Chrissy Teigen shocks fans with photo of bandaged face after cosmetic procedure
The Lip Sync Battle host, 39, shared a video to her Instagram stories last week in which she appeared to be reclining in bed with a beige bandage wrapped around her head.
Offering no context, she must have sparked worries from concerned followers, as she offered an explanation soon after, revealing the reason for the bandages.
As it turned out there was no cause for concern – Chrissy had just undergone a routine hairline lowering procedure.
The star is no stranger to cosmetic surgery, once admitting that 'everything is fake except my cheeks.'
During a 2017 interview with Byrdie, she is said to have pointed to her forehead, nose and lips and commented: 'fake, fake, fake.'
Chrissy can now add her lowered hairline to that list. Sharing a snap of a series of stitches to her stories, she wrote: 'Hi friends! A lot of you are wondering about my hospital pic which is very understandable as I gave no explanation, lol.'
She continued: 'I had a hairline lowering procedure. Lost a lot in the front from babies and it's just very thin up there. When you see it on a [red] carpet it's ALWAYS extensions.'
'Anyhow I'll share more later if you're interested in the journey because it really is a journey lol.'
The media personality previously spoke of having her 'armpits sucked out,' telling Byrdie: 'I had an armpit sucked out, which was one of the best things. It's a big secret, but I don't care. It was nine years ago or so.
'It added two inches of length to my arms.'
She revealed how she would have to have the procedure again as 'the fat has come back.'

More recently, the star left fans shocked as a video of her exfoliation routine was shared to social media by her husband, musician John Legend, 46.
Captioning the post 'Sometimes you gotta exfoliate!' the All Of Me singer shared footage of his wife in the bath, scrubbing her herself in a tub full of brown water.
In the video, Chrissy clarified that she was 'getting rid of [her] body makeup.'
As fans shared their concern at the colour of the bath water, she re-iterated: 'The water is dirty because I'm getting my body makeup off, like I said in the video my sweet angels!'
In recent years, she has become as renowned for her candid comments as she is her love of cosmetic surgery – speaking of how she wished a colonoscopy could have lasted 'longer' so she might have a nap during the procedure. More Trending

'He accidentally ate a broccoli floret in fried rice and was so upset about it,' she joked.

Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams and 'hard launch summer'
Rodrigo had subtly posted photos of British actor Louis Partridge in previous photo dumps, but never his face. But towards the end of a Glastonbury recap post on July 2, Rodrigo shared a clip of her dancing on Partridge's shoulders, smiling and singing along to Pulp's "Common People." The comment section exploded. "The hard launch I was waiting for I'm so happy," one fan wrote. Abrams also shared a photo of herself dancing on Irish actor Paul Mescal's shoulders over the weekend on her Instagram stories, followed by a selfie in a photo dump on her feed on July 2. "I'm so happy for two people I don't even know," one fan commented. "Both you and Olivia hard launching on the feed is really special to me," wrote another. So what is the art of the "hard launch"? The term made waves last summer when Taylor Swift finally posted Travis Kelce on her Instagram feed. Both Abrams and Rodrigo's rumored relationships have also been in the spotlight already. Early kisses caught by paparazzi, gossip circulating social media, songs seemingly written about their partners (have you listened to Rodrigo's "so american"?). But the "hard launch" is about telling the world you're together, on your terms. Therapists say celebrities have myriad reasons for pulling that proverbial trigger. But whether it's a carefully curated moment or an impulsive expression of love, you can't unring that bell. "Every aspect of the relationship can become fodder for public consumption and scrutiny, putting a spotlight on the couple and creating pressure to be seen as a healthy match," Jeff Guenther, licensed professional counselor and author of "Big Dating Energy," previously told USA TODAY. "You're also leaving yourself open to increased criticism." The 'hard launch' and controlling the narrative Dating is tricky no matter who you are, especially early on before you decide to start telling people. With celebrities, not only are they opening themselves to scrutiny from their family and friends, but often the whole world. In the beginning stages, it may also seem too good to be true, and shouting your love from the rooftops can feel like jinxing it. Last summer, when Sabrina Carpenter featured then-rumored beau, Irish actor Barry Keoghan, in the music video for "Please, Please, Please," the song begged him not to "embarrass" her. We can't speculate how Carpenter feels after that allegedly fizzled, but her newest single, "Manchild," may give listeners a clue. "When we introduce someone as our partner, there is an expectation that we've vetted this person," Kimberly Vered Shashoua, a licensed clinical social worker, previously told USA TODAY. "It can be embarrassing to have to go back to friends, family and Instagram and update them with a breakup." Think about all the couples, celebrities or otherwise, who never announce a thing. Often, it's a matter of self-preservation. All that said, it's easy to see why celebrities might want to shout about their relationships anyway. They're just like anyone else. It feels good to be in love. "When we feel confident in our partner, it can feel great to show them off," Shashoua said. "It's a lot easier to be honest with our friends and family than sneaking around. If we're active on social media, it can feel strange to have such a big part of your life hidden." Sabrina Carpenter, hookup culture and why the way we talk about sex is changing Risks, benefits of authenticity People must weigh the benefits and risks of authenticity when publicizing a private relationship. These "depend on what celebrities are getting out of it, the impact on their personal and professional lives and whether their choices are in line with their personality and core values," Cecille Ahrens, a licensed clinical social worker, previously told USA TODAY. No matter who you are, you give up pieces of yourself during a hard launch. Ahrens adds you may receive "unwanted attention" or face "constant boundary violations." Just ask Abrams, who faced criticism as rumors swirled about her and Mescal's relationship after his apparent breakup from Phoebe Bridgers. But with enough time passed, Abrams' "hard launch" has been met with support. The "hard launch" can even be a business strategy: "By being open about their relationships, celebrities can connect more deeply with their fans, boosting their parasocial relationships and most likely leading to more sales or followers," Guenther said. It's a decision that requires care and conversation. But at the end of the day, at least the decision is theirs. Contributing: David Oliver

Meghan talks about July 4 ‘tradition' and her second date with Harry
Meghan talks about July 4 'tradition' and her second date with Harry Harry and Meghan have been raising their children in Montecito, California Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared their second date in 2016 The Duchess of Sussex has opened up about a personal July 4 tradition that began during the early days of her relationship with her husband. In an Instagram post, Meghan said the couple began marking Independence Day in the United States with sweet treats after the duke brought themed cupcakes to celebrate their second date in 2016. The pair now include children Archie and Lilibet in the tradition, Meghan added. Posting a picture of seven cupcakes on social media, Meghan wrote: 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016 and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. 'Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition. Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes'. The duchess was also seen smiling in the kitchen and preparing fruit platters in a reel posted by her As Ever brand to mark the US holiday. A video on As Ever's Instagram account, captioned 'Happy 4th of July!' showed Meghan preparing boards of fruit and jam. Article continues below Earlier this week, the duchess' new rose wine, which is said to 'capture the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments' and costs more than £20 a bottle, sold out within an hour. Meghan launched her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2023, described as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish', on Tuesday. The beverage, priced at more than £65 for a minimum three-bottle order, had only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America. The duchess made her social media return in early 2025 and regularly shares personal milestones and professional updates through her Instagram account. Harry and Meghan have been raising their children in Montecito, California, since announcing they were stepping back as working members of the royal family on January 8 2020. The couple have since been at the centre of tensions with other royals, with the duke becoming estranged from his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales. Article continues below In a recent interview, Harry said he 'would love a reconciliation' with his family, claiming Charles will not speak to him and expressing concern that he does not know 'how much longer my father has'.
