Brittany Cartwright Opens Up About Liposuction Transformation Prior to 'The Valley'

Brittany Cartwright underwent a liposuction procedure just before filming the new reality show The Valley which airs on Bravo. The cosmetic makeover aimed at ensuring she looked her best on camera.

On the March 14 episode of the 'When Reality Hits' podcast that she hosts with estranged husband Jax Taylor, Brittany, age 35, revealed the details. “A few weeks, about three, before the start of filming, I had work done on my under-chin area. The surgeon performed minor lipo there and also a procedure called Morpheus8, otherwise known as micro-needling,” she explained.

She went ahead to declare, “Double chins, or as we say in my family, 'the turkey gobbler,' is a common issue among us.”

“Despite whatever happened in my life or how much weight I lost, I still felt like there was something under my chin,” the Kentucky-born reality star further expressed. She also commented that the procedure was not invasive and took place only under her chin. Her doctors assured her that her face would return to its normal state before filming began.

However, the transformation did not go as anticipated, and Brittany ended up appearing as if she was in a constant state of frowning.

“Whenever I seem upset or unhappy, I’ll look like I’m frowning,” she detailed. “Initially, it was quite funny as I had to physically hold my bottom lip to speak since it would not move otherwise.”

Vexed by her look, Brittany stated, “I suspect that I may be seen with a 'frown face' throughout the season,” referring to the upcoming Vanderpump Rules spinoff that premieres on March 19.

In 2018, the once SUR employee informed people that she had not undergone any facial surgery but admitted that her appearance had changed over time due to weight fluctuation. She stated that she had breast implants in 2016 at Jax's insistence, a procedure documented on Vanderpump Rules.

In a discussion with Glamour in December 2018, she confirmed, “I’ve not had facial plastic surgery. When it comes to the changes I’ve gone through, I’m direct about it. I displayed my breast implant procedure on national television, so I’m being honest here. I once had Botox about half a year ago. I don’t know if it’s effective anymore.”

She continued, “I received a Kybella injection under my chin before. Plus, I’ve shed about 25 pounds. I don’t like rumours of me having a nose job or lip enhancement, because I lose facial weight.”

In April 2021, Jax and Brittany celebrated the birth of their son, Cruz. The new mom became a Jenny Craig spokesperson eight months later to address the issue of post-birth weight loss.

In February 2024, the TV personality announced losing 45 pounds. “I’m content with my body shape and where I am currently. I’ve mastered portioning and intermittent fasting which is very beneficial,” she shared with The Daily Mail.

A surprising revelation came from Brittany on February 29 when she announced her separation from Jax after four years of marriage, living separately.

On their 'When Reality Hits' podcast, she stated, “Marriage is generally tough, and this past year has been especially rough for me. Therefore, Jax and I are taking some time off. I’ve made the choice to relocate to a different home. I need to take this step for my mental well-being.”
