“Teen Mom” ​​Kailyn Lowry undergoes a transformational procedure

Kailyn Lowry is starting a new chapter in her health journey after breast reduction surgery. The Teen Mom 2 alum shared a post-surgery selfie on Instagram earlier this week, officially confirming the procedure to her millions of followers.

Lowry, who first rose to fame in the early 2010s in 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 2, gave birth to her first son, Isaac, at just 17.

Now the mother of seven — Isaac, Lincoln, Lux, Creed, Ria, and twins Verse and Valley — Kailyn Lowry is no stranger to navigating motherhood in the public eye.

In a recently uploaded photo to her Instagram Stories, Lowry is all smiles and flashing a peace sign for her fans. In the caption, she wrote: “4 days post op… Want a breast reduction video?” and included a poll for her followers to cast their votes.

On her Almost Famous podcast, Lowry revealed that her doctors required her to lose at least 40 to 50 pounds before they would allow her to undergo the procedure. She admitted that she initially didn’t know if she wanted a reduction, implants or a lift, but eventually decided that a breast reduction was the right choice for her.

For Lowry, this breast reduction represents a step toward feeling more comfortable and confident in her own skin. Fans showed overwhelming support for her decision, with many applauding her openness about the process and her honest reflections on the physical and emotional aspects of such a change.

Lowry welcomed her first child, Isaac Elliott Rivera, in January 2010 with her ex-boyfriend Joe Rivera. Isaac’s arrival was a defining moment in Lowry’s life, as it was captured in the movie 16 and Pregnant. Her second child, Lincoln Marshall Marroquin, was born in November 2013 during her marriage to Javi Marroquin.

In August 2017, Lowry welcomed her third son, Lux Russell Lowry, her first child with Chris Lopez. Just a few years later, in July 2020, Lowry gave birth to her fourth child, Creed Romell Lowry, also with Chris Lopez.

Being a mother of seven is no small feat, but Lowry juggles her family responsibilities with an impressive career. She is a successful host of the Barely Famous podcast, author and entrepreneur. Through her podcasts and social media platforms, Lowry candidly discusses the realities of motherhood, mental health, and personal growth.

in fact, she recently hosted Gypsy Rose Blanchard, A 33-year-old ex-convict who was convicted of her role in the murder of her mother. The episode featured Gypsy’s new book, in which she shares her horrific experience growing up under her mother’s strict control and living through the effects of Munchausen by abuse. Gypsy spoke candidly about her complicated family dynamics, her time in prison, and the obstacles she faced after gaining freedom, including battling addiction and learning to navigate relationships while rebuilding her life.

“I worked on it for about three years, the part that was the last part was the editing, and that was after I was released,” Gypsy Lowry said in the episode. “Sometimes it was difficult because I had to ask family members for information, because I know my side of things, but I don’t know the whole picture, so I had to talk to family, I had to talk to friends to get a lot of information I didn’t know about.’

Gypsy not only opened up about her traumatic past, but also revealed that she had been sedated “more than 100 times”. Fortunately, she shared that she experienced no noticeable side effects or long-term effects. “When I was an anesthetized child, I didn’t ask questions,” she explained to Lowry. “So all these side effects and all the dangers were told to my mom, not to me,” because she was a minor.

In her memoir, which is now available, Gypsy reveals that her mother knew about her addiction and drug abuse but chose not to intervene. Instead, her mother allowed it to continue because it helped keep Gypsy close and under her control.
