Cape Town — Undergoing surgery is familiar territory for reality TV star Khanyi Mbau, and her latest procedure is no exception.
On Wednesday, she took to Instagram to share some graphic videos of herself following a surgery designed to give her facial features a more tightened appearance.
“Now we bake, bought a new face.. I know, I know.. before we all loose it.. it’s 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 at first.
Mbau then gave a shoutout to her surgeon and shared how she feels following the surgery.
“A big shout out to Dr Merve from @monocosmeticsurgery what a Gem and highly skilled with the face , I had a Blepharoplasty reducing the heavy skin on my eyelids and Subnasal lip lift adding shape to my lips. GOOD BYE FILLERS, BOTOX AND THREADS! HOW DOES IT FEEL? – TIGHT!! I feel wrapped in cling wrap 😂😂 can’t wait to see the final results.”
“It’s 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 🧑🍳.. #NewFaceWHOdis 😜 WILL NOT ALLOW ANY COMMENTS BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE EYES TO READ, MY VISION IS BLURRY. ✨✨✨🌿” she ended.

It appears that Mbau had disabled comments on her Instagram post; however, true to their nature, the X community took over the conversation.
On the platform, many criticised the actress for her seemingly endless procedures, while others compared her new appearance to her pre-surgery look.
