Chrissy Teigen recently surprised fans by revealing the reason behind a hospital selfie she posted days earlier. The model and cookbook author opened up about undergoing a hairline-lowering surgery.
Known for her honesty on topics like parenting and beauty, Teigen shared an update in her Instagram Stories on May 23. She posted a close-up photo showing her bandaged forehead and wrote, “Hi friends! A lot of you have been wondering about my hospital pic, which is very understandable as I gave no explanation lol. I had a hairline-lowering procedure.”
Teigen explained that the surgery was to address hair loss she experienced after having children. “Lost a lot in the front from babies, and it’s just very thin up there,” she said, referring to postpartum hair thinning. She also joked about how extensions often mask thinning hair.
The Cravings cookbook author promised to share more details later for those interested, calling the experience “a journey.” Unlike many celebrities who avoid discussing cosmetic procedures, Teigen remains open and candid about her beauty choices, noting she’s had work done on almost everything except her cheeks.
