Kehlani Shares Why They Had Their Breast Implants Removed: I Let the World Bully Me Into Feeling Like I Needed This

Kehlani appears to really be embodying the ‘new year, new me’ mantra as we head into 2022!

Kehlani has really been living in her truth lately. As previously reported, earlier this year they confirmed rumors surrounding their sexuality and came out as a lesbian.

During a recent interview Kehlani, 26, opened up about their personal life and shared why after 4 years post-op they decided to have their breast implants removed. They said,

“I got breast implants about four years ago because I was very much struggling with what beauty meant to me. I remember this video of me performing went viral. People were like ‘she’s horribly built.’ So I went and got breast implants.”

Unfortunately, after the procedure, Kehlani dealt with a few complications and side effects such as persistent fatigue, joint pain, and new allergies. The ‘Can I’ singer was informed by a doctor that they might be suffering from breast implant illness, which is an autoimmune condition that impacts some individuals who have silicone breast implants. They continued,

“I was already feeling dysphoric about my breast implants because I’m such a ‘tomboy.’ Like, how do I even put these in outfits? I actually feel way more beautiful than I ever felt because I feel healthy. … I really don’t take my natural body for granted anymore. I got things done that went away because my body type was not meant to be changed in the way I thought I could change it.”

They added,

“I let the world bully me into feeling like I needed this. It’s been such a journey to figure out how I feel about the way that I look.”

During the same interview, Kehlani reminded people that what their preferred pronouns are. They said,

“I don’t mind when people say ‘she’ at all, but something feels really affirming when people say ‘they.’ It feels like…you really see me.”
