'Worst Pain' Of My Life: Bristol Palin Flaunts Her 'Tummy Tuck' Scars On The 'Gram, Encourages Followers Not To 'Compare Ourselves'
Former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, got candid on social media, flaunting her toned physique as she lifted up her shirt to reveal scars from a "tummy tuck" she claims she got years ago.
"Let’s get reeeel for a sec,” the 30-year-old wrote in a video reel. "I post what I want y’all to see. From decent angles… and not from insecurities/scars," she added.
"Here’s something I don’t share," she continued, as she zoomed in to reveal her scars on her stomach. "Way [too] easy to compare ourselves on here, just a reminder not to," she captioned the clip on Wednesday, May 26, posing in front of a mirror.
The Teen Mom OG alum ended her inspirational post, encouraging her followers to embrace their flaws and be authentically themselves no matter what on social media.

“Comparison can be the thief of all joy— don’t let this place have you comparing your own worth and stealing your joy,” she concluded.
Fans of the brunette beauty showered her with praise for her bravery in sharing her story. "I wish more women would be honest about what they have gone through to 'have the look!' So many are grinding and don’t understand what they continue to compare themselves to was a different kind of work! Thanks for keeping it real! ❤️🔥😍," one user wrote, while another simply stated: "Thank you for being honest!"
Palin went on to answer fan questions about her plastic surgery journey in an Instagram Q&A, as noted by E! News, before it expired, revealing her tummy tuck was done by the "incredible" Dr. Rose in Texas. “It was done in early 2018,” she said, adding: "I don’t regret it. But recovery was [without a doubt] the worst pain in my entire life."
The former reality star is mom to daughter Atlee, 4, and Sailor, 5, whom she shares with ex-husband Dakota Meyers, and son Tripp, 12, whom she shares with ex Playgirl model Levi Johnston.
