Megan Fox has shared that she’s had to overcome some serious fears — and superstitions — about plastic surgery, saying that if she’s going to get breast implants, then “I’d better wake up with the biggest boobs you can fit on my body.”
The Expend4bles The actress appeared on Wednesday’s episode of the podcast She called her dadand shared with host Alex Cooper the procedures he has—and hasn’t—done.
Fox, 37, said she had her first breast surgery when she was “21 or 22,” which was after she starred in the first Transformers film.
“I had them redone after I finished breastfeeding my kids,” she said of her second surgery.

As the American Society of Plastic Surgeons points out, “Pregnancy and breastfeeding can permanently change the way your breasts look and feel. It’s common to experience sagging, drooping, or a “deflated” appearance. Some women describe their breasts as pancake shaped.’
And that’s what Foxx said happened after she welcomed her three sons — Noah Shannon, 11, Bodhi Ransom, 10, and Journey River, 7 — whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, from whom she split in 2020 .
As Fox told Cooper, “I don’t know where [my breasts] they went, but they went.” And she shares that she then had to undergo a third procedure.
“I had to redo them very recently because in the first set, I didn’t have enough body fat to cover up the… implant ripple, so I had to change them in this set.”
But while she’s had three breast surgeries, Fox says she’s not a fan of the knife.

“I don’t like surgery. My body doesn’t react well to general anesthesia, so when I go in for surgery, it’s a big deal. All my doctors have to meet me before, and they have to tell me if they’ve seen any omens — if they saw owls, crows, if someone stepped on a spider, if there were dead insects — my doctors have to go through it with me, because I’m so scared should I die under general anesthesia? I don’t take surgery lightly. and therefore I had not much of it.’

That’s why she’s not afraid to ask for exactly what she wants when she goes for breast augmentation.
“It’s a very traumatic experience for me. I was like, ‘I better wake up with the biggest tits you can fit on my body,’ and that’s what she said she did,” Fox said.
“They’re not even that big, they’re 32Ds, which aren’t that big. They just look big on my body ’cause my body is tiny, but if, like, you could have gotten bigger, I’d have it bigger, because I don’t like surgery. The fact that I had to do it, I was saying, “I want a reward for the suffering I have to go through. I don’t want to wake up with a full B cup, there’s no point.’
I said, “I don’t care what’s trending. Give me 1990’s stripper ties, that’s what I want. And he did.”
Fox quipped that her fear of anesthesia is “probably a saving grace” because “God knows what I’d do” and earlier in the podcast joked that she’d never lifted her butt in Brazil.
“I would be so flattered if someone thought I had a BBL,” she said, saying that if she ever had one, she would tell her doctor “You’re going to give me an ass that looks like an anomaly. I’ll be walking through a park, and I’ll turn around, and everyone will be whispering and laughing and talking because they’re like, “What are we looking at? Like, circus freak.”
If I’m “going through this healing process,” she shared, “I’m not going to come out with an ‘Oh, has it been like she’s really been going to the gym lately?’ Extra occupancy?”
“No…we have to stop people in their tracks.”
