Chrissy Teigen Reveals She Underwent a ‘Hairline Lowering Procedure’ After Photo of Her Bandaged Face Goes Viral

​Chrissy Teigen is getting candid about a recent cosmetic procedure she had done. A few days after she reportedly shared a video of herself with a bandaged face in the hospital, the model and cookbook author, 39, revealed the reason why she was there on her Instagram Stories.

“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 wrote in the May 23 post, alongside a photo of herself pulling back her bandage to show off stitches at her hairline.

“Lost a lot in the front from babies and it’s just very thin up there,” she explained of her hair. “When you see it on a carpet, it’s ALWAYS extensions.”

Teigen gave birth to daughter Luna Simone in 2016 and son Miles Theodore in 2018, and welcomed daughter Esti Maxine and son Wren Alexander Stephens in 2023 via surrogate. She shares all four children with husband John Legend, 46.

The Cravings cookbook author concluded her Instagram Stories post by saying she would “share more later” about her hairline-lowering procedure if fans were “interested” in additional details because it really was “a journey.”

Teigen is no stranger to cosmetic procedures. She previously shared on her Instagram Stories in 2021 that she got an eyebrow transplant surgery, where hairs are taken from the back of a patient’s head and placed on the face to create a fuller set of brows.

“I never wear makeup if I can avoid it so I was so excited for this eyebrow transplant surgery,” she wrote atop a photo of herself post-surgery, tagging Drs. Jason Diamond and Jason Champagne.

At the time, Teigen shared a post-surgery image of her new brow look, calling the results “crazy” in the caption. “They look so cool,” she also said in a clip, while pointing to her new brows. “He did hairs up here to even them out.”

She has also not been afraid to undergo some drastic hair changes. In February, she shared that she chopped off her longer locks in favor of a short bob style. She showed off the look on the 2025 Grammys red carpet and in a mirror selfie shared the next day inside of a walk-in closet.

“Keeping it short!” Teigen captioned the video, also tagging her glam team: “hairinel @krisstudden @alanavanderaa.”

She has experimented with different colors as well, previously dying her hair pastel pink in 2021 and adding different blonde and light brown highlights in 2020.
