by

Cardi B won’t be ring, ring, ring, ringing up her surgeon’s office after all.

After initially talking about getting another butt reduction, the rapper known as “Bodega Baddie” has decided against the surgery.

She explained to Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones on the March 24th episode of Today With Jenna & Sheinelle that she’d initially considered a small cosmetic procedure, but decided she didn’t have the time for it.

The Grammy-winning artist, who recently had a baby boy with Stefon Diggs and shares children Kulture (7), Wave (4), and Blossom (18 months) with her soon-to-be ex-husband Offset, is now focusing on self-acceptance and embracing her body, imperfections and all.

Cardi B, 33, says she’s happy with her body right now. She acknowledges she has cellulite – whether from aging or having four children, she’s not sure – but overall, she feels good about herself.

“I’m loving my imperfections and everything,” she continued, “and I feel really comfortable.”

Okay, so I’ve been following Cardi B closely, and this is HUGE. Remember how she got a butt reduction back in January? Well, get this – she’s now talking about wanting it smaller again! It’s like, she’s constantly refining her look, and honestly, I’m living for it. It’s a total shift from what she did just a few months ago, and I’m obsessed with seeing what she does next with her body. I’m seriously checking every source for updates!

After her current tour ends, she plans to completely disconnect and relax. She revealed backstage at a February concert in Los Angeles, on the Big Boy’s Neighborhood radio show, that she’s going to Colombia and doesn’t want to be contacted by anyone for three months – she just wants to get away from it all!

Oh my gosh, months ago, she already warned us how long and hard recovery would be! She totally laid it all out – it wasn’t going to be a quick fix, and she wanted everyone to know exactly what she was going through. I was paying attention, of course, because I follow everything she does!

She explained on the Call Her Daddy podcast that her previous butt reduction surgery was extremely invasive, requiring her to be cut from both the top and bottom and spend three months recovering in bed. Because of this, she’s decided against having the procedure again, stating she’s accepted her body as it is and won’t risk such a recovery just to please others.

Cardi B isn’t alone – many celebrities have openly discussed getting plastic surgery. Read on to discover more stars who have shared their experiences with cosmetic procedures.

After her divorce from Brennon Lemieux, the Love Is Blind season three star revealed she had breast augmentation surgery.

In a TikTok video posted in January 2026, she announced she was feeling almost back to normal five days after surgery. She had a breast lift and implant, and was surprised by how easy the recovery process has been. She explained she’d wanted the surgery for a long time, especially since finishing breastfeeding, as her breasts hadn’t regained their previous shape.

 

The actress from Uncut Gems has admitted she occasionally regrets getting cosmetic procedures like liposuction, a nose job, veneers, and Botox/fillers.

In an interview with Allure in August 2025, she shared a longing for the innocence of youth. She explained that she sometimes wishes she could experience life again before feeling pressured to meet societal expectations of beauty, admitting she once believed her worth and even survival depended on attracting men.

She acknowledged she might get around to it eventually, but it wasn’t a priority for her at the moment.

Okay, so you will NOT believe this! Kenya Moore – Kenya Moore! – actually got her under-eye filler dissolved on TV! Apparently, she got it done right after her 18th birthday and regretted it, and she let the Botched guys fix it on their new show, Plastic Surgery Rewind. I was watching the whole time, of course, and it was SO satisfying to see her reverse it. I’ve been following her journey forever, and this was a huge moment!

During the July 2025 episode, the reality star shared that her skin felt firmer and she felt more youthful, beautiful, and confident than she ever had before.

As a huge fan, I was absolutely stunned when I saw the latest episode of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind!

As someone who’s followed beauty and wellness trends for years, I’ve always admired celebrities who are open about their journeys. Recently, I was listening to Sophia Bush’s Whine Down podcast, and she was incredibly candid about some procedures she’s had – things like Botox and breast implants. She even shared one regret she has about getting her breast implants, which I think is really relatable – it’s so important to be honest about all aspects of these decisions!

Jana says her biggest regret about getting breast augmentation is wondering if she did it for herself, and not to please others. She strongly advises anyone considering the procedure to make sure it’s entirely for their own reasons.

In a September 2024 video for Vanity Fair, the actress from Wicked revealed she used to get fillers and Botox, but she stopped about four years ago, and that was all.

The former Teen Mom 2 star, who has seven children, had a Brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck in 2016. She then had another tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast reduction in December 2024.

A month later, she spoke candidly about wrestling with her body image.

She expressed her hope on Instagram that her children would never feel so insecure about their bodies that they’d resort to extreme measures to lose weight.

She added that she says this with full respect for anyone facing such challenges.

Part of the price of beauty for the “Who Says” singer: The occasional dabble with Botox.

Okay, so I had to share what she finally revealed! She posted on Instagram in July 2024, and she basically confirmed some things! She gets a little bit of Botox – she calls it ‘tox’ – in her elevens, around her eyebrows, and on her neck. She actually had her neck done with someone called @theneckdoctor way back in 2019! She’s admitted to tiny amounts of lip filler because she says her face is too small for much, and a little in her chin. But she swears she hasn’t had filler anywhere else, and definitely no eyelid surgery yet! She said she’d keep us updated if she gets anything else done, and honestly, I’m glued to her page!

I wanted to share something personal with everyone. I recently had a lower facelift and a few other little procedures done. I also had a fat transfer to my hands – honestly, I’ve always been self-conscious about them. The most difficult part, and surprisingly the most painful, was actually the liposuction on my leg to get the fat for my hands! I never expected that to be the worst of it.

She recently addressed having cosmetic work done to reduce the appearance of fat under her chin, which she jokingly referred to as a family trait – a ‘turkey gobbler.’ Speaking on her ‘When Reality Hits’ podcast in March 2024, she explained that despite her efforts to lose weight and deal with personal challenges, she always felt self-conscious about it.

She basically admitted she got a boob job after the breakup – she called them ‘additions,’ which is just…so Lily! It’s like she was reclaiming herself, you know? I’ve been following her forever, and this feels like a total power move. I’m living for it!

She described going to a Chicago strip mall for these procedures, despite friends telling her it was a bad idea. She admitted she wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, often smoking and drinking before getting fillers like Juvéderm.

She explained that she’d stopped getting injections. Before filming the music video for ‘Applause,’ a friend who is a photographer had warned her, ‘Gaga, I love you, but if you don’t stop with the injections, I’m worried about your health.’

The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

During an appearance on The Talk in 2013, the show’s co-host shared that she had plastic surgery early in her career to make her eyes appear larger.

Once I finished, things started to go my way,” she explained. “But I couldn’t help but wonder if I had simply given the man what he wanted.

I own all of my past choices, and they’ve led me to where I am now. I’m not dwelling on the past.

In a 2002 interview with The Telegraph, the actress admitted to having some cosmetic procedures – a little plastic surgery, liposuction, and Botox. But she was surprisingly candid, saying that none of it actually made a difference.

She said she finally got a full night’s sleep for the first time in years. Regarding other gossip, she confirmed that everything people were talking about was, in fact, still hers – all of it.

In 2010, the reality TV star from The Real Housewives of Atlanta publicly shared that she had undergone cosmetic surgery, including a nose job, a breast lift, and liposuction.

The Beverly Hills housewife got silicone lip injections when she was 24 years old. Later, in 2010, she had some of the filler taken out.

Oh my gosh, it’s just amazing to me how huge this whole lip thing has become! Seriously, so many girls are getting their lips done now, and it makes me feel like I really started something. I remember being on Today back in 2013 and telling everyone I was one of the very first to be open about it, and I totally would do it all over again! It’s crazy, but my lips actually launched my career – I didn’t really have a career before them, you know? They’ve had a life of their own!

I remember when Heidi Montag had that incredible makeover back in 2009! She was only 23, and she seriously transformed her whole look in a single day – ten procedures! It wasn’t just the usual things either, like Botox and a nose job. She also had chin work done and even got fat injections to plump up her lips. It was a lot all at once, but she really wanted to change her appearance.
