TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry has shared graphic photos from her plastic surgery recovery.
The mom-of-seven, 32, revealed she’d had a breast reduction surgery over the new year, as well as a tummy tuck and lipo 360, but has since said she already regrets them.

Today Kailyn gave her fans an update on how she was doing with a series of honest photos.
In the slew of snaps, she can be seen with tubes coming out of her nose.
She also had tubes hooked up to her stomach, and blood could clearly be seen.
Kailyn also revealed she was taking extra protein as she recovered.
Just last week, Kailyn expressed regrets at getting the surgery, which saw her miss out on Christmas in the process in order to recover.
She also said her fiancé Elijah was unable to help her as she recuperated.
Speaking on Instagram as she put on make-up, she said: “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,” she added.
“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.”
“I’m struggling this time around,” Kailyn continued. “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.
“I was basically willing to go to any length and do this over Christmas break to be skinny, even if that meant that Elijah 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.”
Admitting to just how extensive her surgeries were, Kailyn revealed: “I don’t think that’s something that people talk about, right?

“Like I was going for a breast reduction, and then I was like, ‘oh, you know what, I should just be.. add some lipo360, add some tummy tuck in. You know, my scars were fine, my old tummy tuck scar and my C-section scar were fine.”
“I realised, 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,” she concluded.
“I’m struggling. Stop crying and I’m gonna suck it up for the rest of the day,” she said, adding, “Think once, think twice before you get plastic surgery, and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.”
Kailyn and Elijah got engaged in August 2024, a year after welcoming twins, Verse and Valley.
The star has been documenting her life since she debuted on 16 And Pregnant in 2010, and then Teen Mom 2 in 2011.
She left the franchise in 2022, after having four children, getting married and divorced, and having another relationship that didn’t work out.
Kailyn is a mom to a son, Isaac, 14, with her ex, Jo Rivera; a son, Lincoln, 10, with her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin; two sons, Lux, 6, and Creed, 3, with her ex, Chris Lopez; and three children with Elijah: a son, Rio, 1, and twins daughter Valley and son Verse.
