Jessie James Decker is opening up about her decision to remove her breast implants.
“I’ve officially locked in the date and made the decision to take out my VERY large breast implants,” Decker, 38, wrote via Instagram on Friday, August 21. “I know I’ve been talking about this for probably six months, but I’m finally setting things into motion!”
The country singer underwent a breast augmentation in 2021 before ultimately deciding to get the implants taken out.
“Ultimately, I would love to explant altogether, but I know myself, and realistically I’m not sure I’m totally ready for that yet,” Decker said, referring to the surgery to remove implants. “I’ve had such large ones for so long I don’t know what I have underneath it all. What I think I’m ready for is what they’re calling juicy ballerina boobies!?”
Decker credited her recent and ongoing “fitness journey” with inspiring her decision.
“I’ve been on such a fitness journey with y’all and my @jjdfitclub getting stronger and more confident than ever,” she wrote of her eponymous training program. “I’m not stopping and I don’t want anything holding me back. This strong girl era has really helped me feel more connected to my body and what feels right for me. I just don’t feel like these big implants fit who I am anymore.”
Decker, a mom of four, explained how welcoming son Denver in 2024 “really kickstarted” her “less is more chapter.” (In addition to Denver, Jessie and husband Eric Decker share daughter Vivianne, 12, and sons Eric Jr., 10, and Forrest, 8.)
“I want less maintenance in my life and I’m embracing my natural girl era,” she continued. “Maybe it’s getting closer to 40, but I’ve reached this place where I want to feel the most like myself. Having a daughter has made me think about it even more. I never want her to feel like she has to do all this upkeep to feel beautiful.”
Jessie further noted via her Instagram Stories on Friday that she was “undecided” about whether to have explant surgery or instead “downsize” her implants.
“What has been decided is that I don’t want them in my way anymore,” she stated.
Jessie launched her JJD Fit Club app in June.
“I know how easy it is to keep putting yourself on the back burner. To say ‘I’ll start when things calm down’ or ‘I’ll start when I have more time,’” Jessie wrote via Instagram earlier this month, promoting her fitness program. “I didn’t wake up one day and magically become the strongest version of myself. This has been YEARS of showing up, starting again, pushing through different seasons of life, having babies, having hard days, having moments I didn’t feel like doing it … and STILL choosing to keep going!!!!”
