The "Dancing with the Stars" alum recently shared her plans to go under the knife to enhance her boobs. She broke the news in a social media post, telling fans she chose the operation as a Christmas gift to herself.
Lindsay Arnold's surprising announcement follows her first Christmas celebration as the proud mother of two children. She welcomed daughters Sage Jill and June with her husband, Samuel Lightner Cusick, with the youngest arriving after she decided to leave "DWTS."
Lindsay Arnold Scheduled For Breast Augmentation And Lift
In a 'GRWM' video on TikTok, Arnold shared an important post-Christmas update with fans. She filmed herself getting glammed-up at home while announcing her decision to get a breast augmentation and a breast lift in "a little over two weeks."
The dancer explained that she was scheduled to have both procedures once she returned from her 31st birthday celebrations in Mexico. She and her husband would enjoy the romantic getaway before she geared up to receive her Christmas present.
"My Christmas present this year is that I'm getting a breast augmentation…Guys, I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out, okay, but I'm also so excited…I am also getting a lift. So it's gonna be a lift and augmentation," Arnold explained. She confessed to having mixed reactions about the surgery, saying:
"I'm very excited, but I'm not going to lie like it is kinda scary. It's just like — so many decisions, and it's hard that you make the choices for yourself, and you have to live with those choices. So I'm hoping that I make the right decision."
The Body Enhancement Surgery Wasn't A Spontaneous Decision
Arnold confessed that she always wanted to get the boob job and even considered documenting the process for fans. "It's something that I knew I always wanted to do. I know there's mixed opinions on this type of thing, and so I get it. If it's not for you, it's not for you," she said.
She was not alone in having mixed reactions to the procedure, with fans echoing similar sentiments. Some supported her decision, others criticized it, and a few teased her.
In the post's comments, many of Arnold's supporters expressed excitement for the procedure and urged her to document her journey.
"You should document the entire process. The right before feelings, the aftermath, the pain, the cost, and a before and after. A lot of women would like to know the entirety!" someone penned. Another shared the same view, declaring, "Tell us everything!" while a third chimed, "I want to be a part of all of it!!"

Others reacted to the news on X, with one fan implying the entertainment industry had influenced her. "Hollywood just gets to everyone eventually," the individual lamented. Another critic saw Arnold's Christmas gift explanation as an excuse to get a boob job.
They claimed women would find reasons to defend their body enhancement surgeries instead of admitting it was to become sexually appealing to men. "Bold choice, Lindsay. Most people settle for a sweater, but you went for the whole damn rack," someone teased the media personality.
An X user shared similar thoughts, noting Arnold should embrace the season of giving by flaunting the results of her breast augmentation and lift. The entertainer's decision to go under the knife follows her first Christmas celebration as a mother of two.

Arnold welcomed her first daughter, Sage Jill, in 2020 and her second, June, in May 2023. A year before the baby's arrival, The Blast reported that the dancer had announced her exit from "DWTS" on Instagram.
She shared a picture of herself, her husband, and her oldest daughter posing in a meadow alongside a lengthy statement.
"I wanted to let you all know that I have decided not to be a part of 'Dancing with the Stars' this season. This has been one of the hardest decisions to make, but ultimately, I have chosen what I feel is best for myself and my family," she began.
Arnold stressed that the dance competition had been a significant part of her life; however, she needed to focus on her role as a mother. Because her family lived in Utah, shooting the dance show in Los Angeles while her husband held down the fort was challenging.
Lindsay Arnold Wanted To Expand Her Family
Apart from the distance, Arnold shared that she and Cusick were trying to expand their family. She noted that their wish for more children complicated her stay on the show; hence, it was best for everyone that she left. Arnold implored fans for their understanding, writing:
"It's so important to me that you understand none of this has anything to do with my love for the show as that will NEVER change, and it also doesn't mean that this is the end for me and DWTS."
The media personality reiterated that her departure was the best decision and expressed her excitement to watch her former co-stars hit the dance floor for the next season. She concluded her message by thanking fans for their constant support and promising to keep them posted about her motherhood plans.
