Chrissy Teigen breaks silence as her bandaged face goes viral

Chrissy Teigen is spilling the beans on her latest cosmetic procedure.

The model and cookbook author, 39, shared the details recently a few days after she shocked fans with a photo of her bandaged face in the hospital.

“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,” she revealed in the May 23 post, alongside a photo of herself pulling back her bandage to show off stitches at her hairline.

“Lost a lot in the front from babies and it’s just very thin up there,” the mother of two explained of her hair. “When you see it on a carpet, it’s ALWAYS extensions.”

Teigen gave birth to daughter Luna Simone in 2016 and son Miles Theodore in 2018 and then welcomed daughter Esti Maxine and son Wren Alexander Stephens via surrogate in 2023. She shares all four children with her husband John Legend, 46.

The Cravings cookbook author concluded her Instagram Stories post by saying she would “share more later” about her hairline-lowering procedure if fans were “interested” in additional details because it really was “a journey.”

Teigen previously underwent eyebrow transplant surgery in 2021, which is done by taking hair from the back of the head to place on the face.
