This comes after the rapper had surgery to get her “ass shots” removed.
Cardi B is no stranger to cosmetic surgery, and she’s always been open about getting breast implants and liposuction, among other procedures. But the rapper is now warning her younger followers to think long and hard before going under the knife (or the needle, as the case may be). She’s even had one of her own injections removed.
“In August I got surgery and I removed 95% of my biopolymers… if you don’t know what it is, it’s ass shots. It was a really crazy process,” she said on Instagram Live, per JustJared. “All I’m going to say is that if you’re young, if you’re 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you’re too skinny, and you be like ‘OMG I don’t have enough fat to put in my ass,’ so you result to ass shots, DON’T!”
She didn’t go into detail about why she didn’t like having synthetic material in her behind, but Cardi did share her opinions on another popular surgery, the Brazilian butt lift.
“When it comes to BBLs, if y’all want advice from me, before you get your BBL done you have to make sure your blood levels are all right,” she said. “If a doctor says your blood levels are too low or you have diabetes or whatever, don’t do it.” (An improperly performed BBL can lead to death, and as many as 1 in 3,000 patients who undergo the procedure die as a result, according to a 2017 study. As the procedure has only soared in popularity since, these figures may no longer be accurate, but it’s still considered a major operation. So as Cardi says, listen to your doctor about any and all risks.)
A good reminder: Putting off surgery to do more research is way less work than getting surgery and then needing another procedure to have it reversed. Thanks for your honesty, as always, Cardi B!
The rap superstar has been open about her experience with going under the knife
Cardi B has warned fans to do their research and consult a doctor about their blood levels before having plastic surgery procedures.
The 30-year-old rapper recently took to Instagram Live to encourage fans to be careful and not rush to go under the knife.
She explained that she was speaking candidly because people have been speculating recently about her recent surgical procedures.
She said: “In August I got surgery and I removed 95% of my biopolymers… if you don’t know what it is, it’s a** shots. It was a really crazy process.
“All I’m going to say is that if you’re young, if you’re 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you’re too skinny, and you be like ‘OMG I don’t have enough fat to put in my a**,’ so you resort to a** shots, don’t!”
The star explained: “When it comes to BBLs (Brazilian Butt Lifts), if y’all want advice from me, before you get your BBL done you have to make sure your blood levels are alright,” she added.
“If a doctor says your blood levels are too low or you have diabetes or whatever, don’t do it.”
The Bodak Yellow singer has never shied away from discussing the different procedures she’s undergone.
The mother-of-two previously told GQ how she got the illegal silicone injections for $800 in a basement apartment in Queens back in 2014.
In 2019 the WAP rapper had her second breast enhancement surgery along with liposuction after the birth of her daughter Kulture.
She has also previously spoken about using the earnings she made as an 18-year-old stripper to pay for these procedures, which she thought would help end her insecurities and give her body confidenee.
