Amy Schumer has said she chose to undergo liposuction after reaching "a place where I was tired of looking at myself in the mirror".
The comedian revealed her decision to have the fat removal procedure in January, after she had her uterus and appendix removed in September 2021 to treat her endometriosis.
In a new interview, the 40-year-old told Hollywood Reporter that she never thought about having plastic surgery but was swayed when her "uterus didn't contract for two and a half years" after the birth of her two-year-old son Gene.
"It's not about needing to be slamming, because I've never been famous for being hot, but I'd reached a place where I was tired of looking at myself in the mirror," she said.
What's more, Schumer added that it was not an issue that could be fixed with "grilled chicken and walks", explaining: "Everybody on camera is doing this s***, I just wanted to be real about it."
Schumer shared her decision on her Instagram Stories and said she now weighs 170lbs following the surgery and had "no regrets" about it.
Back in January, Schumer thanked those who helped her throughout her endometriosis and liposuction surgeries.
"I feel good. Finally. It's been a journey thanks for helping me get my strength back @seckinmd(endo) @jordanternermd (lipo)," she began.
"Never thought I would do anything but talk to me after your uterus doesn't contract for 2.5 years and you turn 40."
After the surgery, she said in a follow-up Instagram post that all of her "lifelong pain" had been "explained" and "lifted out of [her] body," leaving her a "changed person."
Following her surgery, Schumer said in an audio recording of her post-op appointment that she feels like a new person.
"All my lifelong pain explained and lifted out of my body," she said at the time. "I am already a changed person. I am busting with joy for the new energy I have to be with my son."
Schumer has shared her stance on the thriving industry of cosmetic treatments in the past, offering a diplomatic approach. "I don't judge anybody for having plastic surgery at all," she told Cosmopolitan back in 2014.
"I think the industry surrounding it and the drive to do it and how it seems like usually, it's never enough — I think that's bad. I don't think it's great for people."
