Its been three years since rapper DreamDoll, who has appeared on shows like Bad Girls Club and Love & Hip Hop: New York and has over 4 Million social media fans, had multiple procedures to remove silicone implants from her backside.
According to the artist, she’s hoping that her ongoing removal process, which began in 2021 and has included four different procedures, will end in her having a more natural figure.
On an episode of radio veteran Angel Yee’s podcast show, Lip Service, DreamDoll detailed her decision to remove the silicone, stating that the injections were becoming unpleasant for her body.
“It hurts, pain, not wanting a big butt anymore. I got four reductions already. It’s levels to this reducing sh*t so I’m just like — it’s way harder to take [the silicone] out [than to put it in]. People be like, ‘Oh it looks like she didn’t take anything out,’ — B–ch I took this sh*t out four times, you’re not about to make me keep putting anesthesia in my body to please y’all a**es, f–k that,” DreamDoll remarked.

“Yeah, I just wanted a more natural physique, I still do,” DreamDoll said to the Lip Service crew, implying that her removal process is still underway. “So it’s just a matter of time before I get there.”
“I went to Carlos Gomez,” continued DreamDoll, whose real name is Tabatha Robinson. “He’s in Columbia, he’s really good with reconstruction and I’ve sent a lot of women to him… When I wanted to do a removal, nobody wants to tell you that s**t… Nobody want to give that s**t [information] out. But I gave my doctor out to woman and shared my story through vlogging because I wanted to be able to help people the way I wanted to be helped.”
DreamDoll’s decision to go for a more natural figure is in line with an increasing healthy trend of celebrities reversing their cosmetic booty augmentations.

Singer K. Michelle was another artist who went under the knife to remove her implants as well.
“Good[bye] Betsy! It’s been 2much of you stealing my shine,” says K. Michelle about her butt (she nicknamed her “Betsy”) on Instagram. “It’s time to allow my new booty to be set free. I had so much fun Betsy! You were the apple of the eye of several NFL, NBA, and rappers. They loved that ass! But I am proud to say you were not thotful you were lady like! I will miss you and how my jeans fit. But I won’t miss hopping into my jeans every morning. I won’t miss my weight being so up and down that when I’m smaller you have me looking like a chicken drum stick. My ASS is already pregnant how could i ever handle carrying twins also with all that weight my legs would give out. I’ll miss you Betsy but you also caused me inflammation through out my body. No amount of beauty is worth your health! So everything has to be returned to its natural state! Jan I’ll really be Kimberly again.”
The inflammation that Kimberly was talking about is something that can happen to implant patients.
What Happens When You Get Butt Implants?
The implantation of artificial organs, medical devices, or biomaterials results in injury and initiation of the inflammatory response. This inflammatory response to implants has as its components acute inflammation, chronic inflammation, foreign body reaction with granulation tissue, and macrophage and foreign body giant cell interactions.
But that’s not all.
Butt injections using silicone are also extremely dangerous. The silicone is an unstable element and can move from the injection area. Should the silicone move to the lungs or the bloodstream, it can be fatal.
Permanent disfigurement is also possible. Commercial grade silicone is often used for illegal injections and in conjunction with implants or implant procedure, and this type of silicone is not FDA approved. The body may think the silicone is a foreign material and will react adversely.
Another potential risk is the development of abscesses or infections which can cause severe illnesses.
Other potential risks of butt implants include:
– The possibility of excess bleeding, which could create the need for additional surgeries to stop the bleeding
– Fluid can collect around the implant and can potentially leak through the incision. This can entail additional surgery to correct.
– The possibility of nerve damage
BBLs: Popular But Deadly
Despite the dangers, BBL have become one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries (some men get it too, but not very many). In 2020 alone, there were 40,320 buttock augmentations, which include both implants and fat grafting, reports the Aesthetic Society. According to Google keyword data, “BBL” was searched roughly 200,000 times per month between January and May 2021.
It’s also one of the deadliest. A July 2017 report by the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation in Aesthetic Surgery Journal noted that one to two out of 6,000 BBLs resulted in death, the highest mortality rate for any cosmetic surgery. In 2018, The British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery advised surgeons in the United Kingdom to stop performing it altogether, although they couldn’t ban it outright.
It didn’t matter: Women would travel to Turkey or South America for the surgery, where it was significantly cheaper.
