“Filler became like getting a Diet Coke” – Kim Zolciak and daughter Brielle Biermann open up on years of plastic surgery, regret, and growing up in a world where fixing your face became routine

Kim Zolciak hasn’t had the best few years due to her divorce from Kroy Biermann. However, she appears to be making some positive changes lately. Now, she and her daughter, Brielle Biermann, are appearing on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind. The two recently opened up about the work they’ve had done.

As the name of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind suggests, it features celebrities known for having undergone plastic surgery, considering reversing some of their procedures. Throughout the E! series, they’ll face several emotional challenges designed to help them evaluate the impact their cosmetic procedures have had on their lives before ultimately making a decision. 

According to US Weekly, both Kim and Brielle explained why they wanted to appear on the new series. Brielle said, ” I’m here because I’m unhappy with my under-eye filler. I’ve gone through so much with this face.”

Kim then added, “I’m here because I’m going through a divorce, and I’ve had some weight loss, and I’m a small-frame person. The 10 pounds have definitely created some loose skin.”

Regarding what work they’ve had done, Brielle admitted, “I’ve done my lips countless number of times. Botox, whole new jaw, which basically gave me a whole new face. I’m hopeful for a better, softer, more natural look.”

Kim started by saying she had a “mommy makeover” in 2014. This included a breast lift and a tummy tuck. She went on, “I’ve done my boobs a few times. Then I had a tummy tuck. I did have filler in my lip. I do Botox all the time. I sacrificed my body for six incredible humans, so I did a mommy makeover. Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you have to let yourself go.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Brielle can be seen talking to Dr. Terry Dubrow about how she started her journey with fillers. She said, “I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done. I graduated high school, and the second I graduated, my mom took me to LA, and I got my lips done by the doctor everybody was getting their lips done at the time.”

She went on to say that the doctor didn’t hesitate despite her young age. Dr. Terry then said in a confessional, “Doctors who do filler on young people really should think twice because at the end of the day, filler can actually make a young person look significantly older.” 

Brielle also pointed out that she had done filler in her cheeks and under her eyes. Kim later said, “I told her never to do that under her eyes and said that she regrets that she went against her wishes. From there, Brielle expresses that she regrets the procedure because it’s “so puffy” under her eyes. She also said, “I think one side is definitely more full than the other.”

The former Don’t Be Tardy star was then asked how aware she was of plastic surgery, including her mom’s when she was younger. She revealed, “I was always going with her to her doctor’s appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser you could think of to remain youthful.”

She continued, “Then every month I’m like, ‘Oh, I need to go get my lips done.’ Filler became like going and getting a Diet Coke.” Brielle also discussed being insecure and the toll growing up on TV played in her decisions. Additionally, she admitted to getting free plastic surgery in the form of social media brand deals. In the end, she said, “Anything that I saw I could fix, I would go and fix it.”
