Despite wanting to have her implants removed for awhile now, Teigen was hesitant to go through with the procedure because of the potential risks involved.

In a prior interview for Glamour U.K.'s 2020 Spring/Summer issue, she humorously admitted, \"When you have kids, you think about [the risks] of surgery and I think, 'This is not the way I want to die, in boob surgery.'\"

As for why she got breast implants in the first place, the mom of two admitted to the magazine, \"It was more for a swimsuit thing. I thought, if I’m going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky.\"

Teigen hilariously shouted out her implants' 10th anniversary on March 30.
