Salley Carson is sharing the story of a cosmetic procedure she had, one she did because she thought her ex – fiancé would like it, but she’s now taking steps to reverse it.
On the Thursday, January 30 episode of Southern Charm, the 30 – year – old Bachelor alum opened up to fellow new cast member Molly O’Connell, 37. Carson revealed that she had breast implants put in while she was engaged to her former boyfriend.
“I got them when I was with my ex – fiancé,” Carson told O’Connell in one scene. “I thought that’s what he liked. I just felt like I did it for the wrong reason.”
In a confessional, the Bachelor in Paradise alum explained that although her ex, whom she called off an engagement with just weeks before appearing on The Bachelor, never directly asked her to get the procedure, she still felt insecure.
“It’s not like my ex – fiancé told me, ‘Your boobs aren’t good enough. ’ He never did,” she said in an interview. “But the girls that he was giving attention to had bigger breasts and didn’t look like I looked, and it somewhat made me insecure. But now if a guy asked me to get something done or made me feel that way, I would just exit the relationship.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, breast implants, often made of silicone, saline, or silicone gel, are surgically placed inside the breast by a cosmetic surgeon. During Thursday’s episode, Molly also shared that she had a fat transfer breast augmentation. The Cleveland Clinic says that cosmetic surgeons use liposuction to remove fat cells from a person’s body and then inject the purified fat cells into the breasts to increase the cup size. The clinic also notes that this procedure can be less risky than using implants.
“I got ankle and calf liposuction and then I shoved that into my boobs because I had no boobies,” Molly joked in a confessional interview. “Guys are saying I look great,” she added to Carson.
Carson has been open about her split from her ex – fiancé before. She talked about it both on Southern Charm and during her appearances on various Bachelor franchise shows, including Clayton Echard’s season. “When I was 22 years old, I got engaged,” Carson recalled on the Jan. 16 episode of Southern Charm. “We had the big house and like, he wanted kids, and I thought that I had everything. And then, 25 days before the wedding, I got a DM that he had been cheating on me, so I canceled the wedding and moved to Charleston. And that’s kind of when Single Salley came back full force.”
Carson also previously told PEOPLE that her relationship was “really toxic.” She added that now, “I’m in a completely different place than I was when I was on The Bachelor.”
