«90 Day Fiancé» Star Chantel Everett Reveals Plastic Surgery Journey, Addresses Lifelong Insecurity
Chantel Everett, a prominent figure from «90 Day Fiancé» and «The Family Chantel,» has shared her decision to undergo plastic surgery, documenting the emotional journey on the latest season of «90 Day Diaries.» Everett’s storyline revolves around her lifelong struggle with insecurity stemming from a birthmark on her lower abdomen.
In a candid moment, Chantel revealed the birthmark, a dark-colored spot below her navel, admitting, «I’ve been hiding it my entire life.» She recounted a traumatic middle school experience where a classmate ridiculed her birthmark, leading her to conceal it with makeup for years.
Chantel’s insecurities extended into her adult relationships, impacting her intimacy with her ex-husband, Pedro Jimeno. Despite attempts to conceal the birthmark with peels, lasers, and creams, makeup remained her primary solution. However, Chantel decided to pursue surgical intervention to address the issue permanently.
The «90 Day Diaries» episode captured Chantel’s apprehension leading up to the procedure. She voiced doubts about the surgery’s necessity and expressed fear about the process. Her mother, Karen, attempted to reassure her, even finding the birthmark «cute.»
During her pre-op appointment, Chantel’s surgeon outlined the procedure, which involved excising the birthmark and performing liposuction to minimize scarring. The surgeon acknowledged the possibility of a small C-section-like scar remaining.
Despite her initial fears, Chantel’s surgery was successful. She expressed immense satisfaction with the results, stating, «I am so happy. Even though I’ve endured so much pain with the surgery, it’s 1,000 percent worth it for me.» The surgeon successfully removed the entire birthmark, marking a significant step in Chantel’s journey towards self-acceptance.
