USA Olympic great Simone Biles has revealed she was left terrified by the pain she felt after having a boob job back in June.
The 28-year-old uploaded a TikTok explaining how she went about the procedure and how pleased she is by the results, even though she endured a harder recovery than she had anticipated.
‘I got my boobs done June 16,’ she said. ‘You all lied, this s*** hurts so bad. Your girl could not move by herself. So I did take the full two weeks and I am glad I did because my recovery was rough.’
Biles said she had the implants put under the muscle and that after hearing other people say that their recovery was straightforward, she was worried by her early levels of discomfort.
‘The very first day, Jonathan (Owens, her husband who plays for the NFL team Chicago Bears) had to lift me up out of bed, physically lift me out of bed and take me to the rest room.
‘I am assuming that I am a little bit more muscular than most girls who get them done and that under the muscle and kind of doing all of that work really hurt my body.’
Biles added that she also panicked in the aftermath as it took her time to adjust to how her body looked.
‘They were up to my neck and I did freak out and I did talk to my doctor,’ she said. ‘I said take them out, they need to be smaller, they look like aliens. But now they are perfect.’
Biles vowed to answer any questions her 5.5million TikTok followers had about her procedure.
Earlier this summer Biles sparked speculation she had gone under the knife when she reappeared in public following what she has now confirmed to be a procedure but it took her a short while to confirm what people had suspected.
The gymnast shared a video to social media of her somersaulting on a trampoline at home, captioning the footage: ‘first flip – in a year – at the new house.’
She also wrote that she had ‘new [cherry emojis]’, in a not-so-subtle nod to the work that she has seemingly had done.
The 11-time gold medal winner performed a back flip in the video before revealing that she actually had gotten a cramp.
Biles was dominant at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, winning gold in the team, all-around, and vault competitions.
And in August, she dropped a clue that she might not be done with the Olympics just yet, while speaking at the Ready25 conference in Australia.
Asked directly if she’d consider competing at the Los Angeles Games in 2028, the American superstar said simply: ‘Never say never.’
In the past few months, Biles has been a regular at Bears games to support her husband on the football field. They next play on Sunday, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
