What did Simone Biles say about her procedures?
Simone Biles teased her followers on TikTok in late October 2025: “I've had three plastic surgeries, and two of them you would never be able to tell. Guess.” She then confirmed the three: a lower blepharoplasty for hereditary under-eye bags, an earlobe repair for a torn piercing, and a breast augmentation — the one she discussed in detail with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview published on 13 November 2025.

WhatsAppHer motivation was self-care, not pressure: “It's just feeling good about yourself and loving yourself, and I've always been very vocal about that.” And she was clear the surgery wasn't driven by self-hatred: “And not that I didn't like the way I looked or the way I felt,” she stressed — “It's just something that I notice obviously a little bit more because I live in this body, I'm just so used to it.” Her transparency principle: “It's just who I am and I feel like I've always tried to be open, honest and relatable.” She noted that winning Olympic medals “is not relatable,” but how people feel about themselves is.
That is what this article relies on: her quoted words in the report. Everything below describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.
Why her story matters
Simone Biles's account matters because it comes from someone whose body is literally her instrument. An Olympic gymnast knows exactly what her body can do — and choosing augmentation was an aesthetic decision layered on top of peak physical performance, not a replacement for it.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Implants in Calgary.
Her insistence that the choice wasn't driven by self-dislike but by noticing “something that I notice obviously a little bit more because I live in this body” is the healthiest framing a patient can bring to a consultation.
Her transparency — discussing the procedure, the reason, and the three procedures together — also normalises the conversation for other women. When the most decorated gymnast in history says “I've always tried to be open, honest and relatable,” it gives patients permission to ask their own questions openly at a consultation rather than hiding them.
How a breast augmentation is done today
A breast augmentation restores or adds volume with implants and can correct shape and asymmetry. Implant size, profile and shape are chosen with the surgeon based on anatomy and the result the patient wants. Implants differ in material (silicone looks most natural), shape (round or anatomical), surface and profile; incisions are placed in hidden areas and scars fade over 6 to 12 months.
Breast augmentation with implants
- Main goal
- More volume, shape correction
- When it is considered
- Low volume, volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, asymmetry
Breast lift with implants
- Main goal
- Volume plus lifted position
- When it is considered
- Volume loss together with marked skin laxity
Implant exchange
- Main goal
- New size, profile or technology
- When it is considered
- Ageing implants or a change of aesthetic goal
The right combination is chosen at the consultation, not from a celebrity story.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
A candidate is an adult in stable health whose weight has settled. Contraindications include active infection, pregnancy and breastfeeding, severe heart or lung disease, blood clotting disorders and anything that rules out safe general anaesthesia.
- Be honest with yourself — the motivation Simone Biles described (noticing something, wanting to feel good) is the healthiest driver for augmentation.
- Bring your medical history, including previous operations and medicines; the surgeon decides which tests are needed.
- Be open with your surgeon: the more honest the consultation, the better the plan.
What recovery looks like
The patient spends a day in the clinic after surgery. Moderate discomfort in the first one to three days is normal and eases clearly by day 5–7. Most people go back to work without physical strain after 7–14 days. For three weeks there is no lifting over 3 kg and no raising the arms above shoulder level.
Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks; swimming and fitness usually return then, strength training after about three months. Swelling settles in about a month, and full recovery takes 3–6 months. The timeline below shows the usual stages.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia; one day in the inpatient ward under round-the-clock care.
- Days 1–7Moderate discomfort, relieved with painkillers; clearly easier by day 5–7.
- Days 7–14Return to work without physical exertion.
- 3 weeksSwelling goes down; no lifting over 3 kg, arms below shoulder level.
- 4–6 weeksCompression garments are no longer needed; swimming and fitness.
- 3 monthsDiscomfort is gone and the tissue has settled; strength training is possible.
