Simone Biles just gave her fans a major dose of authenticity, and the internet is here for it. The GOAT of gymnastics took to Instagram Stories with a surgical secret, telling her 12 million followers she’s had three plastic surgeries and daring them to guess which ones. The reveal was a masterclass in celebrity transparency, blending mystery, honesty, and a touch of emoji code.
It all started with a “fun facts” video where Biles dropped the bombshell that she’d gone under the knife three times, teasing that two were completely undetectable. When a fan took a guess in the comments, Biles didn’t hold back. She confirmed one procedure with the simple but telling cherry emoji (š), a clear nod to a breast augmentation. But it was the other two that showed a more practical side to her choices.
She detailed having a “lower bleph” to fix her severe under-eye bags and an earlobe repair from an old piercing injury. This level of detail is rare from an athlete of her stature and gave fans a relatable look at her insecurities and past accidents. It wasn’t about a full-scale transformation; it was about targeted fixes for things that botheredĀ her.
This isn’t Biles’s first foray into cosmetic confessions. She previously told a hilarious story on TikTok about getting “baby Botox” and having to deal with a rogue, uncontrollably rising eyebrow during gymnastics practice. By sharing both her successful and not-so-successful experiences, Biles comes across as incredibly genuine. Sheās not just a collection of gold medals; sheās a person who makes decisions about her body, some that work and some that don’t, and sheās not afraid to talk about it.
