SZA opened up about her decision to remove her breast implants in a candid revelation on the S.H.E. MD podcast.
The acclaimed singer cited a high risk of breast cancer and an ongoing battle with fibrosis as key factors in her choice.
The 34-year-old artist, known for her chart-topping hits and soulful voice, detailed her personal and family health history, underscoring the influence they had on her medical decisions.
SZA’s journey began when she opted to enhance her figure with breast implants, a decision she later regretted due to unforeseen health implications.
“When I got my boobs done, my doctor took out some of my fibrosis, but… there was so much fibrosis, it was crazy,” SZA said during her interview with S.H.E. MD podcast hosts Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thais Aliabadi.
Despite early interventions to remove fibrotic tissue, the situation became further complicated, leading SZA to reconsider her choice.
The Grammy-award-winning artist delved deeper into her familial ties to breast cancer, revealing that both her mother and aunt faced their battles against the disease.
Such revelations pushed SZA to consult spiritual and medical guidance before making the profound decision to have her implants removed.
“I have markers in my breast, like metal markers in my breast for these fibrosis, for these lumps or whatever, I’m not supposed to be getting breast implants….,” she confessed, shedding light on the inherent risks involved.
Reflecting on her initial decision to undergo breast augmentation, SZA admitted her regret in not consulting Dr. Aliabadi sooner, a choice made out of a desire for autonomy over her body but ultimately guided by a need for health and well-being.
“So basically, I put them in. They ended up hurting me,” she shared, emphasizing the painful consequences of her implants, including excessive scar tissue and discomfort.
In the end, SZA’s story is one of empowerment, health awareness, and the importance of making informed medical decisions. By sharing her experience, the artist hopes to educate and inspire others facing similar challenges.
