures Cartwright had done also noted that “she removed the [breast] implants she had, and got new ones.”
Cartwright’s surgery initially came to light after she shared a mysterious post via Instagram on October 6. “When they said ‘remove what no longer serves you,’ I took it literally 💅,” Cartwright wrote at the time alongside a photo of herself wrapped in compression bandages with two surgical drains hanging off them. “In all seriousness, y’all know I always keep it real — and sooo…I did a thing💕 Something I’ve wanted to do for years and I finally took the step for me. I couldn’t be happier.”
The post continued, “Still recovering, but feeling stronger (and lighter) every day. Can’t wait to share more with you soon!”
Krebs’ statement to Us confirmed that Cartwright will share “more about the experience and her recovery” on her “When Reality Hits With Brittany Cartwright” podcast.
Several of Cartwright’s famous friends offered their support when she first revealed that she’d gone under the knife. Taking to her initial post’s comments section, Kristen Doute wrote, “My gorgeous girl! Dropping that dead weight and went for the upgrade!!” while Scheana Shay commented, “I see a sparkle.”
The recent surgery comes after Cartwright documented her first breast augmentation surgery, letting the cameras capture her journey for season 4 of Vanderpump Rules and revealing that her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, financed the past surgery.
Cartwright, who shares son Cruz, 4, with Taylor, 46, filed for divorce in August 2024.
