In a newly uploaded photo to her Instagram Stories, Lowry is all smiles, flashing a peace sign for her fans. In the caption, she wrote, "4 days post-op... Do you want breast reduction videos?" and included a poll for her followers to cast their votes.

On her “Almost Famous” podcast, Lowry revealed that her doctors required her to lose at least 40 to 50 pounds before they would approve her for the procedure. She admitted to being initially uncertain about whether she wanted a reduction, implants, or a lift, but ultimately decided that reducing her breast size was the right choice for her.

In fact, she recently hosted Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the 33-year-old ex con who was sentenced for her involvement in her mother's murder. The episode explored Gypsy's new book, where she shares her harrowing experiences of growing up under her mother’s oppressive control and enduring the effects of Munchausen by proxy abuse. Gypsy spoke candidly about her complex family dynamics, her time in prison, and the obstacles she’s faced since gaining her freedom, including battling addiction and learning to navigate relationships while rebuilding her life.

"I've been working on it for about three years, the portion that was the final pieces was editing and that came after I got released," Gypsy told Lowry on the episode. "It was challenging at times because I had to kind of ask for information from family members because like I know my side of things, but I don't know the full picture, so I had to talk to family I had to talk to friends to get a lot of information I didn't know about."

Gypsy not only opened up about her traumatic past but also revealed that she had been put under anesthesia "over 100 times." Fortunately, she shared that she hasn’t experienced any noticeable side effects or long-term consequences. "Going under anesthesia when I was a kid, I didn't ask questions," she explained to Lowry. "So like all these side effects and all of the dangers were told to my mom and not to me" since she was a minor.

In her memoir, which is available now, Gypsy discloses that her mother was aware of her addiction and drug abuse but chose not to intervene. Instead, her mother allowed it to continue because it helped keep Gypsy close and under her control.
