JOHANNESBURG – Khanyi Mbau, the ever-evolving socialite and actress, has once again made headlines, this time for taking her transformation to a whole new level.
Khanyi Mbau who known for her bold personality and willingness to push boundaries, has revealed that she has undergone a facial procedure, resulting in a "brand new face."
Taking to social media on Wednesday, Mbau shared a video of her face, still fresh from surgery, explaining the procedure and her motivation behind it.
"Now we bake, bought a new face, I know, I know, before we all lose it. It is still very fresh and super tight. It will take a few weeks for it to cook. I grew tired of Botox and fillers every three months now looking for a permanent solution to a structured, tight face," she wrote.

The procedure, Mbau revealed, involved a blepharoplasty, a type of eyelid surgery that can be done for cosmetic or functional reasons. It involves removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to improve drooping, sagging, or bags under the eyes. The procedure can help restore a more youthful appearance and may also improve peripheral vision.
Mbau also underwent a subnasal lip lift, a procedure that aims to add shape to the lips.
"I can’t wait to see the final results It is still going to get worse before it gets better. Big shout to Mert my personal nurse, you made this experience this so comfortable. Now I live in this face bra as I wait for it to cook,” she added.
Mbau's decision to share her experience openly, with a video showcasing her post-surgery face, has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. The news has ignited conversations about beauty standards, the pursuit of perfection, and the ever-evolving world of cosmetic surgery.
This latest transformation adds another layer to Mbau's already complex public persona. She has been open about her journey with skin bleaching, a controversial topic that has attracted both criticism and support.
Mbau's willingness to be transparent about her choices has made her a figure of fascination and debate, reflecting a broader societal conversation about beauty, self-acceptance, and the pressures of public image.
While some may view Mbau's decision to undergo facial surgery as a sign of vanity or a quest for unattainable beauty standards, others see it as a testament to her self-confidence and her desire to achieve her desired look.
