Kim Zolciak reveals every plastic surgery she's had including 'mommy makeover' after six kids
The 47-year-old has drawn attention for indulging in such enhancements as Botox and fillers despite reportedly owing more than $1 million in taxes and fees.
Over the past couple of years, she has also repeatedly hit the headlines for her rancorous ongoing divorce from former NFL star Kroy Biermann.
But now the mother of six has shone a light on a different part of her life, while appearing on a new episode of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind.
She and her eldest daughter Brielle, 28, spoke frankly about their past experiences of going under the knife to change their appearance.
Rattling off a laundry list of procedures, Kim made special mention of the 'mommy makeover' she underwent in 2014, including a tummy tuck and a breast lift.
'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,' said Kim, who is mother to not just Brielle but also Ariana, 23, Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11.
'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,' she argued.
Kim also shared that she subjected her jaw to Ultatherapy, a non-surgical treatment that performs a lift and a bit of tightening on the skin.
She even touched on some of her non-cosmetic medical history, explaining that she addressed a herniated disc with a neck surgery.
However she made no mention of her 'laser vaginal rejuvenation,' which she underwent in 2023 in the midst of her divorce and her putative money problems.
Kim did disclose that her reason for going on the Botched spin-off was that she had been hoping 'to go under the skin and tighten it up' with a contouring procedure that ended up having the 'opposite' effect of the one intended.
Explaining the thinking behind her extensive surgeries, she said: 'My mom always said growing up, if I had really big ears or a really big nose that bothered me or whatever it may have been, she would have fixed it.'
Kim, who had Brielle and Ariana through previous relationships before they were adopted by Kroy, added: 'I've always kind of said the same thing to my girls.'
'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.'
On the same episode, Brielle pointed the finger at her mother when she discussed her history of dramatic cosmetic procedures.
In a clip for Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, the 28-year-old said that it was her mom who took her to her very first lip filler appointment.
Brielle also said that Kim — whose other daughter Ariana claimed had been stealing her teen modeling earnings with her estranged husband Kroy Biermann — would take her to her own cosmetic procedure appointments and speak openly of all her touchups in front of her children, which influenced her own attitude toward abundant dermal filler use.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Kim and Brielle for comment.
While speaking with the plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, the nepo baby — who revealed a rapidly reversed desire to dissolve her lip filler at the start of 2020 — admitted that she wanted to reverse the affects of her numerous filler procedures, including deposits around her cheek bones that she thought were overly plump and asymmetrical.
She also shared the shocking confession that getting filler injections became so common for her that it was 'like getting a Diet Coke.'
'I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done,' Brielle admitted as Dubrow's mouth dropped open in shock. '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 [from] at the time.
Dubrow interrupted to ask if the other doctor showed any hesitation about giving lip fillers to an 18-year-old patient.
'No, it was like, "Get in the chair, let's go,"' she recounted.
In a cut to a separate talking head–style interview, Dubrow cautions providers to be wary of using filler on young patients, as the substance — which is often used to erase the visible signs of aging — can instead make young patients look prematurely old.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, fillers tend to be synthetic or naturally occuring substances that are injected to smooth out lines and plump skin, particularly around the mouth, eyes or even nose.
Fat from a patient's body can even be removed and then injected into their face to create a fuller appearance in the chosen spot.
Although Brielle has expressed disappointment about her overly plump lips multiple times in recent years, it was filler under her eyes — around her cheek bones — that seemed to trouble her most.
Ironically, Kim claimed in an interview with Dubrow in the same clip that she had counseled her oldest daughter to steer clear of under-eye filler, despite having allegedly played a role in normalizing other filler procedures for her.
'I told her to never do that under her eyes,' the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star claimed, adding that she and Brielle were on the same page about regrets over the procedure. 'But, sometimes you've got to let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, "Please don't."'
Brielle admitted that she was happy with the under-eye filler at first, but now she found it to be 'so puffy,' with one side looking 'more full than the other.'
I was always going with her to her doctors appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser you could think of to remain youthful. So then every month, 'I'm like I need to get my lips done.
'Filler became like getting a Diet Coke,' she admitted. 'The under-eye filler just became like an insecurity that I didn't even really know I had.'
Brielle noted that she had been a reality television fixture since she was 10 years old, and the clip then cut to an excerpt of an earlier show in which she received a luxury handbag as a birthday present.
Kim, who looks dramatically different from her current appearance, hams it up and shouts at her daughter to 'smile' to show that she's happy about getting the present she asked for.
In a confessional interview, Brielle admitted that Kim 'was always going to get botox and lip filler, and watching my mom go through this kind of just made it seem normal.'
As evidence of Kim's openness about her cosmetic procedures and surgery, an old clip was included in which Kim boasts, 'The next time you see me, I'll have a new set of t***ies.'
Brielle claimed she would eventually get 'hit up' by doctors offering her free injections and free surgeries on the condition that she post about the work she had done on social media to help advertise their practices.
Because of those offers — and the money she made as a result of her social media posts to show off their work — she became hyper-fixated on any perceived imperfections with her face.
'Anything I saw that I felt like I could go fix, I would go and I would fix it!' Brielle admitted.
She previously admitted at the beginning of 2020 that she had decided to dissolve all of her lip filler because of how dramatic her pout had become by late 2019.
However, months later she added back some filler and revealed that she had wanted fuller lips since she was a teen because many of her friends had plumper lips than she did, and her mother concurred about her voicing that desire.
Then, in 2023, Brielle shared a before and after photo comparing her overly plump 2019 lips with her still plump but considerably more natural lips at the time.
'Bit of a personal post,' she captioned her post. 'All I'm gonna say is if you start to get lip filler… Go to someone who will tell you no.'
The beauty continued, 'At that time in my life (on the left) I had too many chefs in the kitchen… I went to too many injectors, none of which would tell me no!'
In 2023, Brielle shared a before and after photo comparing her overly plump 2019 lips with her still plump but more natural lips at the time. She warned any fans who wanted lip fillers to 'go to someone who will tell you no'
She admitted: 'I would be injected, get used to the new size of my lips, and then think I needed more. I still love some filler but listen to someone who went through it… Do not get overfilled!'
Kim's appearance with her daughter comes after she and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann were forced out of their mansion near Atlanta last month by police amid their financial woes and dramatic divorce conflict.
Other stars who will be featured on the Botched spinoff include Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day, former Playboy model Kathy Brown, Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta star Jessica Dime, 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima and multiple influencers, including Sebastian Bails, Sophia Elgerabli and Alan McGarry.
The new show is hosted by Michelle Visage of RuPaul's Drag Race fame, along with Botched fixtures Dubrow and body-image expert Dr. Spirit, PhD.
Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on Wednesday, July 9, and it will be available to stream on Peacock seven days after it airs on television.

MrBeast CEO and 'Beast Games' winner rally brand partners and rare disease support on Wall Street
MrBeast's new CEO hit Wall Street Wednesday as YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson's media empire looks to develop long-term brand partnerships and, in turn, unlock more funding for its charitable content. Venture capitalist Jeff Housenbold took over MrBeast leadership last summer with a mandate to professionalize an ever-growing entertainment company. YouTube's most popular creator had reached record audience levels far outpacing its startup days, while vowing to reassess its internal culture amid multiple controversies. But, despite joining Nasdaq 's closing bell ceremony on Wednesday, Housenbold said their strategic plan does not currently include a public offering — or any active funding rounds. 'Do I want to make banger content? Yeah. That's cool," Housenbold told The Associated Press. "But what can we do with that banger content? Generate profits, make a sustainable business that gives us greater ability to impact people's lives around the world.' 'We're marching quickly to profitability, so we don't have to raise additional capital,' he added. Instead, MrBeast is focused on securing multi-year exclusive advertising deals as opposed to single-video brand partnerships. With 416 million subscribers and legions of impressionable young fans, Housenbold argued that MrBeast is uniquely positioned to deliver more bang for companies' marketing bucks by pointing that 'firehouse of attention' at them. Along the way, Housenbold said he is encouraging Donaldson to tout the channel's charitable works — which often feature quantifiable stunts such as building wells, removing ocean plastic or covering cataract surgery costs. The company, in his view, 'can do good while doing well.' 'The more people who like us 'cause we do good, the more people watch our videos," he said. 'The more people watch our videos, the more we're able to drive in fees from our advertising partners... the more we can invest in more content to do more good in the world.' New projects such as the Amazon Prime reality show and a James Patterson novel from HarperCollins aim to diversify the genders and ages of his audience. Housenbold said that base has historically consisted mostly of 8-to-25-year-olds and men. But Housenbold acknowledged missteps in last year's production of 'Beast Games," which prompted allegations of 'unsafe' conditions from some contestants who said an unorganized set led to injuries, irregular food provision and lacking access to medication. While describing most of those reports as 'inaccurate,' Housenbold said they were 'better prepared' for the second season's recently wrapped shoot. 'Building sets for a 10-episode show is different than a 22-minute YouTube video," he said. "The scale, the size, the sophistication, the safety, the security, the cost effectiveness of doing that. We didn't staff up enough for Beast Games.' Ringing Nasdaq's closing bell Wednesday with Housenbold was the winner of the $10 million grand prize awarded in that inaugural 'Beast Games' season. Jeffrey Allen, the father of a child with creatine transporter deficiency, has promised to put some of his winnings toward existing treatments and research for a cure to the rare genetic disorder. He said the Association for Creatine Deficiencies, where he is a board member, added 1,000 new donors in the weeks following the final 'Beast Games' episodes' release. He hopes Wednesday's visit will draw more attention and money to all rare diseases. 'This is where companies that are bringing true change to the marketplace come to listen to other companies," Allen said. "So, there's no better place for a budding rare disease nonprofit to come and show, 'Hey we're trying to change the world, too.'' ___ Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Meghan & Harry's Netflix deal disaster is killing their US dream – how will they fund their incredibly lavish life now?
LIKE a slowly collapsing soufflé, the Duchess of Sussex's 'narcissistic' cookery show has been judged a ratings flop – and Netflix has decided to pull the plug. The streamer will let the five-year, $100million deal they inked with Meghan and Harry for that series and a host of other shows quietly lapse when it is due for renewal in September. 8 8 A source at Netflix said of Meghan's efforts: 'She had everything going for her — name, platform, press — and the numbers were dismal.' Lifestyle and cookery show With Love, Meghan only ranked at number 383 in Netflix's six-monthly engagement report this year, with just 5.3million viewers across the globe. Described by one critic as an 'exercise in narcissism', it was beaten by reruns of the first four seasons of legal drama Suits, which also starred the Duchess in her pre-royal days. Once judged by some as Britain's greatest soft power asset since Princess Diana, Meghan was filmed for her show making ladybird-shaped canapes from cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls. 'Dull indulgence' Even The Guardian was moved to describe With Love, Meghan as 'the sort of gormless lifestyle filler that, had it been made by the BBC, would be used to bulk out episodes of Saturday Kitchen'. In truth, the show is a smash hit compared to her husband's vanity docuseries Polo, blasted as 'a dull indulgence about a rich person's pursuit'. In the first six months of the year the programme attracted a disastrous 500,000 views globally, ranking it at number 3,442 out of around 7,000 shows. Reruns of the nine-year-old cartoon He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe scored similar numbers. A Netflix insider has pronounced the couple's lucrative contract 'dead', adding: 'They're just waiting for the credits to roll. 'They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new.' The end of what many regarded as a reliable source of vast income for the former HRHs has set off a bomb under Project Sussex and its bold ambitions. And of course it is not the Sussexes' first media deal that has gone south. Their reported $20million podcasting deal with Spotify was terminated in June 2023, with senior Spotify executive Bill Simmons labelling the duo 'f***ing grifters'. Hosted by Meghan, the Archetypes podcast featured conversations with friends and celebrities including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey and Trevor Noah. Critics said that in the episode with Williams it took 11 minutes before the tennis legend got a word in edgeways. In 2023 Simmons said: 'I wish I had been involved in the 'Meghan and Harry leave Spotify' negotiation. 'The F***ing Grifters. That's the podcast we should have launched with them. 'I have got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. 'It's one of my best stories. F*** them. The grifters.' The Sussexes' undoubted TV hit was docuseries Harry & Meghan, released in December 2022. It became Netflix's biggest documentary debut, with more than 28million watching in the first four days of its release. In it the couple accused the Royal Family of 'unconscious bias' and claimed Palace aides were complicit in negative media briefings against them. 8 8 Podcast boss Simmons said of Harry that year: 'You live in f***ing Montecito and you just sell documentaries and podcasts and nobody cares what you have to say about anything unless you talk about the Royal Family and you just complain about them.' While the Netflix deal will lapse, Meghan's As Ever collection of wine, jam and cookies is displaying 'sold out' signs on her website. It raises the question of whether it will be her earnings that are increasingly relied upon to fund the family's expensive Hollywood lifestyle, and if so, will it be enough? PR expert Nick Ede believes that in the future the Duchess will provide the surest revenue stream, saying: 'Meghan is the best way of making money for the two of them. 'She is the breadwinner.' However, marketing experts Camille Moore and Phillip Millar accused Meghan's As Ever brand of being 'not intelligent' and 'not well executed'. Speaking on The Art Of The Brand podcast this week, Millar accused Meghan of trying to rinse the maximum value from her 'fame that came from Suits and being a part of the Royal Family'. Millar added: 'Her brand wasn't one built on substance. It was based on using people.' Meanwhile, Harry, who has two paying jobs — with sustainable tourism firm Travalyst and coaching company BetterUp — seems most passionate when he is undertaking his charitable endeavours. During a recent trip to Angola, The Duke followed in the footsteps of Princess Diana by walking through a minefield on behalf of his charity The Halo Trust. 'Life of service' Harry said in a statement: 'As a father to young children, it breaks my heart to see innocent children still living and playing next to minefields,' Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond commented: 'I think this is precisely the sort of work that Harry should do. 'It is not only a hugely worth-while cause, but it also connects him with his mother, which is something he yearns for. 'I think he is coming to recognise that the LA celebrity world is one in which he is not especially comfortable. 'And he seems quite willing to let Meghan take the limelight over there. 'He speaks frequently about a life of service, and trips like this certainly serve a very good cause indeed.' Yet charity missions, while good for the soul, do not pay the bills. And the Sussexes' court in the Californian sunshine is not a cheap enterprise. Their home, a nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion close to the Pacific in Montecito, is in America's fifth most expensive postcode. 8 8 They bought it for almost £11million after the drama of Megxit in 2020, and the following year Harry said in his tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey that his father has 'literally cut me off financially'. Without the money left to him by Diana — said to be £10million — Harry said 'we would not have been able to do this'. Harry's finances got a boost last September when he turned 40 and a fund set up by the late Queen Mother gave him access to around £8million. But while most people could live very well on that kind of cash, Harry and Meghan's lifestyle is not like most people's. They have more in common with the super-rich of California than your average couple. Indeed, they are said to have mortgage payments of around £350,000 a year, while staffing costs come to an estimated £180,000. Harry has also spent on court cases and could be in line for a £1.5million bill for his failed attempt to get the Home Office to pay for his security in the UK. Security is a very real worry for Prince Harry, who served two tours of Afghanistan. Former royal protection officer Simon Morgan estimated the Sussexes' protection costs come to at least £3million a year, adding: 'Security is not a fashion accessory, it's a need.' EYE-WATERING TAB It leaves the Sussexes with an eye-watering tab just to meet their estimated outgoings. Last month, royal financial expert Norman Baker told Channel 5 show Meghan And Harry: Where Did The Money Go? that the Sussexes' earning potential was on the wane. The former Liberal Democrat MP said: 'They've done the big hits that they could do. 'They've done the big Spotify event, they've done the big book, there is nothing else to come, nothing else to sell apart from themselves.' Harry's autobiography Spare became the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever and has gone on to sell more than six million copies worldwide. With their Netflix deal over, perhaps Meghan will feel the time is right for her to release her own blockbuster tome to get the cash registers ringing again. Both Netflix and Harry and Meghan are yet to comment. 8 8

Denise Richards sparks fears over BOTCHED new look... amid ugly divorce from 'wife beater' ex Aaron Phypers
Denise Richards ignited plastic surgery speculation as she stepped out in LA this week - just days after making domestic violence claims in court against her estranged husband Aaron Phypers. Richards, 54, who has previously admitted to breast implants and Botox, showed off grisly temple incisions on both sides of her face during a low-key outing in Calabasas with her daughter Sami Sheen, 21, on Tuesday.
