Amy Schumer opens up about liposuction in candid new Chelsea Handler interview

Amy Schumer — who recently revealed she underwent liposuction — says she felt it was important to share the news for one reason.

Amy Schumer undergoes surgery to have uterus removed

Amy Schumer is looking “Snatched.”

The comedian admitted she’s feeling “really good” after getting liposuction, a procedure she admitted she never thought she would undergo.

“When I would hear liposuction I was just like, that’s so crazy to me, and I would say that I’m not ever going to do anything,” she said on Chelsea Handler’s podcast, Dear Chelsea, on Thursday.

But after turning 40 and having a C-section, the actress had a change of heart, especially after struggling with endometriosis and undergoing surgery.

“I healed well, and I was like, can I get lipo? And I got lipo and I’m feeling really good,” Schumer said.

The Trainwreck actress is very aware of the impact that plastic surgery can have on young women, opening up about going under the knife on Instagram back in January.

“I feel good. Finally. It’s been a journey thanks for helping me get my strength back @seckinmd (endo) @jordanternermd (lipo),” she captioned two pictures of herself in a black bathing suit.

“Never thought I would do anything but talk to me after your uterus doesn’t contract for 2.5 years and you turn 40.”

Schumer has a two-year-old son with husband Chris Fischer.

The actress — who shares a 2-year-old son named Gene with husband Chris Fischer — tagged her two surgeons, one who performed the endometriosis surgery in which she had her uterus and appendix removed and the other who performed the liposuction procedure.

“I just wanted to say that, because if anybody sees me in pictures or anything and they’re like, she looks thinner, and whatever: it’s because I had a surgery,” she said to Handler, in her first time publicly talking about it.

“It’s too hard, and I just want to be real about it.”
