‘Teen Mom’ Alum Kailyn Lowry Warns Against Plastic Surgery After undergoing 3 New Procedures

Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry had a powerful message to fans to “think twice” about getting plastic surgery after having three new procedures done and dealing with the aftermath.

Kailyn, 32, shared her powerful message in a Tuesday, January 7, Instagram video, where she revealed she was doing her makeup for the first time since her surgeries, and that she was “finally able” to shower and walk “without help,” in addition to being able to stand up straight.

“I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower. I just pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” the MTV alum said as she began to tear up.

“I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job or a boob job is OK. But to go through this to be skinny is mental illness truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it,” Kailyn confessed.

The Pride Over Pity author said she was “struggling this time around” after getting work done. Kailyn said she wasn’t sure if it was because she has a daughter now after previously having all sons, even though she admitted that she also didn’t want her boys “to ever experience this level of body dysmorphia.”

The mom of seven then went into detail about when and what surgeries she had done and how those kept her apart from fiancé Elijah Scott over the holidays.

“I was basically willing to go to any length and do this over Christmas break to be skinny, even if it meant that Elijah couldn’t be there for me. Even if it meant that I was in another state for Christmas … I was willing to go to any freaking length for it,” she confessed.

Kail then got to the point of what surgeries she had. “I was going for a breast reduction then I was like, ‘You know what, I should just add some lipo 360, add some tummy tuck in,” even though her old tummy tuck scar and c-section scars “were fine.”

After taking a deep breath, Kailyn looked directly into the camera and admitted, “I’m struggling. I’m going to stop crying and I’m going to suck it up for the rest of the day.”

She had one last piece of advice before signing off, telling fans, “Think once think twice before you get plastic surgery and I hope everyone has a happy new year.”

Kailyn previously shared that she had a breast reduction with fans in December 2024, showing an Instagram Story of herself “four days post-op.”

The Pothead Haircare founder didn’t disclose her lipo and tummy tuck at the time, but said in May 2024 that she needed to lose 40 pounds in order to get her breast surgery.

“I want to get a boob job, right? I call around. I’m making these consultations to get a boob job. You know what they told me? They told me I need to lose 40 pounds,” Kailyn said about a phone call she had with a plastic surgeon’s office during the May 17 episode of her “Barely Famous” podcast. “So 40 or 50 pounds, more like 50 but maybe get away with 40 pounds, before they can even operate on me.”

The podcast host called the conversation “extremely humbling” and that it left her in tears.

“I’ve been wanting to do this breast reduction, implants, lift, whatever it is,” Kailyn shared. “She was like, ‘Do you still want to schedule this?’ I’m literally sobbing. Already the water works have started.”

“I don’t even know if I can get my double chin done,” she added. “Truthfully, I’d want to do that at the same time as my boob job because why would I pay for anesthesia twice?”

Kailyn revealed in January 2024 that she had her fallopian tubes cut after giving birth to twins, her sixth and seventh children, in late 2023. She underwent a c-section to deliver son Verse and daughter Valley, whom she shares with Elijah, 26. The couple welcomed a son, Rio, in November 2022.

The Hustle and Heart author became a mom for the first time at the age of 17. She gave birth to son Isaac Rivera, whom she shares with former high school sweetheart Jo Rivera, in January 2010, which was featured on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant.

Kailyn went on to welcome son Lincoln Marroquin, whom she shares with ex-husband Javi Marroquin, in November 2013. She then had two sons with ex-boyfriend Chris Lopez, giving birth to Lux in August 2017 and Creed Romello in July 2020.
