Bristol Palin is leaving it all on the operating table — and hopefully for the very last time.

On Wednesday, January 25, the 32-year-old opened up to her Instagram followers and shared a personal photo of herself recovering from a breast reconstruction surgery she had the night before. Palin's wounds were secured in a compression bra with surgical drains attached that were being filled with fluid.
