‘Breast jobs’ can include augmentation, reduction, or lifts, depending on the patient’s goals. Most procedures are done under general anesthesia and usually take two hours or less.
After having children, Kandi noticed loose skin and changes in her abdominal area. Pregnancy can stretch the abdominal wall, causing lingering issues that diet and exercise do not always fix. Kandi said she wanted to tighten her midsection and feel more confident in her body.
She chose tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, to address these concerns. The decision came after years of trying other methods without the results she hoped for. Her story highlights how common these challenges are, especially for mothers.
Kandi Burruss has not confirmed having had a full lip augmentation or a lip lift. Most of her public comments focus on body procedures rather than the lips. Her lips look full and natural, which could be a result of good makeup or possible minor treatments.

Her goal, as she explained to her followers, is to be open about beauty enhancements that are common but not often disclosed among stars.

Kandi has shared that she’s tried everything to lose weight, including intermittent fasting, juice cleanse, and juice fasts recently, along with all the other diets out there. She was really trying everything to lose weight and did lose a couple pounds, “Let’s not let all the other diets and stuff that I’ve done confuse you into thinking that that’s what made my boobs get reduced, because it is not, honey!” she said. She’s always been honest about her journey, making it clear that her breast reduction was a separate, deliberate choice and not a result of dieting or losing a couple pounds.
