In the Little Women: LA episode “The Ultimatum,” Christy Gibel and Tonya Banks go together for cosmetic surgery consultations. Tonya says they’ve decided to “try to fight the effects of aging.” Tonya is all smiles and almost runs into the consultation room where they meet Dr. Michael Niccole. They say they’re interested in vaginal rejuvenation. When Dr. Niccole says it requires just 5-minute treatments, Christy says, “Sign me up!”
But when they meet another doctor, Dr. Brian Reagan, about liposuction, Christy is not as enthusiastic. Christy says she knows she need her boobs lifted but the doctor looks at her belly first and says, “You are thick. And so we definitely want to get at that.” That requires liposuction and putting her “to sleep” as the doctor says.

Christy fears going under the knife because the last time she did for neck surgery, the doctor nicked her carotid artery. “This really sucks,” says Christy. “I was hoping to find some non-invasive procedure so I wouldn’t have to go to sleep.” Little Women: LA airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Lifetime.
