Hunter Schafer Reveals She Had Bottom Surgery Last Year

Hunter Schafer I Had Bottom Surgery!!! Published October 19, 2026 11:45 AM PDT Hunter Schafer underwent a major gender-affirming procedure not too long ago ... revealing she had bottom surgery last year. She told Elle ... "I just had bottom surgery in December, which was amazing, and I love it so much." If you're unfamiliar, bottom surgery is an operation to change a person's genitals -- often through removal and/or reconstruction -- to better align with their gender identity. The actress told the mag she "wanted to try to make that previous body work" because she thought the "gender-expansive" part of herself was "really cool and badass." But ultimately, she decided that -- while every trans person's wants and needs are different -- medically transitioning was the right move for her. Hunter described a bit of the recovery period, noting she was forced to lie down a lot because her step count was severely limited. She said ... "I think my limit was 150 steps per day, which is nothing." Related articles Hunter Schafer Celebrity News LGBT TV Stars Models Celebrity Health
