Khanyi Mbau unveils new face
This week, Khanyi Mbau shared a video of her swollen face post-surgery after "buying a new face". The star revealed that she was tired of the Botox and lip fillers, which needed maintenance every now and then. Mbau said she prefers a permanent fix, hence the decision to go under the knife once again.
"Now we bake. I bought a new face... Before we all lose it, it is still very fresh and super tight. It will take a few weeks to cook. I had grown tired of Botox and fillers every three months. I am now looking for a permanent solution for a structured, tight face.
"I had a Blepharoplasty, which reduced the heavy skin on my eyelids and a Subnasal lip lift, adding shape to my lips. GOODBYE FILLERS, BOTOX AND THREADS! HOW DOES IT FEEL? - TIGHT!! I feel wrapped in cling wrap. I cannot wait to see the final results. It’s still going to get worse before it gets better."
Mzansi discusses Mbau's new face compared to old one
A social media user, @mapitsoQ, unearthed old Khanyi Mbau pictures where she looked much younger and more natural-looking.
Mzansi did not hesitate to express disappointment at how Khanyi decided to change her overall look.
Netizens had a debate:
@Mapitso_Q added:
"Y'all can say whatever but this was probably 2012 going down, and she looked beautiful! You cannot compare today’s make up and phone quality to 2010’s quality. If this is ugly, then you must as well support the nonsense she's doing!"
@Southafrican001 said:
"Khanyi knows she is beautiful hle please don't be confused, she just wanted to be light skin and age gracefully."
@Royal_Pearlette argued:
"I doubt she changed it because she thought she seemed ugly. Must've been deeper than that."

Khanyi Mbau was married to Mandla Mthembu from 2006 to 2009. Their romance began in 2005 when Mandla, a former Robben Island inmate and multi-millionaire, was 50 years old. They tied the knot in July 2006.
