What Brittany Mahomes Has Said About Her Cosmetic Procedures
Brittany Mahomes is a fitness entrepreneur and former college soccer player, though she's probably best known as Patrick Mahomes' wife. She met the NFL star when they were just in their teens, and she's been by his side while he's risen to fame as a quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. "I was not prepared for this," Brittany admitted to CBS. "And at such a young age. We were in love and I loved him with all of my heart. But, you know, I didn't expect it to skyrocket this soon, and us kind of just being thrown into the fire like this."
With that "fire" comes scrutiny over her appearance. As a retired athlete and personal trainer, Mahomes' body is arguably part of her brand. But rather than borrowing her exercise tips, many fans — and haters — choose to focus on whether she's gotten cosmetic work done. Spoiler: She has, at least on one part of her body, and she isn't afraid to talk about it.
The procedure she confirmed she's had
Pillowy pouts have become the beauty standard in recent years. As a result, lip augmentation is now one of the top five most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. People have long speculated that Brittany Mahomes may be among the lip filler crowd, discussing the ever-expanding size of her lips in Reddit threads and comments on social media. One Instagram user wrote in response to a September 2023 post, "Ooooo girl you got your lips done and they look FABULOUS." On the same post, others commented that Mahomes' pucker looked overly done and unnatural.
Regardless of what onlookers think about the fitness guru's lips, their hunch turned out to be correct: Mahomes has used fillers to alter the look of her mouth. In August 2023, the Kansas City Star reported that the NFL wife confirmed she had undergone lip augmentation in an Instagram Q&A Story. When a fan asked Mahomes about her favorite cosmetic procedure, the influencer replied succinctly, "Filler in my lips."
The procedure she denied having
Brittany Mahomes doesn't shy away from outrageous outfits that show off her assets. A quick scroll through her Instagram profile makes it clear that one of her favorite features to spotlight is her chest — the retired soccer player is no stranger to bra tops and cleavage-baring necklines, for starters. Given these fashion choices, some online spectators started to wonder if Mahomes had breast augmentation surgery to make her bust larger.
The mom of two was quick to shut down the breast implant rumors in June 2021 when she shared a vacation pic on her Instagram. In the snap, Mahomes lounges in an orange swimsuit on a boat, confidently exposing her curves. "Haters will say they are fake, but breastfeeding moms will understand," reads the caption accompanying the pic.
This wasn't the only time Mahomes opened up about her breastfeeding journey with her social media followers. Just days later, she posted a picture of her nursing her four-month-old daughter Sterling, per People. Since then, the Mahomes also welcomed a son named Bronze in November 2022, which might explain why Brittany still has a busty frame despite her assertion that she's never surgically enhanced her breasts.
The procedure the public is still speculating about
Ask Brittany Mahomes to talk about her nose, and she might just discuss the art of de-boogering babies' nostrils (as she once did in an Instagram Story) instead — she's a mom, after all. The NFL WAG hasn't commented on her own schnoz, but that hasn't stopped people from speculating. In one November 2023 Reddit thread, for instance, observers noted that her nose looked different. "Is it 3 me or her nose looks bigger??" asked one Redditor, to which another responded, "Probably the effect of the lips." A third commenter surmised, "She looks like she had a nose job."
The photo in the Reddit post does make Mahomes' nose appear larger than it used to (such as in this 2015 pre-fame pic). However, other photos from November 2023 don't seem to accentuate her profile in the same way, meaning that lighting could be to blame for the effect. Put another way, it's entirely possible that Mahomes' nose hasn't changed, even if it looks different in some photos. On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs supporter could have elected for rhinoplasty, which can cause swelling for several months after the surgery, per Healthline. This may make the nose appear larger before it heals and settles into its new size and shape.
