Model Chrissy Teigen is “over” having fake boobs.
Teigen revealed Tuesday on social media she’s having her breast implants removed after fans wondered why she was getting a COVID-19 test.

“So I posted myself getting a covid test on the twitter, as I’m getting surgery soon,” Teigen said in a caption on a nude photo of herself. “A lot of people are understandably curious (and nosey!) so I’ll just say it here: I’m getting my boobs out!”
“They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it,” Teigen added. “I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort! No biggie! So don’t worry about me! All good. I’ll still have boobs, they’ll just be pure fat. Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat.”
The decision to remove the implants comes after Teigen admitted to having fake boobs in an interview with Glamour magazine published in March. Teigen has been vocal about the unrealistic expectations plastic surgery puts on others. (RELATED: Chrissy Teigen Admits She Had A Boob Job, Wants Her Implants Out)

“You can’t set these expectations for people that everything is perfect,” she said. “Everyone filters their sh*t, edits or Facetunes so you forget what normal faces or bodies look like.”
I’m with Teigen here and I’m glad she’s saying something about it. It’s 100% not wrong to get fake boobs. If you need them, or even if you want them, go for it. You just can’t pretend that you were born with them because that heavily distorts some girl’s idea of what she’s supposed to look like.
We need more transparency in America.
