Teddy Melenkamp defends his neck lift: 'Would you rather lie?'

"Do you think I'll be open about my trip, or would you rather just pretend I'm not doing anything?" Mellencamp asked his followers on Instagram Story Monday.

The 40-year-old former Beverly Hills star took to her Instagram Story Monday to defend her decision to get a ride. "So I checked my DMs, did some work for Two Ts in a Pod, and someone messaged me. I want you to read it and tell me what you think," Mellencamp said.

The podcast host later shared a screenshot of an Instagram user's message: "You are a public figure trying to help women lose weight but still doing a facelift to remind those of us who have it "We're ugly, thank you." "I'm transparent about my journey," Melenkamp replied. "Would you rather I lie and pretend the loose skin on my neck is gone? I do not. You only want to follow people who come up through a filter version of themselves, so I'm not the one to follow."

And I am proud of it and will continue to share it and help others achieve their goals)." Mellencamp continued Dann. She asked his followers, "Do you think I'm open to my journey, or would you rather pretend you're doing nothing?"

This isn't the first time the Bravo celebrity has spoken openly about her cosmetic procedures.

On her 38th birthday in July 2019, Melenkamp wrote a lengthy Instagram post about her dramatic transition to weight loss and how the weight loss led to surgery. While the reality show star was met with praise in the comments section of her post, some fans asked her whether she was doing her job or not.

Mellencamp replied: "Not in my nose. To my father."

Then another fan asked: "Do you need a ride? I'm just curious about my weight loss. Do I feel the need to gain or rework?

Mellencamp later explained that she "didn't need to lift anything" but was "swollen after breastfeeding and lost weight, so they added a 210cc implant."
