Teen Mom 2’s Kailyn Lowry is in recovery mode after going under the knife.
The reality TV star and mother of seven is taking some time to heal following a recent breast reduction surgery.
Lowry, 32, shared a selfie via Instagram Story this month, where she was wearing a supportive bra and wrote in the caption, “4 days post op.” She also posed a poll to her followers, asking, “Do you want breast reduction videos?” with the options of “yes” or “not really.”
The “Barely Famous” podcast host had recently clued fans in to the surgery, posting another snap via Instagram Story of herself in bed days earlier, with the caption, “Out of surgery; lots of videos to come.”
Lowry has been open in the past about her desire to have her breasts surgically reduced.
During a May 17 episode of her podcast, Lowry spoke openly about the conversation she had with her doctor about weight loss and the procedure.
“I want to get a boob job, right? I call around. I’m making these consultations to get a boob job,” she explained. “You know what they told me? They told me I need to lose 40 lbs. So 40 or 50 lbs., more like 50, but maybe get away with 40 lbs., before they can even operate on me.”
Lowry explained that the ordeal was emotional for her.
Teen Mom 2 viewers have been following Kailyn Lowry’s love life for nearly a decade on MTV. The Pennsylvania native rose to fame on a 2010 episode of 16 & Pregnant. During the episode, Lowry and her high school boyfriend, Jo Rivera, welcomed son Isaac, who was born in January 2010. Their relationship didn’t last, […]
“I’ve been wanting to do this breast reduction, implants, lift, whatever it is,” she said. “[My doctor] was like, ‘Do you still want to schedule this?’ I’m literally sobbing. Already the water works have started.”
A few days following the release of the podcast episode, Lowry spoke further on this via Instagram. She posted a clip of her telling the story on her podcast alongside a caption where she explains in more detail what she was told by her doctor.
“What they actually said was my BMI is entirely too high to operate 🥲 so when I did the math it comes down to needing to lose between 40-50 lbs 🫠.”
Lowry spoke about breast reduction surgery as early as 2018 on her “Coffee Convos” podcast.
“When my trainer came here the other day, he took all my measurements to do the weight loss stuff, I was like, he went to obviously measure my chest and stuff too, checking everything,” she said, adding that she was “super nervous and hopeful that I can get the surgery.”
