Natural beauty? Khanyi Mbau BEFORE plastic surgery, bleaching
Did Khanyi Mbau finally find the fountain of youth? Take a look at these pics of her BEFORE her plastic surgery and skin lightening journey.
South African socialite Khanyi Mbau is synonymous with luxury living, skin bleaching, and, of course, plastic surgery. But the reality TV star – who revealed her “new face” this week – looks drastically different from the one we were introduced to several years ago.
Khanyi, who lives in Dubai with her boyfriend, Kudzai Mushonga, recently underwent a series of extensive procedures in Turkey.
KHANYI MBAU PLEASED WITH FILTER-FREE FACE
On Friday, 22 November, Khanyi Mbau updated her followers on the progress of her plastic surgery. In September, the mom-of-one underwent her latest round of procedures, which included a fox eye and lip lift and an upper blepharoplasty.
According to the 38-year-old Young, Famous, and African star, the aim of the surgery was to achieve a face that had been “filtered and face tuned in real-time.”
Despite the lengthy recovery, which includes painful swelling and bruising, Khanyi claims she is happy with her “youthful” features.
She shared in an Instagram Story: “I always used filters and face tune to achieve this look, now I look this way.
“It’s still going to get better as the skin tightens even more and the face takes its full shape. I lost a few years off my face.”

I don’t think Khanyi Mbau got a new face willingly. Her skin probably couldn’t take it anymore, and that’s why she opted for a permanent solution to the problem. I hope this new face and skin last for as long as she lives 💔 yisono lesi pic.twitter.com/eWO4mupLmb
