Chrissy Teigen announced on social media today that she successfully underwent surgery to remove her breast implants after having them for 10 years.

On May 26, the cookbook author announced her upcoming surgery plans, which required a coronavirus test prior to the procedure.

Following the procedure, Teigen said "surgery went perfectly," and that she was experiencing some soreness. She also shared handwritten notes from her daughter Luna.

"So so so so so sore but waking up to this made it go away for half a minute at least," Teigen wrote.

The two Luna originals say "Have fun pulling your boobies out Love Luna," and "Bye boobies," with a mermaid sticker attached.

Teigen said she wanted to remove her breast implants to live in 'pure comfort'

When Teigen initially shared she was getting her breast implants removed, she said it was so she could feel more comfortable.

"They've been great to me for many years but I'm just over it. 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," Teigen wrote on Instagram.

Teigen's move is part of a larger trend of people getting "explants" in recent years — many of them high-profile, and many doing it because of negative side effects from their implants.

Ayesha Curry, a Food Network star and wife of NBA player Stephen Curry, is one. She commented on Teigen's post, saying she got her implants removed because they made her feel sick.

"Life-changing, you're gonna love it. I got mine out last year," Curry commented on Teigen's initial announcement post.

Michelle Visage and Yolanda Hadid have also been vocal about their decisions to have their breast implants removed.
