Chrissy Teigen Explains Selfie of Her Bandaged, Swollen Face

The Deal or No Deal Island banker revealed she underwent a “hairline lowering procedure” since she “lost a lot of hair” after welcoming her children with husband John Legend.

Of her hair, Teigen wrote, “It’s just very thin up there. When you see it on a [red] carpet, it’s always extensions.”

And she added: “Anyhow, I’ll share more later if you’re interested in the journey, because it really is a journey, lol.”

Postpartum hair loss is a common condition that starts around three months after childbirth and lasts up to six months, according to Cleveland Clinic. Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy cause the condition, and though hair loss after childbirth is not permanent, some people may notice that their hair is coming back thinner, the clinic adds.

Teigen has been candid, by Hollywood standards, about her history of cosmetic procedures. In 2017, for example, she told Refinery29 she had armpit liposuction about nine years prior, calling it “one of the best things” and also “the dumbest, stupidest thing” she had ever done.

In 2019, Teigen said in her Instagram Stories that she got Botox in her armpits to reduce sweating, per Harper’s Bazaar. In 2021, she revealed on Instagram that she had buccal fat, a pad of fat below each cheekbone, removed, per People.

And in 2024, the former Lip Sync Battle cohost said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that she’d had three breast adjustments. “I’ve had my boobs done three times,” she said at the time, per USA Today. “I’ve had a lift, a put-in, a take-them-out.”

Now, with her latest time under the knife, it seems Teigen is putting a hairy situation behind her.
