Fans react as Stassie Baby admits to getting a BBL when she was younger
Anastasia Karanikolaou, also known as Stassie Baby, became famous because she was friends with Kylie Jenner and had a well-maintained Instagram account that included fashion, travel, and lifestyle posts. With more than ten million followers, people have been talking about whether or not she has had cosmetic surgery, especially on her breasts and butt.
When Stassie Baby initially spoke about it on "Call Her Daddy" in 2022, she indicated in an indirect manner that she had moved fat to her butt but was too ashamed to say so. She remarked:
“Obviously, I made this decision super young, and it’s something I obviously regret. That’s why it’s been so hard for me to talk about for so long.”
Following this, Stassie disclosed, referencing the rising demand for reverse BBLs,
“I literally have another surgery in a few weeks to try and reduce the size of it even more. I did not realize what I was signing up for.”
Stassie further added,
“Do not surgically alter your body for a trend at the time. The trend is only going to be relevant for a little bit.”
The BBL, which used to be popular with influencers, is now facing criticism because of health concerns and shifting beauty standards. Stassie Baby's honesty contributes to the discussion concerning the age limitations for cosmetic surgery and informed consent.
Her remarks were met with some criticism from fans.

Stassie Baby's honest tale about her BBL and the sadness that followed serves as a warning about the pressures of beauty standards set by social media. She stresses the need to make informed, planned choices rather than following fads by accepting responsibility for her choice, first in a roundabout fashion and then directly, and by employing timetable reversal techniques. The different reactions on the internet, which vary from ridicule to support, show how public opinion on cosmetic enhancements is changing.
