SZA is no stranger to improving and enhancing her body. However, some of those enhancements began to take a toll on her health.
During an appearance on the SheMD podcast, hosted by her doctor, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi or Dr.A., the “Kill Bill” singer revealed that she had her breast implants removed because she was suffering from fibrosis, an overgrowth, hardening, and/or scarring of various tissues. She said that she was warned against having the surgery but went through with it anyway.
“When I got my boobs done, my doctor took out some of my fibrosis, but.. there was so much fibrosis, it was crazy and he took it out. When I went back, a lot of the concerns were gone,” she said. She shared, “I have markers in my breast, like metal markers in my breast for these fibrosis, for these lumps or whatever, I’m not supposed to be getting breast implants.”
She continued, “So basically, I put them in. They ended up hurting me. I have way too much scar tissue because my breasts are too dense, and I’m not supposed to have breast implants. And so I ended up getting extra fibrosis like with tissue, whatever, and I didn’t feel good and it was painful. So, I took them out, and now, they’re just my boobs.”
Dr. A told SZA that she has a 53% lifetime risk of getting breast cancer due to her family history. Her mother and aunt were both diagnosed with breast cancer with her aunt having to undergo a mastectomy.
SZA says that she has relied heavily on her doctor with all of her health issues. “I’m naughty, but also attentive.”
