Brovarnik stated that she wanted to 'get it done and over with' while her kids were still young.
She went on to reveal that she got a tummy tuck after suffering from abdominal diastasis as a result of her pregnancy.
According to WebMD, diastasis recti, as known as abdominal separation, 'means your belly sticks out because the space between your left and right belly muscles has widened.'
The website noted that it is 'very common among pregnant women' and about 'two-thirds of pregnant women have it.'
'My muscles were separated by, they count them in units, mine were four units apart. So I had a tummy tuck and [the doctor] put my muscles back together,' Brovarnik explained.
She also got liposuction 360 to reduce the fat around her midsection.
The reality star also says she had a 'portion of the fat was transferred to her breasts.'
'I personally didn't want implants, so it wasn't the best health choice for me, but I'm happy,' she told Us. 'The silver lining is I feel great and I am tightened.'

While the surgery took seven hours, she mused it felt like a 'good nap.'
Although her recovery period was only suppose to last six weeks, her healing process took a little longer after contracting an infection.
'I can't just sit there and look at a pile of laundry or dishes,' she admitted. 'I just can't, so I kind of backtracked a bit, but you'll see all about it.'
While on the mend, her husband took 'care of more things at home.'
'I would be lying if I said that the body dysmorphia is gone. It's not something that goes away overnight,' she said. 'And now that I've done the surgery, I want to be the best version of myself, so I'm harder on myself. I want to work out and feel good and look good, but I don't have any regrets. I'm just day by day.'
