Former The Wife actress Khanyi Mbau reveals what confidence means to her after undergoing cosmetic surgeries.

KHANYI MBAU: ‘I AM A NATURALLY CONFIDENT PERSON’

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Khanyi Mbau says that surgery and self-love have no relation.

“We first need to understand surgery and self-love have no relation. People have tried to cushion their discomfort about what they feel is taboo by labelling their projections and saying surgery is a result of a lack of self-love.”

She adds that she’s a naturally confident person and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

“I am a naturally confident person, so any procedure has never been about self-love and self-confidence. I cannot also attach self-love to any needle or procedure. Self-love is not something you apply. Self-love is love.

Khanyi Mbau’s face has become a trending topic on social media again after she made a public appearance over the weekend.

Despite the lengthy recovery, which included painful swelling and bruising, Khanyi Mbau was happy with the results.

 

She shared in an Instagram Story at the time: “I always used filters and face tune to achieve this look, now I look this way.
