SZA Reveals Why She Got Her Breast Implants Removed

SZA may have some buyer's remorse after a major surgery.

The “Kill Bill” singer recently reflected on her decision to get Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery after working out didn’t provide the backside she had hoped for.

“I’m so mad I did that s--t,” she told British Vogue in an interview published Nov. 14. “I gained all this weight from being immobile while recovering and trying to preserve the fat. It was just so stupid.”

But despite some reservations about the surgery, SZA (real name Solána Imani Rowe) is learning from her decision.

“But who gives a f--k?” she continued. “You got a BBL, you realize you didn’t need the s--t. It doesn’t matter. I’ll do a whole bunch more s--t just like it if I want to before I’m f--king dead because this body is temporary. It just wasn’t super necessary.”

And although she may not have needed the BBL—which is a surgical procedure that transfers fat from parts of the body like the hips, lower back or thighs to the buttocks to increase the size and shape of it, according to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery—the “Saturn” singer is embracing her backside. 

“I love my butt, don’t get me wrong,” she explained. “My booty look nice. And I’m grateful that it looks pretty much… I don’t know, sometimes natural, but I don’t even care. It’s something that I wanted. I’m enjoying it. I love shaking it.”

But the 35-year-old—who has also been candid about getting, and eventually removing, her breast implants—eventually got to what may be the root of her regret: her lack of focus on her overall wellness.

“I have other s--t that I need to work on about myself,” SZA said. “I need to get my f--king mental health together. Not to say you can’t do those things simultaneously, just, for me, I realize wherever you go, there you’ll be.”

Caroline Stanbury

The Real Housewives of Dubai star publicly documented her November 2023 face lift and the recovery on social media.

"I wanted people to see how, when you come out, the scars and the cuts and what it really looks like," she exclusively told E! News of the procedure. "I literally looked like I'd been in a car crash and the car had won, but five days later you're presentable. Ten days later I was in a restaurant completely fine."

As for why the Bravo star was so open about her face lift journey? As she noted, "Being on a reality TV show, obviously it's going to look weird if I come back next season looking 10 years younger, which I do, obviously."

"I'm bravely sharing that I had a lower facelift and a couple other minor tweaks," Jill said in a June 4 Instagram video, with a black bandage wrapped around her head. "I had a fat transplant put into my hands because I hated my hands, and the worst part was the lipo coming out of my leg to fill my hands. Believe it or not, that's the most pain I've had."

The 60-year-old promised that she'll post side-by-side photos of her transformation once she heals, adding, "I just want to share my story and my journey."

"I've never had any work-work done, but I went through a phase when I was smoking pot when I was really obsessed with getting facial injections," the "Born This Way" singer told radio host Howard Stern in 2013. "I was going to this strip mall in Chicago in the back…Everybody was like, 'You are a nut job.'...I'm telling you, I wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind, and I would smoke a bunch of joints and have some drinks and I would be like, 'Oh, let's go see my girl' and we would drive to this strip mall and I would get shot up with a bunch of whatever, Juvéderm, and then leave."

She continued, "Now all the stuff is gone. Before I shot the 'Applause' video, [a photographer friend] was like, 'Gaga, I love you but if you don't stop injecting s--t in your face I'm going to just kill you.'"

"I really, genuinely care about looking good," the SKKN founder told Allure for its August 2022 issue. "I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It's not easy when you're a mom and you're exhausted at the end of the day or you're in school, and I'm all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone's in bed, I'm doing laser treatments."

Kim revealed she's also gotten "a little bit of Botox," but hasn't dabbled with filler on her lips or cheeks, revealing, "No filler. Never filled either one, ever."

During an Instagram Stories Q&A on Aug. 23, the reality TV star didn't shy away from answering a fan's question about her boobs. "Gonna keep it real with y'all," Kristin began her response. "Got a lift after breast feeding all 3 kids."

While The Hills alum isn't opposed to cosmetic procedures, she admitted she's "never done" Botox.

"It's not for me. But I've seen it look amazing on some people," she wrote. "My concern is that we don't know the long term effects of it (and I don't mean 5-10 years, I mean like 20 years) and I think your face is muscle, so we need to work it out the same way we would any other muscle."

When asked if she's thought about going under the knife, she replied, "That would be the one thing that I would probably put off for the very last thing. The technology now for lifting, sculpting, tightening, is incredible. And there's a machine for anything. I just got a microcurrent thing for your neck, it was called Forma and it's like a total package facial."
