“Teen Mom” Kailyn Lowry undergoes transformative procedure

Kailyn Lowry opens 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 on “16 & Pregnant” and “Teen Mom 2,” gave birth to her first son, Isaac, when she was just 17 years old.

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

In a newly uploaded photo to her Instagram Stories, Lowry smiles and gives her fans a peace sign. In the caption, she wrote: “4 days after surgery… Would you like breast reduction videos?” 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 approve her for the procedure. She admitted that she was initially unsure whether she wanted a reduction, implants or a lift, but ultimately decided that a breast reduction was the right choice for her.

For Lowry, this breast reduction represents a step towards feeling more comfortable and confident in her skin. Fans have overwhelmingly supported her decision, with many applauding her openness about the process and her candid reflections on the physical and emotional aspects of such a change.

Lowry welcomed her first child, Isaac Elliot Rivera, with her ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera in January 2010. Isaac’s arrival was a pivotal moment in Lowry’s life, as it was captured in 16 & 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 Romello Lowry, also with Chris Lopez.

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

Actually, She recently hosted Gypsy Rose Blanchard. the 33-year-old ex-con who was convicted of her role in her mother’s murder. The episode features Gypsy’s new book, in which she recounts her harrowing experiences growing up under her mother’s repressive control and enduring the effects of Munchausen through proxy abuse. Gypsy spoke candidly about her complex family dynamics, her time in prison and the obstacles she’s faced since her 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 final pieces was edited and that came after I was released,” Gypsy Lowry said in the episode. “It was challenging at times because I kind of had to get information from family members because I know my side of things but I don’t know the whole picture, so I had to talk to my family, I had to talk to friends for a lot of information to get things that I didn’t know about.

In addition to opening up about her traumatic past, Gypsy revealed that she had been put under anesthesia “over 100 times.” Luckily, she shared that she didn’t experience any noticeable side effects or long-term effects. “When I was under anesthesia as a child, I didn’t ask any questions,” she told Lowry. “Just like all these side effects and all the dangers were told to my mother and not to me” because she was a minor.

In her memoir, out now, Gypsy reveals that her mother was aware of her addiction and substance abuse but chose not to intervene. Instead, her mother allowed it to continue because it kept Gypsy close and under her control.
