Simone Biles has such a positive outlook about sharing her plastic surgeries with the world.
As we’ve been following, the Olympian has been getting super honest as of late regarding her cosmetic procedures. First, she admitted on her Instagram Stories that she’d gotten her boobs done. What followed was a TikTok she made where she revealed she hadn’t got just one — but THREE — surgeries. Those included a lower bleph and an earlobe surgery along with her boob job.
But why open up about it? Why now? She could’ve just not said anything, kept it a secret like lots of celebs do…

Well, she has a great answer! While speaking with People in an interview that dropped Thursday, the 28-year-old gymnast said she has “no shame” about her surgeries — and she doesn’t want any other women to have shame, either:
“It’s just who I am and I feel like I’ve always tried to be open, honest and relatable … Seeing me win medals at the Olympics, that’s not relatable. But what is relatable is how we feel about ourselves, what we talk about, what we go through and how we share openly, honestly. And so that’s why I decided to share it.”
Sweet! We love to see this kind of transparency from a celeb!
Simone then explained her surgeries and why she chose to have them. She dished to the outlet:
“I got a lower bleph because me and my family have, I call it the ‘Biles eye bags.’ We’ve just always had them, hereditary, and so that was just a big flaw. Every time I would go to a shoot, they’re like, ‘Oh, can we put some strips on her?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, baby, I had 12 hours last night, these aren’t going away. These are just hereditary.’ So it’s something that I wanted to fix.”
Ha! Such a relatable insecurity! She also got earlobe surgery to “fix” her ear after her earring got “ripped” out in an accident. OUCH!
But don’t get her wrong! None of these surgeries are because she hated how she looked before. They’re more so empowering for her. In fact, when talking about her boob job, she said it wasn’t because she “didn’t like” how her natural boobs looked:
“Okay, obviously you can notice the breasts. But other than that, it’s just feeling good about yourself and loving yourself, and I’ve always been very vocal about that. And not that I didn’t like the way I looked or the way I felt. It’s just something that I notice obviously a little bit more because I live in this body, I’m just so used to it.”
All in all, Simone is 100% on the team of women doing whatever makes them feel good in their own skin:
“I also think it shows young girls that they have the right to their own choices, whatever they are, and that’s no shame added as well. I feel like nowadays with social media, you see everyone and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, how does she look so good?’ Social media is not real, so that’s why I try to be as transparent as possible. But that’s why also I’ve told them, on my 27th birthday I got Botox — and for me, it didn’t go well. I didn’t like it because I had a floating eyebrow and everyone was asking what that was.”
Wrapping up, the superstar athlete left everyone with one powerful message — love yourself! She said:
“So I tried to share [my experiences]. And it’s like, you don’t have to do these things to fall in line to seem whatever. As long as you love yourself, that’s really all that matters.”
Preach it!
