Chrissy Teigen caught everyone’s attention on Thursday when she posted a startling photo from a hospital bed showing herself wrapped in bandages.
The Sports Illustrated model and TV personality appeared with beige bandages under her chin, around her cheeks, and even across her head. Naturally, fans were curious — was this about plastic surgery?
Revealing the Hairline Lowering Procedure
It wasn’t until the next day that Chrissy confirmed what had happened.
In a candid Instagram Stories update, she explained she had undergone a “hairline lowering procedure.”
She opened up about the reason behind it, saying that after having children, she lost a lot of hair in the front, leaving her hairline very thin.
Chrissy joked about how on red carpets, she usually relies on hair extensions to fill in the gaps.
But this time, she was tackling it head-on with surgery.
She also promised to keep fans updated about the whole experience, calling it “the journey.”
Chrissy’s History of Being Open About Cosmetic Work
This isn’t the first time Chrissy has shared details about her cosmetic procedures.
Back in 2021, she was upfront about having liposuction on her face to create a slimmer look.
Even earlier, in 2017, she revealed a more unusual procedure — liposuction on her underarms.
She explained that getting fat removed from her armpits actually made her arms look longer by about two inches, which boosted her confidence, especially when wearing sleeveless outfits.
Despite calling it the “dumbest, stupidest thing” she’s ever done, she said she has no regrets and might even do it again since the effect wasn’t permanent.
Why Chrissy Isn’t Shy About Discussing Cosmetic Procedures
Chrissy has always been refreshingly honest about the beauty treatments she’s had.
She says she’s comfortable talking about it publicly and doesn’t feel the need to hide anything.
“I have no regrets,” she said, emphasizing her openness.
She even confirmed her armpit liposuction on Twitter, showing no hesitation in discussing it openly with her fans.
Botox for Jaw Tension, Not Just Beauty
Beyond cosmetic enhancements, Chrissy has also spoken about getting Botox injections — but not for the usual reasons.
She shared on Twitter that she had Botox in her jaw muscles to relieve tension caused by constant jaw clenching, which she humorously blamed on former President Donald Trump.
This medical use of Botox helped ease her discomfort, showing that sometimes these procedures aren’t just about looks.
A Quirky Beauty Secret: Teeth Transformation
Chrissy also revealed a surprising beauty secret when talking about the “craziest” things she’s done for beauty — she had her teeth shaved down to little pencil points to improve their shape.
Known for grinding her teeth, she explained that all her front teeth were shortened by a few millimeters.
She told Harper’s Bazaar this procedure gave her a nicer smile despite how unusual it sounds.
