Model and actress Shanna Moakler made a triumphant return in front of the camera last October in a skimpy bikini after undergoing liposuction, and she opened up to ET about the surgical procedure, which she described as painless and scar-free.

Moakler paid a visit to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins, founder of Elite Body Sculpture, who performed the airbrush laser liposuction procedure without needles or stitches. "I've had three kids and so, I don't know, I just was in a place in my life where I felt like I wanted to do some stuff," the 38-year-old mother of three explained of her desire to have her chin, arms and tummy tightened.

Citing a C-section for all of her kids' births, Moakler said that getting rid of those last few pounds in her midsection with diet and exercise was next to impossible. "Something that I want people to know is it wasn't just something like a shortcut or an easy way out for me. I work out really hard. I work out 1-2 hours a day and I do cardio yoga and the Tracy Anderson program so it wasn't just something I took lightly."

The "Meet the Barkers" star added, "I have a C-scar-- it's a bikini cut-- and I kind of just had a pooch that was over it that I couldn't get it back to where I wanted it and I think this worked like a charm."
