Khanyi shows face: Footage of Mbau change goes viral
Khanyi Mbau teased her transformation with a new video.
The 40-year-old actress shared in August that she is upgrading her face card and this weekend a video of her at the plastic surgeon’s office went viral.
The actress, known for her love of looking her best, revealed she chose more permanent options this time because she was over temporary fixes like Botox and fillers.
Her latest procedures included a fox eye lift, a subnasal lip lift and blepharoplasty to reduce sagging eyelids, with Mbau dubbing herself Li Chong because of her “Chinese” looks.
Mbau recently went for a follow-up appointment to check her progress and controversial media personality Musa Khawula shared footage of the consultation.
In the clip, Khanyi is seen calmly sitting on a bed while doctors adjust the tapes on her face.
And Mzansi’s netizens had a klomp to say.
