‘Bad Girls Club’ Star Stephanie Rivera Reveals Breast Augmentation: ‘I Wanted To Gain Self-Confidence, I Feel Sexier Than Ever!
Bad Girls Club star Stephanie Rivera struggled with self-image her entire life so she recently decided to take matters into her own hands, and underwent a breast augmentation, exclusively telling RadarOnline.com, “I feel sexier than ever!”
The Oxygen star known as ‘The Sultry Siren’ on the show provided Radar with photographs of her new body, explaining that she finally went through with the boob job in an effort to boost her self-esteem.
“I have always wanted a breast augmentation, for many years now. I have always battled with my weight shift as a young girl; one minute I’m really thick, and then the next minute I’m back to really skinny, so you can just imagine over the years how much of a toll it took on my breasts,” Rivera told Radar.

“I wanted to gain self-confidence. My motto has always been ‘Follow your heart,’ I believe that you should do whatever makes you happy. Never do it for the wrong reasons, do it because is what you want. So I followed my heart and went through with it.”
Under the careful knife of leading plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Salzhauer in Miami, Fla. — a surgeon who was recommended by someone she met while filing BGC — Rivera paid for the plastic surgery on her credit card.
“While I was taping for my season of the Bad Girls Club Miami Season 11, there was a girl that I met out at a nightclub and I couldn’t help myself but to just go up to her and compliment her body. She wasn’t shy at all; she began telling me about Dr. Salzhauer,” Rivera, 22, said.

“So I began to do my own research and liked what I saw. Once I did the consultation with him I knew that he was going to be my doctor, he was very professional and made me feel very comfortable (as well as his team). He knew exactly what I needed and understood what I wanted.”
And Dr. Salzhauer echoed the statement.
“Stephanie Rivera was a pleasure to have as a patient. Very nice and down to earth. No attitude, just laid back— the opposite of what one would think based on the Bad Girls Club persona,” he told Radar.

“I performed a silicone breast augmentation on her last month. She went from a medium ‘B’ cup to a very natural appearing ‘C’ cup. She’s petite, so we didn’t want to go over the top. She wanted a natural look, that gave her just a bit more boost. Something to allow her throw out her push-up bras and better fill out her dresses and Sexy Bikini.”
But Rivera isn’t stopping there. Next on her wish list? A butt lift!
“Next on her wish list is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). This operation is currently the most popular trend in plastic surgery, especially in Miami and Los Angeles. I performed more than 350 BBL’s in my practice in the last year alone,” Dr. Salzhauer explained.

“Having my breast augmentation has given me the boost of self- confidence that I have always wanted,’ Rivera said.
“I feel sexier than ever. I’m very thankful for the work that Dr. Salzhauer performed on me. I am very happy, and love how they look on me.”

Don’t Make These Lingerie Mistakes
Finding Sexy Lingerie that not only fits your figure great, but your personality as well, is tricky enough as it is. Throw in the fact that you have absolutely no clue how to rock it and shopping for a matching bra and panty set can turn into a total disaster. Fortunately, you don’t have to look like a Victoria’s Secret model to wow him in next to nothing. Check out these 9 dos and don’ts for donning lingerie, and get ready to strut your stuff sexy ladies!
1. DO Be True To Your Style
Stick to what you know and love. “Don’t try to buy lingerie that is so far off from who you are that you’re no longer comfortable in it,” says Young Chung-Stuart of the intiMINT Design Team. “The goal is to feel confident! Confidence = sexiness, and your lingerie should be an enhancement of who you are. YOU wear the lingerie, so don’t let it wear you!”
2. DON’T Have A VPL (Visible Panty Line)
Seriously, just say NO! Lauren Skerritt and Poppy Sexton-Wainwright of UK lingerie brand Beautiful Bottoms warn against wearing knickers that are so tight they dig into you or a bra where you’re spilling out over the edge. “Buy the right size, and if you’re not sure what to get, double check your measurements or have a professional help you.” You can also try a hipster or low-rise thong to avoid this problem, recommends Natalie Grunberg, owner of PantybyPost.com.
3. DO Wear Colorful Lingerie
Who says you have to save a pop of color for Valentine’s Day? Psh, not us! “Personally, I love black lingerie, but if you like another color (blue, bright green, leopard?), go ahead and wear it,” advises Linda “The Bra Lady” Becker. “I’m a true believer that wearing what makes you feel good will help you look good as well. No one has to know that you have on bright purple undies, unless you decide to show them, that is. Ow!”
4. DON’T Reserve Corsets & Teddies Just For Your Wedding Night
Instead, rock them underneath sheer blouses when you go out for drinks with the girls, says Natalie. This is an easy and fun way to dress up your outfit without looking too sexy.
5. DO Dance Around In Your Undies
Speaking of fun, Linda recommends putting on your sexiest set or favorite pair of boyshorts and tank, pumping up the volume and just letting loose. And hey, if you’re feeling a little brave, you can always do a dance for your man!
6. DON’T Use The Excuse, "Well, only I am going to see it, so it doesn't matter."
Hearing this literally makes my skin crawl, says Kelly Dooley of BodyRock Sport. “When I have appointments with customers and buyers, I often ask, ‘If you have a big sales meeting and are rocking a suit, don’t you love knowing that you are wearing a sexy La Perla thong beneath?’ Your boss doesn’t know it but you do, and that gives you the confidence you need to close deals. Bottom line, if you look good, you feel good. If you dress for success and adopt the right mindset, you will be a closer. Similarly, I always say, you never know who you are going to meet on the way to the bodega!”
7. DO Invest In A Matching Set
Just like what you wear on the outside, being able to move and feel comfortable in your undergarments is key. “You want your set to fit sleekly beneath your clothes so you don’t have to make a mad dash to the bathroom to change before making your ‘just for him’ appearance,” notes Kiana Anvaripour, creator of ResultWear. “It’s a bit of a buzz kill.” Her personal favorite is a classic lacy bra and panty set with a garter and stocking underneath a killer wrap dress. “With one tug he can reveal all!”
8. DON’T Be Boring
Forego the boring old Jockey/Costco style panty, which can hardly be considered lingerie, says Natalie. “There are plenty of comfy styles out there (hipsters for example) that don’t just scream, ‘I give up!’”
9. DO Understand That Less Isn’t Always More
“Pieces like sheer cover-ups and lacy boy shorts can be just as sexy as those that provide less coverage,” points out Tina Burgos, Director Of Women's Buying at www.sensationofnight.com So shop around and see what looks best on you!

A Guide to Lingerie Fabrics
Selecting lingerie is easy when you know the properties of different fibers and fabrics. No one fiber is perfect, so learn to choose the right fabrics for everyday wear, active sports, and evening glamour.
Cotton is the staple fabric for everyday wear. It is breathable for healthy skin, sturdy for frequent washings, and available in economical packages. Woven cottons will wrinkle, however, unless blended with polyester or spandex. Select cotton for summertime comfort. For active sports, be sure cotton sports bras and bike shorts include spandex for support and good fit.
Silk is both beautiful and breathable. Although it looks delicate, silk is actually quite strong, even when wet. While most silk garments are labeled "dry clean only," this is not practical for most lingerie. Gentle hand washing in cold water should cause minimal shrinkage and preserve the bright colors of many silks. Roll wet garments in a towel to blot dry, then hang to finish air drying. Rayon, made from cellulose fibers, has properties similar to silk; however, it is not as strong when wet. Both silk and rayon are wonderful for special occasions such as honeymoons. Silk is cool in summer and warm in winter.
