Megan Fox shared that she had to overcome some serious fears — and supersтιтions — around plastic surgery, saying that if she’s going to go through getting breast implants, then “I better wake up with the biggest boobs you can fit in my body.”
The Expend4bles actress appeared on Wednesday’s episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy, and shared with host Alex Cooper the procedures she has — and hasn’t — had done.
Fox, 37, said that she had her first breast surgery when she was “21 or 22” which was after she starred in the first Transformers film.
“I had them redone after I was done breastfeeding my kids,” she said of her second procedure.
As the American Society of Plastic Surgeons points out, “Pregnancy and breastfeeding can permanently change how your breasts look and feel. It is common to experience sagging, drooping or a ‘deflated’ appearance. Some women describe their breasts as pancake-shaped.’”
And that’s what Fox said happened after welcoming her three sons — Noah Shannon, 11, Bodhi Ransom, 10, and Journey River, 7 — whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, from whom she split in 2020.
As Fox told Cooper, “I don’t know where [my breasts] went, but they went.” And she shares that afterwards, she had to undergo a third procedure.
“I had to have them redone very recently, because the first set, I didn’t have enough body fat to disguise … the rippling of the implant, so I had to switch them out to this set.”
But while she’s had three breast surgeries, Fox says she isn’t a fan of going under the knife.“I don’t like surgery. My body does not react well to general anesthesia, and so when I go to have a surgery, it’s a very big deal. I have my all my doctors have to meet with me before, and have to tell me if they’ve seen any omens — if they saw any owls, crows, if anyone stepped on a spider, if there were any ᴅᴇᴀᴅ insects — my doctors have to go through this with me, because I’m very afraid of dying under general anesthesia. I don’t take surgery lightly. and therefore I have not had many of them.”
It’s why she’s not afraid to ask for exactly what she wants when she does go in for breast augmentation.
“It’s a very traumatizing experience for me. I was like, ‘I better wake up with the biggest boobs you can fit in my body’ and that is what he said he did,” Fox said.
“They’re not even that big, They’re a 32D, which is not that big. They just look big on my body ‘cause my body’s tiny, but if, like, you could have gone bigger I would have had him go bigger, because I don’t like surgery. The fact that I had to do it, I was like, ‘I want a reward for the suffering I have to go through. I don’t want to wake up with a full B cup, there’s no f—ing point.”
“I said, ‘I don’t care what’s on-trend. Give me 1990 stripper t—ties, that’s what I want. And he did it.”
Fox quipped that her fear of anesthesia is “probably a saving grace” because “God knows what I would have been up to,” and earlier in the podcast, joked about why she’s never had a Brazilian ʙuтт lift.
“I would be so flattered if somebody thought I had a BBL,” she said, saying that if she were to ever have one, she would tell her doctor “You’re going to give me an ᴀss that’s like an anomaly. I’m gonna walk through a park, and I’m going to turn around, and everyone is going to be whispering and laughing and talking because they’re like, ‘What what are we looking at? Like, circus freak.’”
If “I’m going through that healing process,” she shared, “I’m not coming out with, like, a ‘Oh, she been has she been like really hitting the gym lately? Extra squats?’”
“No…it’s got to stop people in their tracks.”
