This time, Khanyi chose to alter the shape of her face by opting for blepharoplasty (a procedure that tightens and removes loose skin around the eyes) and a subnasal lip lift, which enhances the shape of her lips. The procedures, which cost an estimated R45,000 to R60,000 in South Africa, were documented on her social media accounts, where Khanyi shared her journey and reasons for pursuing a more long-term solution after growing tired of Botox and fillers.
Though she remains positive about the final results, medical professionals have pointed out the potential risks associated with these surgeries, including temporary blurring of vision and possible damage to the eye muscles. Despite this, Khanyi expressed her excitement to see the final outcome once her healing process is complete.
As expected, Khanyi’s decision sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some of her fans praised her bravery and honesty, others criticized her for undergoing such extensive cosmetic procedures. However, Khanyi remains unfazed by the criticism, focusing on her recovery and the positive transformation she hopes to achieve.
Khanyi Mbau’s journey with cosmetic surgery is well-documented. She has previously undergone skin lightening and liposuction, openly discussing these procedures and their impact on her appearance. Her candidness about these choices has earned her both admiration and criticism, but she continues to stay true to her personal aesthetic goals.
