Chrissy Teigen disclosed that she has undergone breast augmentation three times.
The 38-year-old model and cookbook author was participating in “The Lies Have It” game on Watch What Happens LiveWith Andy Cohen with Below Deck alum Kate Chastain when she made the candid confession.
“I’ve had my boobs done three times,” Teigen stated as her “lie” during the game before quickly admitting, “I don’t even understand this game.”
Later in the show, Teigen clarified that the statement was, in fact, the truth. “I’ve had a lift, a put in, a take them out. I don’t like them out,” she shared with a laugh.
This is not the first time Teigen has been open about her breast augmentation journey. In March 2020, she revealed to Glamour UK that she underwent plastic surgery at the age of 20. The initial procedure was motivated by her career as a model, with Teigen expressing a desire for perkiness in swimsuit photos.
“I had a quarter ‘teardrop’ cup in the bottom and filled out the breast line. But I want them out now,” Teigen said at the time. “If I could do one thing, it would be to have a lift.”
The mother of four — who shares sons Wren, 7 months, and Miles, 5, and daughters Esti, 12 months, and Luna, 7, with husband John Legend — explained the impact of pregnancy on her breast implants. “But then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate and now I am screwed,” she lamented.
“I think you’re supposed to replace [implants] every 10 years,” she said. “But when you have kids, you think about [the risks] of surgery and I think, ‘This is not the way I want to die, in boob surgery.'”
Teigen, who had some reservations about undergoing surgery again, eventually decided to have her implants removed. In 2020, she announced the decision, expressing her desire for comfort and the ability to wear clothes in her size without any issues.
“They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it. I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort! No biggie!” Teigen reassured her fans.
After the successful surgery, Teigen’s friends threw her a celebratory party, complete with a humorous cake decorated with a tombstone and a pair of frosting boobs. The cake read, “RIP 2006-2020,” marking the end of Teigen’s breast implant era.
