Brooke Burke-Charvet is giving her opinions about women and plastic surgery.

The Dancing With the Stars cohost, who looks elegant in a bright orange dress on the cover of the spring issue of New You, shares her thoughts about ladies going under the knife.

"If a woman has done a bit of work, you should never know," the TV personality reveals.

She continues: "Women who do too much scare me. I'm glad it scares me. I was married to a plastic surgeon, so I've seen it all."

The 42-year-old, who underwent successful surgery in December 2012 for thyroid cancer, says she feels healthier today than she did a decade ago.

"[My] 40s started out a little bit rough because there have been some life issues, but physically I feel better today than I did in my 30s," the brunette beauty explains.

"I know myself better," she says. "I have boundaries, a louder voice and I know myself as a woman," she adds. "I know my body better, how to dress my body and I have a better sense of style. I am also more experienced. I feel more accomplished because I have a family and I'm very lucky to be in a loving marriage with a man that I'm in love with and he's in love with me and that's like amazing, so in that I find beauty."

But Burke-Charvet says that she does have remorse about some of her past decisions.

"I regret having a marriage that didn't work, because divorce is 'forever' for children," she says. "I regret that my two oldest daughters have to grow up knowing that sometimes a family falls apart. That's my heartbreaking life lesson. But I'm happy that they can see love now."
