Savannah Chrisley on Liposuction After 40-Pound Endometriosis Weight Gain
Oh great, plastic surgery is the new medication of choice – Savannah Chrisley says she got liposuction after packing on 40 pounds in just three months due to her endometriosis treatment. Savannah, 27, confessed on the July 15 episode of her Unlocked podcast that a potent drug cocktail for her chronic condition sent her weight skyrocketing, and by the time she landed a major campaign shoot, she was desperate for a quick fix.
She explained that her body had rebelled as she battled endometriosis, an often excruciating ailment where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, according to the Mayo Clinic. “I gained 40 pounds, literally, in three months,” Savannah said, adding that she “hated” the way she looked and felt mentally drained. After a virtual consult with a plastic surgeon, she booked the liposuction procedure within a week, with her mom, Julie Chrisley, by her side for moral support.
Savannah was brutally honest about the emotional toll. She admitted that when your reflection on set feels like an enemy, it hits both your body and your spirit. The fat removal surgery, which she noted happened “a while ago,” delivered an almost instant gratification that reminded her of the power of visuals in the influencer age. “If you do not like how you look, it does not just take a toll physically, but emotionally and mentally,” she said.
In typical celebrity fashion, the procedure also jump-started her commitment to wellness. Savannah confessed that seeing the results motivated her to adopt healthier habits. She kicked off a lean-eating regime and doubled down on workouts, determined to maintain her new silhouette rather than rely on knives and suction again.
Savannah’s candid admission follows her August 2020 disclosure of three surgeries to combat endometriosis, a condition she was diagnosed with at 18. “The pain at times is unbearable,” she wrote on Instagram after enduring nerve cuts to reduce discomfort. She detailed on Instagram how recovery left her in tears but hopeful that future treatments would offer relief.
She is far from the only celebrity in the weight-loss confessional club. Singer Jelly Roll told his wife Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast in November 2024 that he shed 120 pounds publicly to demystify the journey. Kelly Clarkson, mom to River and Remington, admitted to People magazine that a pre-diabetic warning spurred her to lose weight through a high-protein diet, city walking routines, infrared saunas and a cold plunge rather than Ozempic or similar drugs. Even Oprah Winfrey has teased a mystery medication, as reported by Entertainment Tonight, though she has not disclosed the name.
Savannah’s story underscores the collision of health struggles, medical decisions and the instant gratification demanded by social media. Whether liposuction is a blessing or a crutch, it certainly makes for a headline. Nothing shocking here, folks. Let’s all act surprised.
