As she celebrates her 33rd birthday, Kailyn Lowry is feeling comfortable in her own body.
The Teen Mom 2 alum shared images of herself in a bikini on a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands with partner Elijah Scott, father of three of her seven children, months after undergoing several plastic surgery procedures.
In a pic posted to her Instagram March 14, Kailyn poses in a black sports bra-style two-piece on the beach. The following day, she shared a TikTok video of herself smiling and laughing while wading in the crystal-clear aqua water, in response to a request from a fan who asked to see her "swimsuit body."
This marks the first time in almost two years that the podcaster—who shares with Elijah kids Rio, 2, and 16-month-old twins Verse and Valley, the latter of which is her first daughter—has posted a pic of herself in a swimsuit on social media. She shared her latest images more than a month after undergoing a tummy tuck revision.
The Teen Mom 2 star had the original procedure done after undergoing a breast reduction last December. One month later, she spoke out about the challenges of multiple surgeries.
"I was going for a breast reduction and then I was like, ‘Oh, I should just add some lipo 360, add some tummy tuck in,’” she said in an Instagram video posted Jan. 6. "I realized I shouldn't have put Elijah through all of this ’cause he couldn't be there for me the whole time."

Kailyn—who is also mom to sons Isaac, 15, Lincoln, 11, Lux, 7, and Creed, 4, from previous relationships—added that she prays her "kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny."
"I think a little nip and tuck in terms of, a nose job or like, a boob job, is OK," she said. "But to go through this to be skinny is mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it, I'm struggling this time around."
Kailyn concluded her message by advising her fans to "think twice before you get plastic surgery."
The former reality star, who had in 2016 also undergone a tummy tuck as well as a Brazilian butt lift and, previously discussed her desire to have more plastic surgery, sharing on her Barely Famous podcast in 2024 that she was originally denied a "boob job" because of her weight.
"You know what they told me? I need to lose 40 pounds," she said, "more like 50, but maybe get away with 40 pounds before they can even operate on me."
She added, "That was extremely humbling."
