Chloe Lukasiak Surgery Update: Former ‘Dance Moms’ Teen Doing Well Post-Surgery


Former Dance Moms star Chloe Lukasiak has had a whirlwind year of appearances, dance competitions, and even a sweet romance, but she’s now opening up about something far more serious that’s been happening behind the scenes. Chloe has been working with a team of doctors to determine the issue with her eye, and she’s just now opening up about exactly what’s been transpiring.

The teen hadn’t said anything about the situation publicly until now. As was previously reported by the Inquisitr, Chloe explained via a video this week that she has a rare condition called silent sinus syndrome. While some had been badgering the former Dance Moms teen about a “lazy eye,” what was actually happening was far more serious.

Though Lukasiak and her doctors tried an intervention a year ago that they hoped would resolve the issue with her eye, ultimately they decided surgery was necessary. Chloe had the surgery on Tuesday, and now she and her mom are sharing some brief updates.

Lukasiak shared a photo via Instagram showing her in her hospital room post-surgery. She’s got a patch on her right eye, she’s giving a thumbs-up, and she’s snuggling a Hello Kitty stuffed toy. She thanks her fans for their support, and it looks like so far she’s doing well.

Chloe’s mom, Christi Lukasiak, shared via Facebook that the former Dance Moms teen was “[s]wollen and bruised today but it’s all uphill from here! And Chloe’s in great spirits!”

Christi had also shared via social media that after surgery, Chloe was “doing very well and resting comfortably.” She added that her daughter “loves everyone (for real. She told everyone in the hospital)” and that she’d keep everybody updated.

In the video that Chloe shared ahead of the surgery, she got very emotional and detailed how brutal some people had been in teasing her about her eye. She made a reference to how hurtful one adult in particular was, and Dance Moms fans know that she’s referring to dance instructor Abby Lee Miller. The taunting she detailed was seemingly the final straw that pushed Chloe and Christi out the door in terms of the show.

Fans are thrilled to hear that Chloe, her family, and her medical team have figured out what was causing the issues with her eye, and it seems that they believe she will be able to fully recover. While fans miss her on Dance Moms, they keep up with all of her current gigs and only wish the best for her. Everybody hopes that Chloe Lukasiak’s surgery recovery continues to go well and that she’s back to dancing and doing events soon.
