There’s a new version of Brittany Cartwright taking shape\u2014literally. On this week’s episode of The Valley<\/em>, the Bravo star underwent a Mommy Makeover and celebrated ahead of the procedure with a crab boil and an aptly decorated cake (more on that shortly) with her costars.<\/p>\n The procedure, which took place in 2025, spanned six hours and included liposuction, a tummy tuck and breast implant removal. That last part is notable. Cartwright\u2019s implants, which she got back in 2015, have become something of a symbol on the show, so much so that her friends marked the occasion with a tombstone-shaped cake that read \u201cRIP 2015 to 2025. So long to the Jax Taylor era implants!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis Mommy Makeover is a new start for me,\u201d Cartwright said on the episode. \u201cBut getting dressed has been so hard for me for a long time. Making this change is such a good step for me, and like\u2026kind of taking my power back.\u201d<\/p>\n A Mommy Makeover typically refers to a combination of procedures (most commonly breast surgery and a tummy tuck) performed simultaneously to address post-pregnancy body changes. The surgery generally lasts \u201cseveral hours,\u201d as previously reported by NewBeauty, and involves a recovery period of roughly two weeks of limited activity, with most patients cleared for more strenuous exercise around the six-week mark.<\/p>\n In a September 2024 interview with NewBeauty, Cartwright told us that a Mommy Makeover was on her future treatment list. When asked about her plastic surgery journey and whether she wishes she had done anything differently, she said, \u201cI wish I had done AirSculpt sooner!\u201d \u2014 referring to the minimally invasive body-contouring and fat-removal procedure.<\/p>\n She also got candid about the timing: “I’ve always talked about wanting a Mommy Makeover, but kept putting it off because I thought I’d have more kids. One thing I love about AirSculpt is that it works with your skin, so if I do want to get pregnant again, it won’t affect that. I’m also very open and honest about what I do\u2014I’ve had Botox, I’ve had my boobs done and I’m happy to share my experiences if it helps another woman feel confident in her own body.”<\/p>\n One six-hour surgery, a tombstone cake and a whole lot of honesty later, it’s safe to say Cartwright meant every word. Consider it officially off the list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a new version of Brittany Cartwright taki […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1854\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
