Cardi B Gets Real About Her Plastic Surgery Regrets and Lessons Learned

Cardi B is no stranger to transparency—whether it’s about her music, personal life, or plastic surgery. The Bronx-born rapper has never shied away from discussing the ups and downs of her cosmetic procedures, particularly her experiences with butt injections. It’s been a long and complicated road, filled with transformations, health risks, and ultimately, a change in perspective.

The Early Days: A Risky Decision

Back in 2014, long before Cardi B became the household name she is today, she opted for butt injections—an illegal procedure she later confessed happened in someone’s basement in Queens. At the time, her desire to enhance her curves drove this decision, but it came at a cost. Cardi would later describe the experience as “the craziest pain ever,” revealing that the silicone injections leaked for days and left her feeling faint. The procedure was not done by a certified professional, a choice that Cardi has since cautioned her fans against repeating.
