Teen MomalumKailyn Lowryis setting the record straight after undergoing a tummy tuck — saying that while she’s got “severe bruising in my butt cheek,” it wasn’t a BBL, or a Brazilian butt lift.

“We’re five days post-op,” she began in aTikTokposted Feb 1. Lowry, 31, clad in blue pajamas, walks through the hallway of her home explaining that “I’m trying to taper down onpain meds. Don’t want to get addicted.”

She adds, “I’m severely uncomfortable,” and that her close friend Sterling Black was on hand to “help me take a shower. And then I’m going to do lymphatic massage. But I am getting around. Just a little — a little uncomfortable.”

Later in the video, Lowry explains that “I did not do a butt transfer orBBLor anything like that, but because we did a tummy tuck revision to combine my c-section scar with it, I have severe bruising in my butt cheek.”

She also offered some advice, “no matter what surgery you get,” sharing, “make sure you take laxatives or Miralax or whatever else .”

As she talks, the caption “speaking from new experience” pops up on the video — perhaps a reference to the constipation that can come from specific categories of pain meds. Lowry added that she was headed into the shower — and shared a final shot afterward wearing bandages that extend past her neckline.

“I’m in pain,” she says, adding smiley-face emojis, before showing off her beverage of choice — prune juice mixed with Miralax, presumably to help with the constipation.

“I just pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” she said.
