Simone Biles Cops To Getting These Plastic Surgery Tune-Ups
There is no shortage of celebrities who have lied about having plastic surgery, but Simone Biles isn't among them. The gymnastics GOAT has avoided speculation about going under the knife for cosmetic reasons by being upfront. In an October 2025 TikTok video in which Biles revealed little-known facts about herself, she asked her followers to guess which three plastic surgeries she had undergone. In response to a commenter, she revealed she had a breast augmentation, lower blepharoplasty to remove excess skin from under her eyes, and earlobe surgery to repair an earring injury.
Biles had also previously admitted to using Botox, though she said she disliked the effects and had no plans to do it again. "I would be, like, standing at practice, and then my eyebrow would slowly be going up," she shared in a 2024 TikTok clip. The ease with which she discusses the cosmetic procedures is impressive in the eyes of Dr. Michael Zarrabi, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills. "Because she's so open and transparent, it reminds people — especially younger audiences — that social media doesn't reflect reality," he exclusively told Nicki Swift.
Zarrabi finds it particularly positive that she addresses her online followers directly, as it helps combat the toxic environment that social media platforms can create. "[It reminds people] that many 'perfect' features we see on celebrities aren't there naturally or because they have good genetics. Many times their 'flawless' appearance is due to aesthetic intervention — and that is totally okay," he told us. It turns out that this is exactly why Biles talks about her procedures.
Simone Biles knows she is a role model for girls
Many young girls dream of becoming gymnasts thanks to watching Simone Biles perform her magic on TV. She is aware of that. And that is why she is open about her cosmetic work. "Seeing me win medals at the Olympics, that's not relatable," she told People in November 2025. "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."
Dr. Michael Zarrabi believes that Biles' approach is spot-on. "When public figures acknowledge their procedures, it reduces stigma and helps set more realistic expectations — it humanizes people," he told Nicki Swift. The Olympian further emphasized her desire to encourage others to embrace the physical traits they like and not to be ashamed of wanting to change the ones they dislike. "It shows young girls that they have the right to their own choices, whatever they are, and that's no shame," she shared.
Zarrabi finds this philosophy similarly admirable because it reminds people that it is okay to seek professional help if that's going to make them feel more comfortable in their own skin. "It empowers people to explore options — whether it's eyelid surgery, skin tightening after weight loss, or addressing areas that diet and exercise can't fix — to look as good as they feel inside," he said. Biles has proved to be a role model not only as an Olympian — but also as a human.
