@Fulunem responded:

"I watched that movie of hers! So no, we saw what we saw and it was not good!"

@GeorgieBeani replied:

"She got it fixed, she talked about how botched she was and what she did to fix it on a live."

@ghettostar_22 stated:

"Khanyi has always been pretty."

@Mam_Bhele shared:

"But she did explain she overdosed on Botox while still recovering from the face lift."

@Siyavuy77463877 commented:

"Wow, she is even more beautiful than a celebrity lady whom I won't mention her name. Her money has worked for her, I applaud 👏 her. I'm sure she can see her goal has been achieved eventually. Warning: Not all women will have a beautiful face like hers. Think twice before."

Source talks about post-surgery care and advises potential patients

Just as Khanyi Mbau is trending on social media again regarding a new face that she got earlier this year. 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."
