During a recent podcast interview SZA, real name Solána Imani Rowe, shared that her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and her aunt also had a mastectomy. Professionals explained to the musician that due to her family’s history, she carries a 53% lifetime risk of developing the disease. Speaking specifically about her experience getting the cosmetic surgery anyway while dealing with fibrosis (the thickening and scarring of connective tissue), SZA stated:
“When I got my boobs done, my doctor took out some of my fibrosis, but.. there was so much fibrosis, it was crazy.”

“I like seeing somebody spiritual about it, specifically the breast cancer situation and the marker before I had the results of the biopsy and all that, I had talked to somebody, because I was like, I got to figure out what’s going on in the higher realms…”
“So basically, I put them in. They ended up hurting me…I got way too much scar tissue because my breasts are too dense and I’m not supposed to have breast implants. And so I ended up getting extra fibrosis like with tissue, whatever, and I didn’t feel good and it was painful. So, I took them out, and now, they’re just my boobs.”

“I treat my butt like a purse. It’s just there to enhance whatever else. And that’s why I paid for it, because it works all by itself..I didn’t succumb to industry pressure. I succumbed to my own eyes in the mirror and being like, ‘No, I need some more *ss.’”
