Kailyn Lowry Stands by Her Decision for Chin Surgery, Reveals Transformation Photos

Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry is doubling down on the decision to go under the knife for her double chin.

“Rest in peace to my double chin,” Lowry, 33, said in an Instagram video shared on Sunday, August 24. The reality star also shared a series of before and after photos of her face in what she called “a scrapbook of saying goodbye.”

Other clips within the post showed Lowry being prepped for surgery, with a nurse drawing on her face. While the procedure itself wasn’t documented, Lowry offered a major update after she woke up.

“This is day one post op,” she said in a separate clip, smiling with her face wrapped while eating instant mashed potatoes. Another video showed Lowry snoring as she slept after the surgery.

“If there’s a fire, I can’t run,” Lowry added in a third clip of her laying in bed.

Lowry also offered a look at her face after the bandages were removed amid her recovery process — and the comments section had a lot to say.

“Anyone else think it looks the same?” one person wondered. Lowry replied, “Babe I’m swollen.”

Another Instagram user asked whether the double chin would come back “with weight gain.”

“I guess, but what I did was fix [a] genetic problem with jowling and sagging skin,” Lowry wrote in response. “I didn’t have lipo.”

A third commenter told Lowry to “give it up with the plastic surgery,” to which she clapped back, “I can actually do whatever tf I want tbh 😂.”

Other fans asked for exact details of Lowry’s surgery, which she has yet to share.

Lowry revealed her plans to go under the knife for her chin surgery one week prior.

“Farewell tour for the double chin,” she captioned a collection of Instagram photos on August 17, including one from her meeting with plastic surgeon Dr. Tina Ho ahead of the procedure.

Lowry has been open about her plastic surgery journey since getting her start on MTV, recently detailing her body dysmorphia struggles in January.

“I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower. I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” she said in a social media video at the time. “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 [a] mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”
