Battle of the BBLs: Who has the best BBL in Mzansi?

We sometimes look at models and influencer on Instagram and wish we looked just like them. But the truth is, most influencers weren’t born that way, they’ve had to-do some very expensive adjustments to their bodies. Some up to half a million rands.

So, next time you compare yourself to Instagram dolls, remember that. we will look at 11 South African Celebs who have openly gone under the knife to look like the Instagram dolls you see on your phones.

Lerato Nxumalo

Durban Gen actress Lerato Nxumalo joins the long list of celebs in Mzansi who have gone under the knife to transform their bodies. The actress, who is popular for playing medical intern Dr Luthuli on Durban Gen and Mpumi Cele on Lingashoni, is one of the women who have revealed they had a BBL (Brazilian tbutt lift).

Taking to her Instagram stories, Lerato shared a snap of herself lying in a hospital bed with a drip in her hand. In a separate post on her stories, she shared an image of what looks like her body post-surgery. “I cannot wait to heal properly and share my experience. I’m so grateful for you guys,” she wrote. And it seems she has healed and is now playing Phakamile on Scandal. [1]

The Bomb

“The Bomb RSA” makes it to our list first as one of South African Celebrities who went under the knife. The multitalented curvy Social Media influencer and model, just to mention a few, hit the headlines after rumours that she had done plastic surgery. After much speculation, Andiswa herself revealed that she has never performed any kind of surgery on herself.

Connie Ferguson

For a while, many questioned how the “Generations” star was able to age so well (like fine wine, we had to say, because -why not-). It was speculated that she had made changes to the shape, size and shape of her nose. Some even said she admitted it herself. There is only one way in which Connie Ferguson’s rhinoplasty can be proved. Find her doctor, or use your eyes. The answers are there to see.

Kefilwe Mabote

Kefiboo is one celebrity whose life has been marred by many rumours of plastic surgery, be it Lip fillers or skin lightening, she has had it all. It is, however, how she handles it, no one has been more confident about themselves as she is. Plastic surgery or not, she truly is stunning. In truth, she has actually had these surgeries performed on her. So, she definitely fits in this list of South African celebrities who went under the knife.

Tebogo Thobejane

The Muvhango ace is one celebrity who is admitted to be one among the South African celebrities who went under the knife. The actress and YouTube star admitted that after the birth of her baby she had Liposuction done. This is a kind of cosmetic surgery in which excessive fats are removed from specific parts of someone’s body.  [2]

Faith Nketsi

Yes, the twerking influencer had done it all by 20 and was all set and ready to receive the perks that come with it, although she claims not to have done any serious surgical procedure, Nketsi had her jawline edited and hence makes it on this list as one of the South African celebrities who went under the knife.

Dineo Moeketsi

Probably one of the country’s hottest females at the moment, Dineo has never been shy to share her incredible transformation story with her fans online. Her hard work and determination have seen her body become even better as the days go by. It is for this reason that she has made it to this list despite not being among the South African Celebrities who went under the knife.

Cyan Bougée

Many have always been of the opinion that the YouTuber underwent plastic surgery, but the truth is, she has never said it herself. It would therefore be safe for all of us to assume that she is all-natural, and oh my isn’t she the real deal. Those curves are ones to keep a man awake!. If you don’t get it, forget about it.

Sithelo Shozi

Sithelo Shozi has revealed she got a Brazilian butt lift and liposuction. The socialite and DJ took to her Instagram stories sharing graphic before-and-after pictures of her transformation on Wednesday, after being discharged from The Clinique Istanbul in Turkey.

“I wish we’d retract the surgery stigma we seem to pass on. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with giving yourself a makeover, it’s each to their own when it comes to such after three children. This was the best decision and best reward I could’ve given myself.” she wrote. Sithelo revealed that she had gone on a strict diet to undergo the procedure and said she specifically targeted her “hip dips”. [3]

Inno Morolong

The Diamonds & Dolls star does not hide the fact that she has gone under the knife to get her banging body. Speaking during a tell-all interview on Just Skin Deep? Inno Morolong said she decided to have surgery because she wanted her pre-baby body back. Morolong said she had three surgeries which are a 360 BBL, liposuction and a tummy tuck.

The controversial media personality said she did not follow the Turkey trend like other socialites but she had her surgeries in South Africa. She added that the entire eight-hour procedure cost her around R50K and no man paid for it. She said she save for a few months to get the money for the surgery. The 29-year-old stunner said she has no regrets about her decision to go under the knife. She told the Daily Sun that she wants to go back again and have a breast lift and fix her arms.

Eva Modika

Eva underwent a successful Brazilian butt lift and liposuction in Turkey in April. She travelled there after a friend from Tanzania recommended the clinic and the doctor.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE after her April procedure, she lauded the clinic for taking care of her and criticised a South African hospital for allowing her to go home the same day.

“The experience at the hospital in Turkey has been amazing. The aftercare is superior. They literally check up on you every hour. I can walk around the hospital. The nurses help with breathing exercises and other techniques to help me recover fast. I love it here.”

Eva said after realising other people also struggle to find the right doctors, she chose to share her journey and will broadcast it on the second season of Diamond and Dolls.
