Katie Thurston has revealed she has undergone chin liposuction amid her ongoing breast cancer journey.
“After so many required medical surgeries, I decided to do one for myself,” the Bachelorette star, 35, wrote over an Instagram Story that showed her head wrapped in a compression bandage. “I’m all about transparency. Never had Botox. Never had filler. But today I did in fact have chin lipo.”
The image captured Thurston, who revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in February 2025, seated on a couch alongside her mixed-breed rescue dog, Charlie. The reality TV star had positioned herself cocooned in pillows as she held an iced beverage.
A subsequent Instagram Story offered fans a closer look of Charlie lying in his mom’s arms. “My healer,” she captioned the cozy snap before sharing a standalone text Instagram Story that read, “I’ll answer all your questions when I can, but for now, I’m down for the count.”
Weeks after Thurston publicly shared her diagnosis, she revealed that it was reclassified as stage 4 after the cancer had spread to her liver. Shunning chemotherapy for various treatments, including hormone-suppression shots and endocrine therapies, she revealed one year into her treatment plan that her breast tumor has shrunk by almost half its size.
Subsequent scans have shown that her liver did not show signs of cancer, but she did undergo a double mastectomy in April. Thurston told fans in June that she was taking a break from her ongoing medications in order to focus on her mental health.
Thurston’s husband, comedian Jeff Arcuri, spoke to Us exclusively last month about the couple’s plans to start a family after Thurston dedicated two weeks to starting IVF before her cancer treatments initially commenced. At the time, the pair successfully froze two variable embryos.
“It has so much more weight to it now because we have the presence of — not death, but something very dark happening — and then, on the other end of that, we’re talking about creating life. So there is a beauty to the contrast of that, I think, and I like to focus on that, on the positives, on what we’re going to be doing,” Arcuri, 38, said.
He added at the time that his wife would make an incredible mom one day. “She’s such a natural mama bear to everybody that she meets and I’m excited to see her be a mom. I’m incredibly excited for that,” he told Us.
