Taking to her Instagram Story, Chrissy Teigen, 39, addressed the speculation around her hospital photo, writing, “A lot of you are wondering about my hospital pic which is very understandable as I gave no explanation lol.”

Alongside a close-up image of her stitches, she added, “I had a hairline lowering procedure. Lost a lot in the front from babies and it’s just very thin up there. When you see it on a carpet, it’s ALWAYS extensions.”

She assured fans that she’s doing fine and plans to share more about her recovery soon. “It really is a journey,” she added.

Teigen has never shied away from talking about the procedures she’s had. Over the years, she’s openly discussed everything from breast implants at age 20 to buccal fat removal and even armpit liposuction.

In 2020, she chose to have her implants removed, saying she was simply “over it.”

“I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort!” she explained, adding humorously that breasts are “just a dumb, miraculous bag of fat.”

Mockery about her appearance also followed. “So she went from a five head to a forehead. Never was anything that spectacular in the looks department,” one wrote.

Another remarked, “Imagine being so vain. Cut some bangs.”

Others used the moment to critique her history with cosmetic procedures, with one person writing, “She is mentally unwell. She had her eyebrows transplanted on, livestreamed her miscarriage and is completely obsessed with Trump. Now she just nipped and tucked her forehead? Just be content already.”
