Former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has proudly unveiled the results of her recent 'mommy makeover' plastic surgery, just in time for her 34th birthday. The reality television personality took to Instagram on Thursday to share a series of before-and-after photographs, documenting her transformation following procedures she underwent earlier this month.
A Journey to Reclaim Confidence
In her candid social media post, the 33-year-old explained her decision to seek surgical intervention after having three children. Evans revealed she had long struggled with a post-pregnancy 'mom pouch' and found it impossible to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. She travelled to a clinic in Las Vegas for the procedures, which were performed by Dr. Rachel Mason at La Femme Plastic Surgery at the start of December.
'I've had my body judged since I was a teenager, so choosing this was about feeling like myself again and not explaining it to anyone else,' Evans wrote, referencing her early fame on MTV's 16 and Pregnant. She emphasised that the choice was deeply personal, aimed at helping her celebrate her birthday and the upcoming holiday season while finally 'loving the skin I'm in.'
The Specifics of the Surgery
The comprehensive 'mommy makeover' addressed several of Evans's post-pregnancy concerns. The procedures included:
- A breast implant replacement surgery.
- A tummy tuck with excess skin removal.
She sought the abdominoplasty specifically for 'some extra help' in repairing a condition known as diastasis recti. This common issue occurs when the abdominal muscles separate after being stretched during pregnancy, something Evans had tried to correct through workouts without success.
Despite still being in the healing phase, Evans expressed immense satisfaction with her decision. 'I already feel so confident, happy and really excited about this new chapter,' she shared with her followers. Her post concluded with a positive note for her birthday: 'Tomorrow I celebrate my 34th birthday and I can honestly say I'm proud to welcome a new year loving the skin I'm in.'
Transparency for Other Mothers
Jenelle Evans, who recently disclosed her earnings from the adult subscription platform OnlyFans, stated she wanted to be open about her experience for the sake of other mothers. 'I want other women to know they're not broken, they're not doing anything wrong, and there is a solution,' she asserted in a press release shared with the Daily Mail. This revelation follows her earlier comments about being 'done having kids' and feeling ready to do something solely for herself.
The television star is a mother to three children from previous relationships: 16-year-old son Jace with ex Andrew Lewis, 11-year-old son Kaiser with ex Nathan Griffith, and eight-year-old daughter Ensley with ex-husband David Eason. Her journey highlights a personal choice in addressing the physical changes that can follow motherhood, a topic she has now brought into the public conversation with striking honesty.
