“Teen Mom” alum Kailyn Lowry broke down in tears in an emotional video shared Jan. 7 to her Instagram, and admitted she has deep regrets about going under the knife.
“I was basically willing to go to any length to be skinny,” she said, as she sobbed. The 32-year old filmed herself while doing her makeup for the first time since undergoing breast reduction surgery in December and spoke candidly about her emotional turmoil after the experience. “I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower. I just pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” she said in the video.

Lowry went into detail on her struggle with body image.
“I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job or a boob job is okay, but to go through this to be skinny is mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it,” she said.
She admitted she was “struggling this time around,” and said she doesn’t want her daughters or her sons “to experience this level of body dysmorphia” either.
Lowry conveyed disappointment in herself and regret over the choices she had made.
“I was basically willing to go to any length and do this over Christmas break to be skinny, even if it meant that Elijah couldn’t be there for me. Even if it meant that I was in another state for Christmas,” she said.
“I was willing to go to any freaking length for it.”
She went on to say this experience was “rough,” but tried to talk herself into getting over her strong emotions, saying she was going to “suck it up” and move forward.
“I was going for a breast reduction and then I was like, ‘Oh, I should just add some lipo 360, add some tummy tuck in,’” she said. (RELATED: Blac Chyna Says Raunchy Plastic Surgery Gave Her The Wrong Attention And Big Regrets)
She concluded the video with some cautionary advice for her fans.
