Despite plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures being far more commonplace these days, there are still people out there who are reticent about admitting to having gone through it. Celebrities, particularly actors and models, are no different in this regard.
But now one of the most famous models in the world has opened up about her own experiences. That's right, this week the model, influencer, and wife of John Legend Chrissy Teigen has discussed getting breast implants when she was younger in a candid interview.
Check out this hilarious video showing Chrissy Teigen and John Legend getting 'frisky' at Kris Jenner's house:Speaking to Glamour UK, the Sports Illustrated model stated: "Yeah, I did my boobs when I was about 20 years old. It was more for a swimsuit thing. I thought, if I’m going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky! But then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate and now I am screwed."
She continued: "I had a quarter ‘teardrop’ cup in the bottom and filled out the breast line. But I want them out now. If I could do one thing, it would be to have a lift. I think you’re supposed to replace [implants] every 10 years. 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."
She also spoke about her own body image issues as a younger woman, stating: "I used to weigh myself every morning, afternoon and night. I knew what the scales would say after each meal. I did that for eight years and had this one weight I wanted to be at. That changed with [my kids] where it took me a year to be comfortable with my new normal number."
Hopefully, thanks to people like Chrissy discussing such matters honestly, we will see people become more empowered to embrace their own bodies.
