Brielle Biermann, the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak, opened up about her experiences with non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and it’s alarming.
Brielle is one of the celebrities and influencers who will appear on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, a show hosted by Michelle Visage, where they will work with a plastic surgeon, Dr. Terry Dubrow, and psychotherapist, Dr. Spirit, PhD, to evaluate if they want to revise their cosmetic procedures or keep getting more work done.
Talking with Dr. Dubrow in a promotional segment, Brielle, now 28 years old, discussed how she developed her habit of cosmetic work from her mom, Kim. “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 that everybody was getting their lips done all the time,” she said. When Dr. Dubrow asked if there was any hesitation from the doctor because of her age, she said, “No. It was like, ‘Get in the chair, let’s go.'”
Brielle received lip filler a bunch of times and even began to receive filler placed underneath her eyes and in her cheeks, although her mom was against it. “I told her to never do that under her eyes,” her mom told Dr. Dubrow. “Sometimes you gotta let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, ‘Please don’t.'”
Now, Brielle’s attitude toward getting filler underneath her eyes has changed. Admitting she was no longer happy with the work, she pointed out which parts under her eyes were puffy. “One side is definitely more full than the other,” she told the doctor.
The social media personality acknowledged that her habits around cosmetic enhancements were something she learned from her mother and people around her. “I was always going with her to her doctors’ appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser she could think of to remain youthful, but then every month, ‘I’m like I need to get my lips done.'”
“Filler became like getting a Diet Coke. The under-eye filler became an insecurity that I didn’t even know I really had,” Brielle added.
“My mom was always going to get botox and lip filler, and watching my mom go through this made it seem normal,” she continued. “I get hit up by tons of doctors for free surgeries, free injections. Anything I felt like I could go fix, I would go and I would fix it.”
Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on July 9 and will be available on Peacock starting July 16th.
