Khanyi's new face leaves Mzansi shook
Shortly after the picture of Mbau's new face was posted on social media, many netizens were stunned at how she looked as they flooded the comment section with their reactions. See what they had to say below:
@Emmy_Jiyane said:
"I thought you were lying so I looked and uhmm yeah, she was so beautiful and now she looks regular."
@ntombi_alani wrote:
"Leave Seemah alone. I love her; she's beautiful. This one is her life, but I will never go this far trying to hold on to my youth. Ageing must happen at the end of the day; it's life. Darcey & her twin look scary. Now, it's not worth it."
Emely20250269 responded:
"To think that there was nothing wrong with her. She was gorgeous. I fear body dysmorphic."
@MaNkums replied:
"Honestly, she looks bad. The last procedure wasn’t necessary."
@smangamp commented:
"It's her own money mind your own business."

Source talks about post-surgery care and advises potential patients
Previously speaking to Briefly News journalist Tayananiswa Zvikaramba, a source who has had cosmetic surgery, discussed how important post-surgery care is. The source emphasised that post-surgery care ensures the patient gets the best results and minimises the risk of complications.
"Post surgery care is very important because there’s a high risk of infection after surgery. The healing process is long and grueling, and infections will definitely prolong it and make it much more painful," the source explained.
The source also explained that while Khanyi's procedure was non-invasive, it posed risks similar to any other cosmetic surgery.
The source also advised anyone considering surgery to conduct thorough research before parting with their hard-earned cash. The source added:
"Blepharoplasty is not as invasive as other surgeries but there are risks involved all the same. So I would advise anyone considering it to read up on it to be aware of what they’re getting themselves into before committing to the process."
Expert unpacks body dysmorphic disorder with Briefly News
Some social media commentators have suspected that Khanyi Mbau and many other celebrities who have gone under the knife, such as Mihlali Ndamase and Cyan Boujee, are suffering from body dysmorphic disorder. While none of them have claimed to have this disorder, nor have they been diagnosed, it is important to know about it and understand what it entails.
Speaking to Briefly News, mental health expert Juanita Khumalo spoke in detail about what Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is, stating that it is a mental health condition. Khumalo explained that this is caused when someone becomes too obsessed with their flaws and how they look on the outside, often associating them with societal standards of beauty.
She further added that some flaws are so minor that a person would undergo extreme lengths to fix what is not broken.
"People with this condition will spend most of their time just obsessing over their so-called defects. This will lead to their emotions taking a huge knock and they will often have low self-esteem."
