The reality star talks about cosmetic surgeries

“I’ve gotten my breasts done and I’ve gotten lipo in my stomach, which I never should have done,” she said. “It was the worst decision I ever made. First of all, I didn’t need it. I just decided like, you know how on the bottom you have a little something. When you have a baby that little pouch just doesn’t go away. I was like, I’m gonna suck this little pouch out. By me doing that, I felt like the fat deposited in other places.”
Now, who Rivera says she believes her body is putting fat below her waist, says she hasn’t gotten her butt done. “If I could suck this sh*t out, I would. I don’t have to get a BBL, I don’t have to take—it’s crazy, even when I go to my trainers, I say, ‘I wanna lose my butt…It’s just too much butt!'”
