TheTeen MomalumKailyn Lowryhas gotten vulnerable with her fans in a brave post on Instagram. On January 6,the podcast hostposted a video of herself doing makeup to her 4.6M followers onInstagramand has gotten candid abouther surgical procedures. Fans know that Lowry has had a few plastic surgery procedures, such as a breast reduction and a lip 360, but according to Lowry,things are not what they seem.
In the video, she said, “This is the first time I’m doing makeup since I had surgery, and I’m finally able toshower without help. I’m able to walk around without help, standing mostly up straight. I feel good most of the day, but I still get really really tired about halfway through the day.”
She began to tear up in the video. “I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower,” she said, “I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny. You know, I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job or a boob job is, is OK.But to go through this to be skinny is [a] mental illness truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”

In the video, Lowry, who has always been open abouther struggles and trauma, opens up more about her challenges.“I’m struggling this time around,“she said, “and I don’t know if it’s because I have a daughter now, not just my daughter, but like, my sons too, right? I don’t ever want them to experience this level of this body dysmorphia. 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 then went on to state her surgeries, which were a breast reduction that she had in December 2024, whichshe needed to lose 40 poundsbefore they could operate, as she revealed in a podcast episode a few months ago. She also had a lipo 360 and a tummy tuck, despite her tummy tuck scar and her c-section scars being “fine.” However, she also said in the video that she regretted having the surgeries because of how much turmoil she was putting her fiancéElijah Scottthrough, as he was not able to be present when she had the surgeries, before admitting she was “struggling.”
She ended the video with, “Think once, think twice before getting plastic surgery,” before wishing her followers a Happy New Year. Her video was met with love from her followers, who praised her for her vulnerability.
