Cyan Boujee Confirms BBL Leakage, Opens Up About Cosmetic Surgery Complications
Influencer and social media personality Cyan Boujee has confirmed the rumours surrounding her Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery — revealing that she did, in fact, experience leakage as a complication from the procedure. The revelation, made during a candid interview, has ignited widespread conversation online about the risks associated with cosmetic surgery.
Cyan, who has built a reputation for being open about her body transformation journey, acknowledged that BBL leakage is more common than people may think. “It’s something that can happen. It’s actually common,” she stated. She further explained that the leakage and a noticeable lump were likely the result of an infection that developed after her surgery.
This isn’t Cyan’s first cosmetic enhancement. Since 2021, the influencer has undergone multiple procedures, including liposuction, a gastric sleeve surgery in 2024, and most recently, a breast lift in 2025. Her honesty about her journey has made her a central figure in discussions around body image, self-confidence, and plastic surgery in South Africa.
Despite the physical challenges and social scrutiny, Cyan has remained unashamed and transparent about her choices. Her story sheds light on both the physical toll and the emotional strength required to undergo cosmetic transformations, especially in the public eye.
The revelation of her BBL complications sparked a firestorm of reactions on social media, with many users expressing a mix of empathy, concern, and humour.
One user, @Phangisile Tenele Dlamini, commented, “I don’t know about hers, but yes, the silicone bursts at times… such wounds can quickly become infected. The pain people go through just for perfection.”
Others like @Mase Coldice Lesito expressed nostalgia for Cyan’s natural appearance, saying, “The way you’re so beautiful, I just wish you stayed natural.”
Some chose to respond with humour, with @Vanessa D’Arc writing, “Leaking nyash yoh. Nice life problems. Others have leaking roof.” Another user, @Themba Majola, added, “Leaking?? Like geyser leaking or tap leaking? That leaking? I can imagine the smell yoh Modimo.”
Amid the mixed reactions, there was a prevailing sense of respect for Cyan’s openness. Many acknowledged the courage it takes to speak publicly about cosmetic surgery complications, especially in a society that often glamorizes plastic surgery without addressing the associated risks.
Cyan’s story serves as a reminder that while body modification may be a personal choice, it comes with real physical and emotional consequences. Her experience is sparking important conversations about the pressures of beauty standards, especially for women in the public eye, and the importance of understanding both the rewards and risks of cosmetic procedures.
As Cyan continues to share her journey with her fans, her honesty may inspire others to think more critically about the true cost of beauty — not just in terms of money, but health, well-being, and self-acceptance.
