Kailyn Lowry has a major complex over the measures she took to “be skinny.”
The Teen Mom star hopped on Instagram Monday to have a vulnerable conversation about her recent surgeries she had done — which she revealed was more than just the breast reduction she’s been talking about for years.

The 32-year-old started off:
“This is the first time I’m doing makeup since I had surgery, and I’m finally able to shower without help. I’m able to walk around without help, standing mostly up straight. I feel good most of the day, but I still get really, really tired about halfway through the day. I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower.”
Why? Because she struggles MAJORLY with her body image. The mom seven broke down in tears praying her kids “never struggle” in the same way she does:
“I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny. You know, I think a little nip and tuck in terms of, you know, a nose job or like a boob job is okay, but to go through this to be skinny is mental illness, truly, and I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”
“Mutilate their bodies”? Is that how she feels about what she’s had done?
That’s really raw…
The TV star admitted that in addition to her breast reduction, she also had lipo 360 and a tummy tuck over the Christmas holiday — which meant missing out on time with her family:
“I’m struggling this time around and I don’t know if it’s because I have a daughter now. Not just my daughter, like my sons too, right? Like, I don’t ever want them to experience this level of his body dysmorphia. Like, I was basically willing to go to any length and do this over Christmas break to be skinny, even if that meant that Elijah [Scott] couldn’t be there for me, even if that meant that I was, you know, in another state for Christmas. I was willing to go to any freaking length for it, and I don’t think that’s something that people talk about, right?”
That’s so sad. She continued:
“Like I was going for a breast reduction, and then I was like, ‘Oh, you know what, I should just be … add some lipo 360, add some tummy tuck in.’ You know, my scars were fine, my old tummy tuck scar and my C-section scar were fine. I realized, like, I shouldn’t have put Elijah through all of this, you know, because he couldn’t be there the whole time with me, and it was crazy. Truly, it is rough.”
What a tricky array of emotions to navigate… Our hearts are with her. The momma left off:
“I’m struggling. [I’m going to] stop crying and I’m gonna suck it up for the rest of the day. Think once, think twice before you get plastic surgery, and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.”
