Khanyi Mbau is a trending topic on social media once again after showing off her new face. The popular actress and reality TV star has been open about her plastic surgery journey and the changes she has done.

Recently, after she went public with her new face at the Netflix premiere of Meet The Khumalos in Durban on Saturday, 5 April 2025, she has been receiving a lot of backlash about how her face looks.

An online user @MtnTaxiRank tried by all means to defend the Young, Famous & African star and posted a "better" picture of her which made no difference as many netizens remained unconvinced that Mbau made the right decision by getting her face done.

A look at Khanyi Mbau's face a few months after surgery

Fans have been sharing their unfiltered thoughts about Khanyi Mbau's new face as she continues to flaunt it on social media. Fans initially speculated that her face was botched when she covered her face with masks the first few months after buying her new face.

The Wife actress later answered her fans' prayers when she showed her new look for the first time on social media. As expected, reactions were mixed, with some saying she looked years younger, while others said she should have left her face untouched. Some fans have also blasted Khanyi for using filters on her pictures despite the expensive surgery.

Khanyi also made headlines when she shared another update of her new look six months post-surgery.
