Jan. 27 2026, Published 9:00 p.m. ET
Jenny McCarthy's recent health crisis led to a significant drop in her weight. In a November 2025 interview, the former Playboy model revealed she underwent nine surgeries on her mouth due to a bad implant.
"I had one infection that turned into another and another, and then I had these growths show up on my eyeballs," she explained.
According to McCarthy, her symptoms worsened while she was trying to heal her swollen growths, leading to her teeth and implants falling out.
"They finally had to dig into my jawbone and found I had a deep bone infection," she said. "I've been on antibiotics for a year, and have had to eat soft foods only. Every time we thought it had cleared up, it came back again. I'd be in massive pain with my jaw swelling up."
McCarthy noted the health issue contributed to striking weight loss, making her noticeably slimmer than ever.
