Feeling lighter! Sister Wives’ Gwendlyn Brown opened up about her recent breast reduction surgery — a procedure she wouldn’t have been able to afford without mom Christine Brown’s help.
“I could not afford the reduction at all; I was struggling with rent and tuition even with my parents’ help so I’m always grateful that my mom paid for it,” Gwendlyn, 21, wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, January 12. “The surgery cost $8000 if I remember correctly and I owe her forever.”
The TLC star — who is the daughter of Christine, 50, and Kody Brown — revealed that while the surgery was “medically necessary,” it wasn’t covered under health insurance, despite having issues that caused her “back pain and posture deterioration.” ( In addition to Gwendlyn, Kody and Christine share five other children: Aspen, 27, Mykelti, 26, Paedon, 24, Ysabel, 19 and Truely, 12.)
After Christine agreed to help her daughter with the cost, Gwendlyn shared that she was able to undergo the procedure in July 2022, noting that it “went very well” and she was “only sore and near-immobile” for “a few days.”
She added, “I went from a size G breast to like C or something (I haven’t measured yet). The funny part is I wanted them to be even smaller.”
Gwendlyn’s post comes a few days after she casually mentioned the surgery in a YouTube video and fans began asking questions. The Utah native has been candid about her life and family via her social media accounts, often recapping various episodes of Sister Wives for her followers.
On Wednesday, January 11, the TV personality shared via her YouTube that she is rooting for her mom and Janelle Brown to team up for their own show following their respective splits from Kody.
