When Simone Biles recently shared a set of sun-soaked bikini photos on Instagram, the focus wasn’t just on her radiant vacation vibes or her iconic athletic frame. It was also not for a gravity-defying vault or a jaw-dropping floor routine. Instead, the internet lit up with speculation: Did Simone Biles get plastic surgery? Those snapshots shared on her Instagram Stories have sparked whispers about whether Biles has gone under the knife. The whispers came fast and loud, with eagle-eyed viewers pointing to subtle changes in her appearance. As fans are used to cheering her flips and twists, now they are diving into the speculation swirling around her latest look.
So, what’s the deal with these rumors? Let’s break it down.
First off, let’s talk about those photos from a tropical getaway in Belize with her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens. Biles, fresh off her dazzling performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she snagged two more gold medals, looked radiant in a green string bikini, soaking up the sun in Belize. The images, including a mirror selfie showcasing her entire look, caught the eye of social media, with some speculating about changes in her body as compared to her past appearances as reported by Borepanda.com. But here’s the thing: Biles hasn’t said a word about any surgical enhancements. The only cosmetic procedure she’s openly discussed is a one-time experiment with “baby Botox” for her 27th birthday in March 2024.

Has Simone Biles previously been under the knife?
Rewind to that Botox moment. In a candid “get ready with me” TikTok video filmed before the Paris Olympics all-around final, Simone Biles spilled the tea on her brief fling with cosmetic procedures. “For my 27th birthday, I got Botox, like baby Botox, in my T-zone, and I did not like it,” she shared, explaining how one eyebrow would lift uncontrollably during practice, leaving her teammates giggling. “I haven’t got it again,” she added, noting she regained full facial mobility and has sworn off Botox for good. Her honesty about the experience was classic Simone, real, relatable, and unfiltered. But this is not clear whether she may have gotten a new procedure done or not. So, let’s take a look at what Simone has previously shared about her relationship with beauty and her body.
Simone Biles’s stance on her body and beauty
Now, let’s pivot to her broader journey with self-image. Biles, an 11-time Olympic medalist, has never shied away from addressing the scrutiny she’s faced about her appearance. In a 2024 interview, she reflected on her evolving relationship with beauty: “My relationship with beauty has changed a lot over time, sometimes with the trends and sometimes not. Now, I would still say my personal preference is always having a clean face and just being confident in who I am.”

Her confidence is inspiring, but does it rule out the possibility of cosmetic surgery?
The speculation about body enhancement procedures, as reported by Borepanda.com, remains just that—speculation. No scars or other telltale signs have been confirmed, and Biles hasn’t addressed the rumors directly. Her focus seems to be elsewhere, like enjoying her vacation and contemplating her future in gymnastics. In one of the interviews in 2025, she hinted at uncertainty about competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, saying, “2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.” At 28, she is still at the peak of her game, but she is also human, balancing a high-profile career with personal life. Could these rumors be a distraction from her bigger decisions?

Well, fans know Simone Biles for her strength, both on the mat and in her mental health advocacy, especially after her courageous withdrawal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to the “twisties.” Her return to dominate in Paris showed her resilience, earning her three golds and a silver. Whether she’s rocking a bikini or a leotard, Biles exudes confidence. The plastic surgery chatter might be grabbing headlines, but without her confirmation, it’s all noise. What’s next for the gymnastics queen, another Olympic run or a new chapter entirely?
