Kim Zolciak and her daughter Brielle Biermann are no strangers to the spotlight, but their latest venture into the world of reality TV is turning heads for all the right—and wrong—reasons. The mother-daughter duo is stepping into the confessional chairs of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, a gripping new E! series that dives deep into the emotional and physical toll of cosmetic procedures. With Kim navigating the aftermath of a high-profile divorce from Kroy Biermann and Brielle grappling with the consequences of her own cosmetic choices, their journey is as raw as it is revealing.
The premise of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind is both compelling and introspective. The show follows celebrities who’ve undergone extensive plastic surgery as they confront the possibility of reversing their procedures. Through emotional challenges and candid reflections, Kim and Brielle open up about their motivations, regrets, and the pressures that drove them to reshape their appearances.
Brielle’s Battle with Filler Regret
Brielle Biermann, now in her late 20s, doesn’t hold back when discussing her cosmetic journey. “I’m here because I’m unhappy with my under-eye filler,” she confesses. “I’ve gone through so much with this face.” Her list of procedures is extensive: “I’ve done my lips countless times, Botox, and a whole new jaw, which basically gave me a whole new face.” Her goal now? A softer, more natural look that moves away from the overfilled, exaggerated features she once chased.
Brielle’s story begins at just 18, fresh out of high school, when her mother whisked her to Los Angeles for her first lip filler session. “The second I graduated, my mom took me to L.A., and I got my lips done,” she recalls. The doctor, unfazed by her young age, proceeded without hesitation—a decision that Dr. Terry Dubrow, a Botched veteran, critiques in a confessional. “Doctors who do filler on young people really should think twice,” he warns. “Filler can actually make a young person look significantly older.”
Brielle’s regrets are palpable, particularly about the filler under her eyes. “It’s so puffy,” she laments, noting an unevenness that’s become a source of insecurity. “I think one side is definitely more full than the other.” Her mother, Kim, admits she advised against the under-eye filler, but Brielle’s determination at the time overrode her warnings. Growing up in the public eye, Brielle also reveals how reality TV amplified her insecurities, pushing her to “fix” anything she perceived as imperfect. Shockingly, she even scored free procedures through social media brand deals, treating filler injections as casually as grabbing a Diet Coke.
Kim’s “Mommy Makeover” and Beyond
Kim Zolciak, the former star of Don’t Be Tardy, is equally candid about her own cosmetic history. “I’m here because I’m going through a divorce, and I’ve had some weight loss,” she shares. “The 10 pounds have definitely created some loose skin.” For Kim, her procedures have been a way to reclaim her body after giving birth to six children. “I sacrificed my body for six incredible humans,” she says, “so I did a mommy makeover.”
Her “mommy makeover” in 2014 included a breast lift and tummy tuck, but that was just the beginning. “I’ve done my boobs a few times,” Kim admits, adding, “I’ve had a tummy tuck, filler in my lips, and I do Botox all the time.” For her, these procedures were about defying the stereotype that motherhood means “letting yourself go.” Yet, her recent weight loss has left her grappling with new challenges, prompting her to consider reversing or adjusting some of her past work.
A Childhood in the Cosmetic Spotlight
Brielle’s exposure to plastic surgery started early, tagging along to her mother’s countless doctor’s appointments. “I was always going with her,” she recalls. “She was getting every laser you could think of to remain youthful.” This environment normalized cosmetic tweaks for Brielle, making procedures feel like a natural part of life. But the constant scrutiny of growing up on television took a toll. “Anything I saw I could fix, I would go and fix it,” she confesses, highlighting how the pressure to maintain a “perfect” image fueled her decisions.
A Journey Toward Acceptance
As Kim and Brielle navigate their time on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, they’re forced to confront not just their physical transformations but also the emotional weight of their choices. For Brielle, it’s about undoing the damage of overzealous fillers and embracing a more authentic version of herself. For Kim, it’s about adapting to life post-divorce and addressing the physical changes that have left her feeling vulnerable. Together, they’re peeling back the layers of their “perfect” looks to reveal the real cost of chasing beauty.
Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind promises to be a raw, emotional exploration of vanity, regret, and redemption. Will Kim and Brielle find peace with their appearances, or will the lure of the needle pull them back in? One thing’s for sure: their story is a shocking reminder that even the most glamorous faces come with a hidden price.
