Overview

• On Oct. 10, Cartwright used her When Reality Hits podcast to confirm the surgery and share a post-op update.
• She said the procedures included abdominal reconstruction, liposuction to her back, sides and stomach, a full tummy tuck with belly button repositioning, and removal of implants with smaller replacements plus a lift.
• Cartwright cited postpartum diastasis recti and lasting stretch marks as issues she could not fix through diet or exercise.
• She emphasized that she paid for everything herself, clarified that Brad Hanson did not pay, and noted she is currently single more than a year after filing to divorce Jax Taylor.
• She first hinted at the operation with an Oct. 5 Instagram recovery photo showing bandages and drains, later naming Beverly Hills surgeons John Layke and Payman Danielpour and describing a painful early recovery that she believes was worth it.
