“I’ve had three plastic surgeries and two of them you would never be able to tell,” Simone Biles teased on TikTok. 

The gold-winning Olympian chatted with People about her choice to have cosmetic surgeries and said, “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.”

Biles said that her decision to have breast augmentation was a part of a broader run of elective procedures and she wants young women to know there’s “no shame” in making choices about their own bodies.

The 28-year-old shared that two of the procedures — a lower blepharoplasty to address what she calls the family’s “Biles eye bags,” and an earlobe repair to fix damage from a childhood injury — and then addressed her breast augmentation directly. “Okay, obviously you can notice the breasts,” Biles said, explaining the choice was about feeling her best and loving herself.

Biles was careful to push back on the idea that she undertook surgery because she disliked her body. “And not that I didn't like the way I looked or the way I felt,” she told People, and said the change is simply something she’s more aware of because she “lives in this body.” She described her approach as practical and proportional, choosing fixes that fit her athletic build and lifestyle while still allowing her to feel confident.

“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,” Biles said. She urged transparency about cosmetic decisions and warned against social media comparisons. "Social media is not real, so that's why I try to be as transparent as possible," she continued. "But that's why [I've also] 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."

“As long as you love yourself, that's really all that matters,” she added. For Biles, the surgeries sit inside a larger wellness strategy that prioritizes mental health, comfort, and ownership of her body after years of top-tier competition.
