Naya Rivera has described her boob job as the 'best $8,000' she's 'ever spent'.
The former Glee star, 29 - who went under the knife at the age of 18 - explained she wanted to have her breasts enlarged because of a lack of 'confidence', rather than to impress boys.
In an extract from her forthcoming memoir Sorry Not Sorry, the actress revealed she used her earnings from series such as The Royal Family and Family Matters to gift herself implants on her milestone birthday.

'It was a matter of confidence': Naya Rivera has described her boob job as the 'best $8,000' she's 'ever spent'
She wrote: '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. My new boobs were a confidence thing, not a sexual thing.
'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.'

In a previous extract, Naya revealed she struggled with anorexia as a teenager.
She said: 'By the time I was a sophomore, I started feeling that what had begun as a game had maybe gone too far. I just avoided food at all costs. If my mom had packed a lunch for me, I'd either trash it or find some excuse to give it away.'
However, the brunette beauty admits she didn't realise it was such a big issue for her until she came to write about it.
The actress added: 'I was so young and it just seemed to be the norm. Everyone was going through similar stuff. I had no way of knowing if I was going through it worse.
