Blac Chyna recently announcing she was removing her implants from her breasts and butt is sparking a wide conversation on social media as fans are beginning to notice more and more celebrities ditching plastic surgery for a natural appearance. The craze for Brazilian buttlifts, fillers, and other cosmetic enhancements has captivated the attention of many of their impressionable fans for the past decade — most of whom don’t have access to world-renowned surgeons, so they settle to get their procedure done on the black market.
But as noted by the likes of Chyna and even K. Michelle, who underwent 13 operations to remove her botched silicone butt injections, surgeries can sometimes lead to complications and life-threatening consequences that often seem to be overlooked all for the sake of having an hourglass-shaped figure. Plastic surgery in this day and age has become the norm for many, and while there’s nothing wrong with enhancing your features, many celebrities are starting to regret their past work under the knife — and that list is gradually increasing.

Those who have already come forward about their cosmetic work and why they reverted back to their natural self could potentially help bring a much-needed change in today’s society for us all to be reminded to embrace our unique features.
Khloe Kardashian
While Khloe Kardashian is rumored to have had several procedures done to both her face and body, in a 2016 episode of her now-defunct talk show “Kocktails With Khloe,” the TV personality admitted that she had to get her fillers dissolved in her face because she didn’t achieve the results she was hoping for. “It did not work for me. I looked crazy, and I still think the effects are in there – I went to have it all dissolved like three times,” she said.
K. Michelle
K. Michelle has made it no secret in the past that her butt injections were done by a surgeon on the black market, who usually isn’t licensed and often use a material that can cause the body tremendous harm.
It took years for the “Can’t Raise A Man” singer to reverse the silicone injections from her backside, telling People back in 2018 how she was influenced to do the surgery after hearing that her favorite rapper did it too. “He wasn’t a doctor — it was black market, it was these ‘hydrogel’ injections — that’s what they were being called,” she explained to the publication.
Blac Chyna
Chyna surprised her fans in an Instagram post where she revealed she had grown tired of her implants and wanted to “grow” as a person. The socialite candidly admitted that while she had never experienced any problems from her injections, which she received at the age of 19, being a mom of two and getting older made the Lashed Cosmetics founder question her surgical work.
“I’m past that stage,” Chyna expressed in her video. “Been there, done that. This is actually my fifth time, hopefully my last time, getting my breasts done.” In a follow-up video a few days later, she shared that she’s also be removing her face fillers.
Amber Rose
In early 2018, Amber Rose decided she, too, would be downsizing her breasts even though she was a little anxious about actually pulling through with the surgery.
But the decision was already final as Rose no longer wanted to feel like she was carrying a “heavy backpack” on her chest whenever she wasn’t laying in bed. After all, she’s also a mom of two and wanted to retain her energy for things outside of keeping her posture right while her chest area was pulling her down.
Kylie Jenner
While this one’s a little more tricky, Kylie Jenner has also come forward in the past, saying she was ditching her lip filler, a decision which she was heavily praised for by her fans. In July 2018, the cosmetics mogul claimed she had dissolved “all my filler” which she accompanied with a photo of how she looked after making the reversal.
Since then, however, the size of Jenner’s lips has noticeably increased after time, so it’s likely that she’s back to using fillers again — but still, it’s nowhere near as much as she had it in her late teens when her lips were exceedingly large.
Chrissy Teigen
Over the summer of 2021, Chrissy Teigen revealed she was getting rid of her breast implants, stressing she had been yearning to finally be able to fit into her dress size again and laying on her stomach without feeling discomfort. “So don’t worry about me! All good. I’ll still have boobs, they’ll just be pure fat,” she joked. “Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat.”
