Chrissy Teigen Reveals Hairline Lowering Procedure After Viral Hospital Photo
Oh fantastic, Chrissy Teigen has gone under the knife again—this time to lower her hairline after motherhood apparently pilfered her frontal follicles. Reports from People Magazine and Dotdash Meredith confirm that the 39-year-old model and cookbook author stunned fans when she posted a bandaged hospital selfie on Instagram Stories. On May 23, Teigen broke her silence with a caption that read, “Hi friends! [A] lot of you have been wondering about my hospital pic which is very understandable as I gave no explanation lol. I had a hairline lowering procedure.” She even peeled back the dressing to reveal stitches at her scalp, claiming she “lost a lot in the front from babies and it’s just very thin up there.”
Teigen, who shares four children—Luna Simone (2016) and Miles Theodore (2018) with John Legend, plus newborns Esti Maxine and Wren Alexander Stephens (2023) via surrogate—blamed her dwindling locks on pregnancy hormones and hair-thinning that no amount of extensions could hide. As she quipped, “When you see it on a carpet, it’s ALWAYS extensions.” Fans desperate for more juicy details can breathe easy, because Chrissy promised to “share more later” about this “journey” if interest remains high.
Let’s not forget Chrissy’s well-documented cosmetic cavalcade. In 2021, she openly chronicled an eyebrow transplant on Instagram Stories—complete with credit to Drs. Jason Diamond and Jason Champagne—calling her new brows “crazy” but “so cool.” She’s also known for dramatic hair experiments: a pastel pink dye job in 2021, sunlit blonde highlights back in 2020, a sleek bob debut at the 2025 Grammys, and multiple midlife chop-and-go cuts. Between chop-chops, injections, and now a surgical scalp shift, Teigen seems determined to curate every follicle of her public persona.
Of course, skeptics might argue there’s no shortage of hairstylists or hair-growth serums at her disposal, yet Chrissy opted for scalpel over serum. Whether this hairline-lowering tweak will solve her “thin up there” dilemma remains to be seen. One thing’s certain: in the age of influencer perfection, no patch of skin is safe from cosmetic intervention.
And there you have it—just another glamorous chase for youth in the age of social media. Don’t say you weren’t briefed.
