Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to being open with her fans, but her latest Instagram Story had followers doing a double take.
On Thursday, the model and cookbook author posted a photo from a hospital bed—bandages wrapped around her face and head—without any context.
Naturally, fans were left puzzled and concerned.
Finally, an Explanation Behind the Bandages
It wasn’t until the next day that Chrissy explained what was going on.
In true Teigen fashion, she took to her Instagram Stories to share a light-hearted message about the situation.
“Hi friends! A lot of you are wondering about my hospital pic which is very understandable as I gave no explanation, lol,” she wrote.
Chrissy went on to reveal that she had undergone a hairline lowering procedure, something she’d been thinking about due to hair loss at the front of her scalp—something she says worsened after having kids.
“Lost a lot in the front from babies and it’s just very thin up there,” she shared, admitting that whenever she’s on the red carpet, it’s all extensions up front.
A Journey She’s Willing to Talk About
Chrissy didn’t go into detail yet but promised more updates soon, saying she would “share more later” about the full journey.
Still, fans appreciated her openness—something she’s known for when it comes to her body and cosmetic procedures.
Chrissy’s History of Cosmetic Work
This isn’t the first time Chrissy has been transparent about cosmetic tweaks.
Back in 2021, she told fans she’d had facial liposuction to slim down her cheeks.
Even earlier, in 2017, she admitted to having fat removed from her underarms.
In an interview with Refinery29, she called the armpit lipo one of the best decisions she ever made, even if it felt a bit silly. “It’s a big secret, but I don’t care,” she said.
At the time, she believed the procedure added about two inches of length to her arms and made sleeveless outfits feel more comfortable.
“I felt more confident,” she admitted, even if she called it “the dumbest, stupidest thing” she’d ever done.
No Shame in the Beauty Game
While many celebrities prefer to stay tight-lipped about cosmetic work, Chrissy has taken a different approach.
“I’m not shy talking about that sort of thing,” she once said.
“I have no regrets, honestly.” She’s even joked about the procedures online, confirming her underarm surgery again later on Twitter.
More Than Just Looks
Not all her procedures have been for vanity. Chrissy once shared that she had Botox injected into her jaw muscles—but not to change her appearance.
It was to relieve painful jaw clenching, something she said ramped up during Donald Trump’s presidency.
“I was not like this before,” she tweeted at the time, adding a jab: “Pay my bill, POS POTUS.”
Teeth Grinding and a Smile Makeover
Even her smile hasn’t been left untouched. Chrissy previously confessed to Harper’s Bazaar that she had veneers placed on her teeth after years of grinding wore them down.
“I shaved away my teeth and made them into little pencil points for nice teeth,” she said, noting how odd it sounds when you think about it.
Chrissy Keeps It Real, Always
In a celebrity world often filled with filters, mystery, and carefully controlled images, Chrissy Teigen continues to stand out.
Whether she’s bandaged up in a hospital bed or sharing the truth behind her red carpet glow-ups, she’s never been afraid to let fans in on her reality—even when it’s a little messy or surprising.
