Rivera – who also chronicles her battle with anorexia
in her book – openly admits she has had body image issues, but says
deciding to get breast implants had nothing to do with looking good for
other people.
“My new boobs were a confidence thing, not a sexual thing,” says Rivera, who paid for the surgery with money she’d saved from childhood jobs on Family Matters and The Royal Family. “I’d never even taken my top off for a guy. I hadn’t had many opportunities to do so, but even if I had, my bra was always stuffed with napkins.”
Not that her classmates didn’t take notice of her new curves.

Former Glee star Naya Rivera knew exactly what she wanted to gift herself with on her 18th birthday: breast implants.
“I went around to all my teachers, told them I was going to be out. ‘I’m getting plastic surgery!’ I’d tell them gleefully,” Rivera says in her upcoming memoir, Sorry Not Sorry, excerpted exclusively in the current issue of PEOPLE. “My art teacher was stoked – when I told her she said that she too had fake tits and that she was very excited for me.”
