Kailyn Lowry addressed plastic surgery regrets in a recent video shared on social media.

In early January, Kailyn took to Instagram and TikTok with a video update after undergoing breast reduction surgery.

“I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower,” she said in a video of herself putting on makeup for the first time since the procedure. “I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny.”

In the clip, she said going under the knife was a 'mental illness.'

“I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job or a boob job is OK. But to go through this to be skinny is mental illness, truly,” Kailyn continued. “And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”

Kailyn admitted she struggles with body dysmorphia — and would go to 'any freaking length' just 'to be skinny.'

After going under the knife, Kailyn admitted that she was “struggling this time around.”

“I don’t know if it’s because I have a daughter now,” she explained. “Not just my daughter, like my sons, too, I don’t ever want them to experience this level of this body dysmorphia.”

The former Teen Mom star said that she spent Christmas in another state just “to be skinny.”

“I was willing to go to any freaking length for it,” she continued. “And I don’t think that’s something that people talk about.”

Finally, she warned followers to 'think twice before you get plastic surgery.'

In addition to getting a breast reduction, Kailyn said she underwent other procedures, including lipo 360 and a tummy tuck. She ended her social media update with words of advice for fans. “Think once, think twice before you get plastic surgery,” she warned. “And I hope everyone has a happy new year.”

Fans praised Kailyn for her honesty and vulnerability.

In the comments of her TikTok video, users flooded Kailyn with words of praise and encouragement.

One person wrote, “So many of us have these same struggles.. we just usually suffer in silence. Thank you for giving us a voice.🫶.”

Another shared, ‘Whew! I felt this in my soul. Body dysmorphia is so freaking hard! ❤️,” while someone else commented, “This is so raw and beautiful. Giving a voice to women who feel this in silence.”

Meanwhile, yet another TikTok user wrote, “Wow this is so real for you to say, thank you for this as someone who has dealt with body insecurity.”
