Chantel Everett of 90 Day Fiancé Announces Birthmark Removal Surgery
Chantel Everett, a familiar face from the popular reality TV series 90 Day Fiancé, has made headlines by revealing her decision to undergo plastic surgery aimed at removing a birthmark that she has hidden for many years. On her journey portrayed in 90 Day Diaries, she has opened up about how this birthmark has significantly affected her self-esteem and self-image.
Embracing Change: A Courageous Decision
In a teaser released for the upcoming episode of 90 Day Diaries on April 7, 2025, Chantel expressed her anticipation and excitement regarding the procedure:
“But now, in just a few days, I’m finally getting my birthmark removed by undergoing plastic surgery.”
This pivotal choice follows years of concealing the birthmark, compounded by her complicated emotional journey after her separation from Pedro Jimeno in November 2023.
Facing Insecurities: The Struggle to Conceal
Chantel’s birthmark, located beneath her navel, has been a source of discomfort since her adolescent years. She recalls a painful incident from middle school that led her to begin concealing the mark:
“I think I was in middle school, I think my shirt came up and a boy saw it, and he thought it was disgusting, he started making fun of me.”
This moment ignited a long-held practice of covering the birthmark with makeup, a routine that persisted throughout her adulthood:
“From that day forward, I would cover it up with makeup because I still wanted to show my stomach, but I was making sure that I would conceal it.”
Failed Attempts and Lingering Embarrassment
Despite various attempts to reduce the birthmark’s visibility, such as peels, lasers, and topical creams, Chantel found little success. Frustration and embarrassment continued to overshadow her confidence, preventing her from fully accepting herself.
Personal Relationships and Emotional Turmoil
Chantel candidly discussed how the birthmark affected her intimate relationships, particularly her marriage to Pedro Jimeno. One poignant memory stands out for her:
“The first night Pedro and I were ever intimate and he saw my body, he started to cry.”
This incident caused Chantel to question whether Pedro’s tears were indicative of his feelings about her appearance, further fueling her insecurities:
“In hindsight, I wonder if it was, he was going to be stuck with such an ugly body. That’s how I feel.”
Post-divorce, her emotional struggles intensified, making it increasingly difficult to balance vulnerability with maintaining a public persona:
“For the most part, I kept all of my trauma and insecurities around my birthmark close to me and I never explained it or shared it with anybody.”
A Fresh Start: Looking Ahead
As the date for her surgery approaches, Chantel expresses a mix of excitement and hope for a future free from the burdens of her past:
“It’s kind of exciting because this could be the last time that I do this ever, and that’s amazing.”
This step symbolizes more than just a physical transformation; it marks a new chapter in Chantel’s life, especially after her divorce. She has begun to explore new romantic relationships, including a connection with soccer player Giannis Varouxakis, showcased in 90 Day: The Single Life.
