“I want to be a Doll” says Khanyi Mbau On Artificial Beauty Enhancements

It seems no matter how people can judge on her for bleaching her skin so much Khanyi Mbau is adamant on lighting herself with the core aim of looking like a doll. Mbau’s attempt to look like a doll started back in 2011 with various surgeries and other beauty enhancement procedures.

She had breast implants, followed by an eyebrow lift and a procedure to push back her gums and whiten her teeth. She has also had liposuction (and invited the media into the surgery to witness fat being sucked from her bottom), removed hair follicles from the back of her head and implanted them on her eyebrows and on spots around her head where she lacked hair.She also used Botox to freeze her wrinkles and used fillers to give her nose a better profile.

The Media personality said that she is looking for anything close to perfection. “Relevancy chases me – I’ve been relevant since the age of 13.” Khanyi adds that being light skinned helps boost her career.

“I believe the brighter you are in appearance, the more you will stand out,” she said in an interview in 2016. “At the end of the day, I’m an entertainer and a celebrity and to make money I need to stand out.

“Am I telling other women to lighten their skins? No. Why put yourself under pressure to look a certain way if it’s not going to help you or make you feel better about yourself? If you’re a bank teller your appearance shouldn’t affect the way you work. But for me, it’s an investment. I’m a pro-aesthetic person.” She says she’s “in the business of selling beauty”.

In conclusion the star said that she mustn’t be slammed for what she chooses to be. “If you want to slam me for wanting a brighter, more glowing skin, then why not also attack people who pluck their eyebrows, change their hair colour or shave their legs. I’m not hurting anyone and it’s making my life easier. At the end of the day, choosing to have lighter skin really is just skin-deep.”
