Another user questioned, “Tammy girl why is [sic] your face have a bruise on it? You look great Tammy with your smile.” Then, a different follower said, "Its probably from getting teeth pulled. My whole face bruised when I got teeth pulled.” One user asked, “Are you OK? What happened to your chin?” Around the same time, Slaton confirmed what other fans had assumed by writing, “I had teeth pulled.”
On August 19, Slaton debuted her new teeth while appearing on the 'Creative Chaos' podcast. While having a conversation with host Hunter Ezell, Slaton candidly spoke about her teeth makeover and said, "They’re temporary still. They had to cement them in cause the glue wasn’t holding. My body was rejecting it. They had to pull teeth, and it’s a bridge. I’m still getting more done. It’s a process.” Elsewhere in the interview, Ezell asked Slaton how she deals with the hate she gets online. As per Parade magazine, Slaton quipped, "I find it absolutely repulsive the amount of people that would comment on those videos that you and I posted. 'When's she going to fix her teeth?' Do you not think she knows that?"

In addition to this, Slaton also confessed, "It's not easy," and she jokingly remarked, "Haters make me famous." Nearly four months ago, Slaton underwent life-changing skin removal surgery. During a private confessional on '1000-Lb Sisters,' Slaton stated that it will take a bit of time to get used to her new look. As per Nine Entertainment, Slaton said, "I'm shocked, I feel so weird. My bat wings are gone and I look down and there's nothing there but my lap now. It's going to take a while for me to get used to seeing myself like this."
