8 South African celebrites who went under the knife in 2025
Cosmetic surgery remained a prominent topic in South Africa’s entertainment space throughout 2025, as several high-profile celebrities openly embraced body enhancements as part of their personal journeys.
From mummy makeovers and body contouring to repeat procedures and overseas trips for surgery, particularly to destinations like Turkey, these stars reflected a growing culture of transparency around aesthetic choices.
While motivations varied, ranging from post-pregnancy transformations and achieving long-desired body goals to maintaining an image in the public eye, one thing remained consistent: the decision to go under the knife was framed as deeply personal.
In many cases, celebrities addressed speculation directly, shared recovery updates, or spoke candidly about doing “more work” after previous procedures.
