‘Teen Mom’ Alum Farrah Abraham Reveals She’s Unable to Open Her ‘Mouth Up Normally’ Ahead of Next Surgery
Farrah Abraham is preparing to go under the knife one more time. The former Teen Mom star revealed she’s suffering from a medical issue in her jaw.
“I’m getting ready for a really big surgery actually,” Abraham, 34, said during her Tuesday, May 19, appearance on the Pillow Talk podcast. “So I’m actually having more surgeries.”
She added, “I don’t want any more surgeries, but there’s I guess like a degenerative disc disease in my jaws. So if you could imagine I can’t, you know, use my jaw.”
According to the MTV alum, she is unable to “open [her] mouth up normally.”
Degenerative disk disease, per the Cleveland Clinic, occurs when the cushions between bones begin to wear away, causing the bones to rub together. It most commonly occurs in the spine, and affects “most people” over the age of 40.
“I’m sure you guys could like put all of your hands in your mouth and I can’t right now,” Abraham asked the host. “I would like to just open my mouth for a hot dog.”
The 16 & Pregnant star previously revealed she was done with injectables, telling Us Weekly in September, “I actually have no Botox, no filler, nothing in my lips.”
“I actually love who I am at 34, but it has taken such a long way to get here to just be like, ‘Hey, this is plain Farrah, love that skin you’re in,’” she said at the time. “And so because I was having those allergic reactions to some of the fillers, I’m like, ‘I need, I need to stop this.’ It was bothering everything,”
