McKayla Adkins from Unexpected opens up about how she regrets going under the knife. She thought a rhinoplasty surgery would make her feel better about her appearance. But the feeling didn’t last long.
Unexpected: McKayla Adkins Talks Desire for Perfection
McKayla Adkins shared her journey of becoming a mother on TLC’s Unexpected. Since her appearance, she has broken up with the father of her two children, Caelan Morrison.
She then found love again with Ethan Tenney. They wed and recently welcomed a baby boy. But now, she is opening up about her battle with trying to be perfect.
According to McKayla, she has tried to be perfect her whole life. She would grow out her hair and dye it to what she thought was the ideal hairstyle.
She would also do her makeup, wear certain clothes, and use popular skincare products. The TLC celeb did whatever she could to feel perfect. But she didn’t just stop there.
McKayla Adkins said she would obsess over her physical appearance. The Unexpected star focused on being skinny. However, a few years ago, her obsession with her looks made her make a permanent change.
She thought her nose wasn’t straight enough. So, she got a nose job. It was a procedure she thought she needed to make her feel that she “was pretty enough.”
McKayla’s Insecurities Creep Back In
McKayla Adkins loved her new nose. However, the feeling of not being pretty enough crept back into her mind. She found it confusing. She thought getting the surgery would fix her insecurities. But it was only a quick fix.
However, McKayla admits that when she spoke to her surgeon about getting a rhinoplasty, she couldn’t really say what she wanted to be fixed.
The Unexpected former cast member just felt it was something she had to do to make herself feel better. But now, when she looks at herself in the mirror, she doesn’t recognize herself. She is not happy with her appearance even more now.
McKayla feels “stupid” for thinking a nose job would “magically cure” her “deep-rooted insecurities.” The more she looked at old pictures of herself, the more she wished she had seen herself from an “outside perspective.”
She feels she should’ve believed her parents when they told her how beautiful she is. But she thought her parents were only being biased.
Unexpected Celeb Goes under the Knife Again
McKayla Adkins will be fixing her botched nose. She is getting a rhinoplasty revision next month. However, she is extremely nervous about the procedure. Her surgeon will be fixing a few things she doesn’t like. Yet, she is afraid that she won’t like the results.
McKayla hopes that by sharing her story, she can help someone who can relate to her not make the same mistakes. The Unexpected star tells people not to listen to the “stupid voice inside” their heads. She wants people to know that they are “made perfectly” the way they are.
