Chrissy Teigen, never one to shy away from transparency, has once again opened up about her journey with cosmetic surgery.
This time, the 39-year-old model, cookbook author, and mom of four revealed her most recent procedure: a hairline-lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction.
Teigen, who has previously been candid about her experiences with cosmetic enhancements, sparked speculation after sharing an Instagram Live video from a hospital bed, wearing a chin support wrap.
The following day, she took to Instagram Stories to address her curiosity. "Hi, friends! A lot of you were wondering about my hospital pic, which is very understandable as I gave no explanation, lol, I had a hairline lowering procedure."
The "Cravings" author explained her reasons for undergoing the surgery, citing changes to her hairline after having children. "I lost a lot in the front from babies, and it's just very thin up there,' she said, adding that her signature red carpet looks often relies on extensions.

What is hairline-lowering surgery? To better understand the procedure, Independent Lifestyle reached out to Dr Judey Pretorius, a distinguished Biomedical Scientist with vast expertise in wound healing, regenerative medicine, and cell therapy.
'Hairline lowering, also referred to as hairline advancement or forehead reduction, involves repositioning the hairline closer to the eyebrows to reduce the height of the forehead,' explains Pretorius.
'An incision is made along the hairline, and a portion of the forehead skin is removed. The hairline is then pulled downward, creating a more balanced and proportionate appearance.'
This surgical procedure is popular among women who feel self-conscious about a naturally high hairline or large forehead. While the surgery is often performed alone, it can also be combined with hair transplants or brow lifts for enhanced results.
