Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles has opened up to her millions of social media followers about a personal topic: plastic surgery. In a candid reveal on her Instagram Stories, the most decorated gymnast in history shared that she has undergone three separate cosmetic procedures, proving that even the world’s most powerful athletes have personal insecurities they choose to address.
The 28-year-old athlete initiated the conversation by posting a “fun facts” video where she disclosed, “I’ve had three plastic surgeries and two of them you would never be able to tell.” She then invited her followers to guess what the procedures were. When one fan guessed “Boobs, skinny bbl, and eye lift,” Biles responded with a detailed and honest breakdown of her choices.
She confirmed one procedure with a cherry emoji, widely interpreted to mean a breast augmentation. The other two, she explained, were a lower blepharoplasty to address what she called “THE WORST eye bags” and an earlobe repair after her earring was ripped out when she was younger. A lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces puffiness and bags under the eyes.
This isn’t the first time Biles has been transparent about cosmetic enhancements. Last year, she shared on TikTok that she tried “baby Botox” for her 27th birthday but was not satisfied with the results. She described the awkward experience of her eyebrow slowly rising during practice, unable to control it, which led her to decide against getting it again. Her openness provides a rare and relatable glimpse into the personal choices of a global sports icon.
