Blac Chyna Gives Update On Breast & Butt Reduction, Warns Fans Against Silicone Butt Shots

by

To begin her week yesterday (March 13), Blac Chyna got particularly vulnerable with her Instagram followers in a video upload. The mother of two explained that, as a result of the healing journey she’s on, she feels called to embrace a more natural lifestyle. To begin, she’s reducing both her breast implants and butt injections, and using her platform to educate others on the potential risks that come along with plastic surgery.

“A BBL is when they use your own fat,” the former OnlyFans star explained in Monday’s upload. “Ass shots is silicone. I just want all the ladies out there to know, do not get silicone shots. You can get sick, you can die, have complications, and all this other crazy stuff.” On Tuesday (March 14), Chyna returned with a two-part update on how her procedures went, as well as information straight from her trusted surgeon of ten years.

Blac Chyna is Making Changes

“I am a little bit concerned,” she admitted on her way to the doctor’s office earlier today. “Obviously I’m really concerned, honestly, because I really wanna know what he has to say about the silicone that was in my butt. I’m so curious to see now, how much he took out and what [were] the complications,” Chyna continued to vent. She then shared stories of others who have had negative reactions to plastic surgery, including having to have their gluteus maximus removed because of unforeseen issues.

While in the waiting room, the 34-year-old asked an employee at the clinic to explain the dangers of silicone injections, which he happily did. “When you inject silicone into your body, it starts to create scar tissue to protect [you]. The liquid becomes balls, like boba balls, so when you start sitting down, sometimes you get pain,” he told the camera. “As more scar tissue builds, you create what’s called a granuloma, and that’s bad for you because it can cause cancer.” Aside from that insightful explanation, Blac Chyna also recorded a lengthy conversation with her doctor who was forthright about the dangers of silicone injections. Hear what he had to say in the video below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Blac Chyna’s Breast & Butt Reduction: Model Shares Experience With Fans

by

For those not born into fame and riches, like the infamous “nepo babies” of our time, coming into money after living a relatively normal life can result in some drastic decisions. Many opt to immediately alter their appearance, using their newfound income to transform any insecurities that may have held them back before. Some try out facial procedures like Botox and lip fillers, while others go the BBL route, moving unwanted fat from one area of their body and relocating it to other, more desirable regions. Blac Chyna is one such star who’s undergone cosmetic work in the past, though she’s now opening up about her recent decision to reduce both her breasts and butt.

The mother of two has always been open and honest about her history of going under the knife. In 2019, she spoke with Wendy Williams on her talk show about the subject, revealing, “I’ve had lip before. I’ve had my breasts done four times.” While most of those operations were to see an increase in Chyna’s bust size, one was actually a reduction after realizing she had gone too far. “I was like, ‘This is just too much,” she explained at the time.

The work on Chyna’s behind took place after she gave birth to her second child, Dream Kardashian. “I went and got something done. I got lipo because after I had Dream, it was like, out of control. So I had some of it taken out,” the reality star told Williams. In the time since then, it seems that Angela White has begun something of a healing journey, leading her to once again reduce the size of her breasts and butt.

On Monday (March 13), her Instagram feed lit up with a vulnerable video that finds her in a doctor’s office ahead of an appointment. “As y’all know, I’ve been changing my life and changing my ways,” Chyna told her followers in the clip. “So, one of the things I think is gonna take me to the next level is, obviously, taking some of these ass shots out,” she added before reminding the world that butt injections and a BBL are two very different things.

Journey to Healing

“A BBL is when they use your own fat,” Chyna noted. “Ass shots is silicone. I just want all the ladies out there to know, do not get silicone shots. You can get sick, you can die, have complications, and all this other crazy stuff.” While she herself hasn’t had any issues with her own injections, the 34-year-old doesn’t recommend them to others. “I got [mine] when I was 19 years old, but now I’m moving [up] in life, so I want this shit out of my ass so I can grow.”

In her caption, Blac Chyna wrote, “I want you all to be a part of my life-changing journey. I reduced my breast and gluteus maximus. ‘You all have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that.’” Elsewhere in the news, the socialite recently dished about her decision to delete her OnlyFans account.

SZA’s BBL Sparks Serious Debate On Twitter

by

They certainly don’t owe fans every detail of their personal lives. Still, more and more celebrities are being candid about their decision to go under the knife. There’s been a major rise in procedures like Brazilian Butt Lifts and breast augmentations as of late. A few, in particular, are causing a stir on social media. On her SOS album, SZA previously confirmed that she had her body done. In the months since, the internet hasn’t held back on sharing their opinions.

Initially, the “Normal Girl” hitmaker’s accentuated figure earned her endless compliments. Many have pointed out that her curves look different from the standard BBL that most girls get. However, there are also those who think she may have taken things too far with the cosmetic work.

“Please don’t come for me but I don’t like SZA’s BBL,” one Twitter user recently wrote. “I think she [looked] wayyyy better before.” All across the app, others are markedly joining in on the conversation regarding the TDE artist’s body. “I wanna support y’all calling SZA bad but I can’t look past BBLs and plastic surgery,” another person chimed in.

Along with the tweets, some have been sharing throwback photos of the R&B vocalist before she came up and was able to afford her dream body. “We not UGLY, just BROKE,” one troll teased while posting an older image of SZA smiling and rocking her natural hair. In response to this, others have been calling out the haters for comparing the Missouri native’s old pictures to her new ones.

“Y’all envy her so much and get jealous whenever someone compliments her looks to the point where y’all dig up old photos to try to make it seem like [there] was a drastic change in her appearance,” one Twitter account holder ranted. “All she did was get a bomb ass makeup artist and started taking care of herself.”

Madonna Checks Critics, Calls Out “Ageism” After Grammys

by

Grammy weekend was a movie for Madonna, who always knows how to get people talking. The music icon is getting ready to embark on a worldwide tour, but it’s just light work for the 64-year-old singer. She stopped by the Grammys last weekend to reunite with a few of her famous friends—and to introduce one of the most controversial performances of the evening.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras delivered their smash hit “Unholy,” and Madonna prefaced their performance. However, audiences were more interested in Madonna’s appearance. Soon, social media was taken over with comments about her face and conversations about cosmetic surgery.

Following the chatter, Madonna returned to Instagram to show off her Grammy celebrations. She was joined by several celebrities, including Ab-Soul. In the caption to her post, she addressed the “ageism” she’s experienced. She called it an “honor” to introduce Smith and Petras while calling out her critics.

“Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim,” Madonna began. “Many people chose to only talk about Close-up photos of me.” She added, “Taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that Would distort anyone’s face!! Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45. And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous.”

She continued: “I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start. I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.

Madonna then quoted Beyoncé: “You-won’t break my soul” and “Bow down b*tches!” Check out her post in its entirety above.

Cosmetic Surgery Trends & Predictions for 2023

by
Cosmetic OB Article RWK

Aesthetic medicine saw over 30 million surgical and non-surgical procedures carried out in 2021, a jump of 19.3% from the previous year. A telltale sign of the trending global surge in body modification.

Between 2017 and 2021, the total number of surgical procedures rose by over 33% and non-surgical procedures grew by more than 54% simultaneously, reported the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). Their annual survey further suggests that the cosmetic surgery industry has both recovered from a two year Covid-induced lull and stretched far beyond pre-pandemic levels. 

ISAPS represents over 5,600 doctors in 117 countries. The latest survey findings are based around data collected from over 1,000 cosmetic surgeons. The report exclusively included procedures carried out by certified physicians.

Previously, breast augmentations were the most common cosmetic surgery. In fact, in the last four years, 2017 to 2021, the number of breast augmentations increased marginally, by 0.5%. However, the ISAPS’ report editor, Dr. Gianluca Campiglio, identified a relative decline when compared to other procedures. He linked this trend to concern over BIA-ALCL, a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma– a cancer of the immune system.

Campiglio also works as a plastic surgeon based in Italy and further noticed a steep incline in the amount of patients seeking to remove their breast implants despite the procedures’ 50% global increase in the past four years.

“The lower increase in breast augmentation, and related increase in implant removals … reflects our experience following publication of reports on BIA-ALCL in the preceding year,” said Campiliogio in a press release.

On the flip side, liposuction has seen wider growth with more that 1.9 million global liposuction procedures being carried out–  a jump of almost 25% from the preceding year. Other popular procedures that saw an increase are rhinoplasty and abdominoplasty (informally known as  nose jobs and tummy tucks), eyelid surgery, thigh lifts (up 53% from 2020), and overall use of hyaluronic acid as facial filler. 

The ISAPS reported that an estimated 396,105 people had buttock augmentation surgery in 2020. 

Reflecting a 19.3% increase from 2016 that sparked stricter safety regulations for the survey. A figure incontestably related to the rising social shifts that deem curvaceous bosoms the most desired body shape. While many believe the trend is actually a fad, or at least diminishing in popularity, numbers show it has been one of the fastest growing. 

While many patients travel overseas for cheaper cosmetic surgery costs– most commonly to Turkey, Colombia, Mexico and Thailand– The USA has the most cosmetic surgeons in the world. The nearly 7,000 surgeons in the field accounted for almost a quarter of the procedures carried out worldwide.

Cardi B Fired Back At Plastic Surgery Haters: ‘I Like Being Perfect’

by

Cardi B looks different now than she did years ago, and that’s thanks in part to plastic surgery. Cardi doesn’t shy away from discussing the work she’s had done, and the topic came up again on the recent debut episode of The Jason Lee Show. During the chat, she shared her thoughts about critics who say she and others go under the knife because they’re “insecure.”

Explaining why she’s been relatively absent from the public eye after having her latest baby, Cardi said, “I didn’t wanna pop out after I had my son, because I told you I wanted to get my body done first. And it’s like… a lot of people thought that when I gave birth, I automatically went to do surgery. No: I literally waited like seven months to do surgery, because you have to.”

Then she was asked about the recent work she’s had done and she replied:

“I always wanted to do certain things. You know, like, a lot of people… and that’s the thing, the tricky thing about a lot of people, right? People be assuming that when you do surgery or something, you’re insecure about yourself or you hate yourself, and that’s just not the truth. I just be feeling like, if I wanna correct something, I want to do a little something-something, I don’t give a f*ck: I’m gonna do it. I like being perfect, I like a certain type of body for myself, and if I want to do it, I do it.”

Lee also brought up a time he and Cardi were at Kris Jenner’s house and Kim Kardashian gave Cardi some plastic surgeon recommendations. Cardi noted that she did call a couple of those doctors.

Check out the full interview above. The plastic surgery talk begins at 2:55 into the video.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Queen Naija Regrets “Adding Fat To Her Butt,” Says She’s Scared Of A Reduction

by

Whether they admit it or not, when many people come into money, one of the first things they do is make cosmetic alterations to their appearance. From buccal fat removal to BBLs, the changes one can make are endless – though not all of them end up being worthwhile. In Queen Naija’s case, she went under the knife to fix a few insecurities and came out of the procedure with even more.

Recently, the R&B songstress was asked about her regrets. After a long pause, she admits, “I’m scared to say this” before hesitating again. Finally, she reveals that having fat added to her butt is one thing she wouldn’t do again.

“You wish you never did it?” a male voice in the video asks Naija. “Like not as much,” the 27-year-old explains. “I didn’t think it was gonna do that much, should’ve just gotten like the tummy tuck and some shots.”

In the comment section, several users were quick to point out the recurring narrative that BBLs are going out of style. Additionally, other mentioned that if it bothers her significantly, she can always get a removal down the road. However, according to the vocalist, the thought of another surgery is enough for her to live with her regrets.

“I hated my hip dips and c-section belly,” she wrote in the comments of @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “Now I dislike how all my weight gain goes to my booty and hips. Either way, I disliked something.”

She went on, “Can’t be perfect y’all [shrug emoji]. I would get it reduced but the risk of getting put to sleep again is scary.”

Naija’s confession earned plenty of supportive responses, with many users telling her that regular workouts should help solve her problem.

The Clermont Twins Thirst Trap On Twitter, Shannon Labels Them “Surgery Besties”

by

The infamous Clermont twins first rose to fame on season 14 of Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club series. At the time, both Shannade and Shannon were known for their over-the-top attitudes, as well as the hypersexualization of their bodies. As Hello Beautiful notes, they frequently wore sheer blouses without bras or minimal clothing during filming.

After their stint on the show, the reality stars seemingly fell off the face of the Earth. However, they resurfaced sometime later, having undergone several cosmetic procedures to alter their appearances. By the time Kanye West cast them in his Yeezy Szn 6 campaign, their careers really began to take off.

As their platforms continued to skyrocket, the newfound fame came with its share of trouble. Unfortunately, Shannade was arrested in 2018 after racking up thousands of dollars on a dead man’s credit card.

A report from The Blast says that the internet star took the information “of a man she had visited for a prostitution date and who was found dead in his apartment the next morning from a drug overdose.” His money went towards her rent, phone bills, and luxury clothing.

Ultimately, she spent one year in prison as a result. After serving her time, though, the Clermont twins look to be back and better than ever – if their latest thirst traps are any indication, that is.

Earlier this month, Shannon shared two sultry photos on her personal Twitter feed. One image sees the sisters holding their breasts as they show off their sculpted hourglass figures from the front.

In the second, they turn around to tease their bodacious behinds and long blonde hair. “Treacherous twins,” she wrote at the time.

More recently, Shannon posted a message about her sister being her “surgery bestie,” leaving some to speculate that they could be going under the knife once again.

Check out the Clermon twin’s sultry December thirst traps below. Afterward, let us know if you’re team BBL or natural body in the comments.
