BRITTANY Cartwright is bringing sexy back after filing for divorce last month, having dropped 10lbs with a new cosmetic procedure.
The Valley star, who first split from Jax Taylor in February after almost five years together, plans to debut her new "revenge body" on the show in the coming months.
Following in the footsteps of co-star Kristen Doute, the 35-year-old signed up for an Airsculpt Body Contouring procedure, along with skin-tightening, and has already seen results.
Brittany, who secretly had the treatment in May, is getting used to her "new normal" as a single mom to three-year-old, Cruz, and wants to look her best.
In an exclusive chat with The U.S. Sun, she explained, "They took probably 10 pounds of fat out of my stomach, I have got a picture.
"I've been very open with my weight loss journey. I fluctuate a lot.
"I go up and down, but I'm feeling so good right now and it's just also helping me stay motivated to go to the gym.
"I'm going to make sure that I'm staying on this path and I am ready for my revenge moment.
"I'm going continue on this path like I'm thinking about reunion, revenge dress, all that stuff.
"So with Air Sculpt, it's really it, it's worked incredibly for me.
It's all about getting my confidence back and my sparkle back."

"But it's also going to keep me motivated to continue working out and doing better and continue on this health journey.
"Kristen did Airsculpt before me so I knew how well it worked for her and seeing her results. I was just like, 'Yes, sign me up, I'm there. I am down, let's do it.'
"I wasn't like scared or freaking out about the process. I was very aware of how everything was going to go and the results were insane for her. So I was like, OK, yes.
"But for me, it's all about getting my confidence back and my sparkle back. I really just want to feel like me again.
"I've been through so much recently and having Cruz is the best thing that's ever happened to me, but my body, it changed so much and I think that everybody could tell on season one of The Valley.
"My confidence was not the same as it normally was. I wasn't feeling like myself. I had a lot of like saggy skin and stretch marks.
"So even whenever I lose all my weight, I still just didn't feel confident [in] certain clothes I was wearing, bathing suits, things like that.
"This is going to help me with my revenge body. This is going to help me with my confidence. This is just something I really want to do for me, and I'm so glad I did it."
Unlike plastic surgery, Airsculpt is a minimally invasive fat removal procedure using a two-millimeter-wide entry point with no needle, no scalpel, and no stitches needed.
Brittany had the treatment in May and saw immediate results, while she was still able to go out for dinner the same day.
"This is the most confident I've felt since having [having] Cruz, for sure," she said.
"I feel better in all my clothes. I could wear old jeans again. [It's] things like that. I'm not a weight [or] scale person, but as long as I'm feeling good in my clothes, that's how I do it, but I've definitely lost a lot of inches."
Brittany said she's only seen Dr. Rollins once so far at the Beverly Hills studio but is planning to go back, and will continue to see results from her first session in the next six months.
She said, "I already feel amazing. I could see instantly as soon as I took the garment off the first time, I could already see my waist and everything. I was so happy."
The Bravo star said it's been "a journey" with a lot of ups and downs since her split from Jax, who will still appear in the next season of The Valley with her.
She admitted, "I'm basically grieving. I feel like I'm in mourning a little bit of my relationship.
"So, you know, there's just so many ups and downs that go with that.
"But I have so much support. My friends have rallied around me. They have supported me. They're taking on me every single day. They know how hard this is for me.
"My son is my rock. He is the reason that I am able to stay so strong and stay focused on what needs to happen and what is best for my family because I will always do what's best for him.
"And I just want him to see a happy, healthy mom and then he will be happy and healthy as well."
NEW DIAGNOSIS
Brittany is said to have grown tired of his erratic behavior and putdowns, as their relationship issues played out on the show.
Jax spent time at a mental health treatment center just days before Brittany finally filed for divorce after months of a trial separation.
In court documents, she listed "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their divorce.
She also asked for primary legal and physical custody, while requesting that Jax be granted visitation.
They are said to be co-parenting well together as Jax has now moved into a new home.
After his stay in the facility, Jax revealed he'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.
Jax, 45, shared an Instagram photo in which he read a pamphlet while sitting on the couch at his new pad as he opened up about his recent struggles.
"A little over a month ago, I checked into an intensive inpatient treatment facility scared of the unknown and what I would find out about myself," he wrote in the lengthy caption.
"After many years of knowing something was wrong but not knowing exactly what it was, I recently learned that I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD."
