Shepreviously had her breasts done in 2008while filming the first season ofRHONJ,which premiered in May 2009. In January 2020, Teresapenned a lengthy Instagram postabout her decision to get anotherbreast augmentation.
“I believe it’s important to always stand strong and feel like your best most confident self,” she wrote, noting that she “could not be happier with the results.”
She continued, “I was very nervous to re-do my breasts, but I felt it was necessary for me to feel like my best self. I encourage anyone who doesn’t feel their best self to work on feeling better. Even if it is the smallest thing every day.”
Teresa also revealed onWatch What Happens Live withAndy Cohenin November that she got anose job in February 2021 and “no one even noticed.”
The star reportedly opened up about the procedure at the New Jersey Ultimate Women’s Expo at the NJ Convention & Expo Center, explaining she got the “tip” of her nose tweaked and she “was so nervous about getting it,” according toThe Sun.
But Teresa got some assurance from her fiancé,Luis “Louie” Ruelas. “I asked Louie, I’m, like, ‘Babe, should I get my nose done?’ And he’s like, ‘Is it going to make you feel better?’ And I said, ‘Yes.’ So he said, ‘Do it,'” she said, per the outlet.

Teresa’s hospitalization comes a few days after the most recent episode ofRHONJ, in which shecontinued to fiercely defend Ruelasamidgrowing concerns from her castmates about his alleged past. (Ruelas hasdenied all allegations.)
“He does not have to prove himself to no one,” Teresa said during the dramatic episode. “He’s my boyfriend and I’m gonna stick up for him.”
During a confessional, Gia added, “Do I think my mom might be moving too fast? Yeah. Any relationship you’re gonna be in the honeymoon stage for the beginning. It’s very easy to only see the good when you’re in la la land.”
Teresa later told Gia, “This is the thing: I really don’t care what people think. The other night, Margaret [Josephs]brought up unconfirmed rumors about Louie’s past… I don’t care. Bottom line: all I care about is my children, Louie, and his kids.”
