Lookin' good!
Plastic surgery is part of the norm when you're a Teen Mom cast member. In fact, most of the stars have gone under the knife at one point or another, each having different nips, tucks, lifts, and augmentations. Not least among these numbers is Kailyn Lowry. Even though her alterations haven't been as drastic as Farrah Abraham's, Kailyn has still had numerous procedures over the years, and looking back, it's easy to see just how much her looks has changed!
Kailyn has redefined what it means to have a glow up, and now we're breaking down all of the steps she took to get there one by one.
Back to Basics
Kailyn Lowry has always had a few staples that make her look so iconic. She keeps her naturally blonde hair long and curly, has gorgeous dimples and a great smile. In her first appearances on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 2 in 2011, Kailyn made her debut au naturale, and it wasn't until 2014 that she began to have cosmetic changes.
Gum Reduction
Like many, Kailyn spent some time with braces on during her adolecense. That's why for her first cosmetic procedure in 2014, she decided to have a gum reduction, reducing the amount of gum that are visible when she smiles. She may not have known at this point that it would be the first of numerous operations!
Lip Filler Rumors
Only a year later in 2015, fans started to spot something different about Kailyn, according to Radar Online. It looked like Kailyn's lips had gotten noticably plumper virtually overnight! However, she addressed the rumors head-on, saying, "No, I do not have lip fillers."
She's far from the only cast member that fans think had fillers. Her co-star Leah Messer has fans convinced that she's gotten lip fillers too!
Mommy Makeover
It wasn't until 2016 that Kailyn decided to have more drastic changes made to her body. Like her co-star Briana DeJesus ― who just posted videos of her full surgical procedure ― Kailyn put her body in the hands of Dr. Miami. She had a liposuction, tummy tuck, and Brazilian butt lift, all published by her surgeon.
It's not uncommon for reality stars to experience body and esteem issues, and Kailyn is no different. She even opened up about her struggles in her book, Hustle and Heart. “For years I struggled with eating disorders, and I was extremely self-conscious about my weight. This is rarely something you ever completely get over," she wrote.
She went on, "I knew that being satisfied with my outer appearance would give me the confidence I needed to face the world head on." The star turned to surgery for the changes she wanted.
Showing it Off
Can you blame her? Kailyn took to social media after her full Mommy Makeover to show off her new curves. Her then-husband Javi Marroquin also spoke out with support, writing on Twitter "Whatever is going to make her happy, then I ride with her. Feel better babe.”
She took a break for a short time, then ran into another surgical scandal.
Backfired
Next, Kailyn decided to go for her lips — but it backfired on her! Some fans noticed something strange about her new look at the Teen Mom 2 2016 reunion, and she was quick to clear it up. “Tried to get lip fillers and had a reaction. You should have seen them without lipstick," she wrote on Twitter.
New Smile
Apparently that scandal didn't break Kailyn's trust in surgical procedures, though. In 2017, she shared that she was getting a whole new smile! “I am going to the dentist to get my veneers done. They are super thin. No prep, no drill, no pain.”
Calling it Quits
Kailyn recently had huge news to share about more surgery... that she wasn't getting any more! After sharing adorable pictures of her and Lux in Miami in early 2018, she spilled the truth about her trip.
“I won’t lie to y’all, i came to Miami for lipo & a boob job,” Kailyn spilled on Twitter on Jan. 23. “But hours before my surgery i decided i don’t want to go through with it.”
She revealed that she had already decided what she was going to do instead. “When i get home I’ll use the money i was gona spend on surgery for a nutritionist & get back into working out,” she shared.
Done for Good?
After Kailyn's botched lip injections, she told Radar Online that she was calling her relationship with plastic surgery quits. "No more plastic surgery," she said. "I tried Botox, horrible fail for me. I’m done.”
It seems like fans aren't totally buying it! With Kailyn's stunning new looks she's serving up every day, many fans believe she's gotten work done on her face. Kailyn spoke out about the rumors, saying, “Omg the comments on my IG. I wear some make up for once in my life and people swear i got a whole new face. I don’t get Botox, i haven’t touched my face."
