Kylie Jenner's best friend Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou turned heads in Miami as she flaunted her newly slimmed-down derriere nearly five months after reversing her controversial cosmetic procedure.
Procedure Reversal
In October, the social media star revealed she had undergone butt reduction surgery, months after admitting she 'regretted' getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a treatment that uses fat transfers to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks. 'I'm at a surgery recovery center recovering from this a** reduction,' she explained at the time, leaving fans fascinated by her candid update.
Beach Debut
On Wednesday, the model hit the Florida beach, showing off the dramatic results of her procedure as she flaunted her smaller, sleeker curves in a barely-there bikini. The skimpy swimsuit left nothing to the imagination, putting her newly toned silhouette firmly on display and proving that less really can be more. The internet model also shared steamy snaps from her beach getaway on Instagram, captioning them 'DND' - short for 'do not disturb'.
Regret and Recovery
Back in May 2025, Stassie opened up about her BBL, calling it 'something that I regret.' 'I just got my pain medicine, it just kicked in,' she added, reassuring fans that she felt 'comfortable' despite the procedure. 'From what I've seen, this a** looks nice, lifted, smaller. I'm so excited to be healed and to feel more comfortable in my skin,' the influencer continued, showing off her progress. She closed the clip by sending love to her followers, asking them to be kind in the comments: 'because I'm in pain. I'm just a girl.'
Addressing Trends
Stassie returned with another video to tackle rumors that she'd undergone BBL removal just to chase trends. 'I would just like to state that the reason why I'm sharing my experience currently is because I wish I had someone that showed me the not glamorized side of plastic surgery when I was younger and I was 18 and I made this decision.' She explained she had been 'trying for years' to reverse her BBL, which had left her feeling 'more insecure.'
'With that being said, I think anyone should do whatever they want to do to their bodies - whatever they choose,' she said. 'I just feel like this was a mistake I made super young and I shared my experience now because I'm hoping that I can help anyone at the end of the day. That's all I care about. Hope I can help someone from making the same mistake that they'll regret. And that you definitely shouldn't change your body to follow a trend...'
Previous Procedures
Back in May 2025, the influencer appeared on Bravo Bri's podcast, admitting: 'I don't have a** implants and I don't think it's anything I can hide at this point, yes I have a BBL. I moved fat around.' She also revealed she had recently undergone a breast augmentation. 'Obviously I got this done super young. It's something that I regret and I think that's why it's been so hard to talk about for so long,' she said, adding: 'I literally have another surgery in a week to try and reduce the size of it a little more.'
Beauty Standards
Stassie also reflected on the pressures women face to conform to ever-changing beauty standards: 'Do not surgically change your body for a trend and just know that it's only going to be relevant for a little bit. Anyone else that knows me knows this is something I've been trying to do for a long time.' Going further back, in 2022, Stassie appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she spoke candidly about cosmetic procedures. 'I have not had butt implants. The only implants that I have are in my t**ties,' she said at the time. 'And I'm not saying that I haven't done other things and I haven't, you know, moved some things around or whatever the case may be.'
She added: 'But I just feel like I was at a point in my life when I was younger and I felt like my lips needed to be big, my boobs needed to be big. Everything...my butt needed to be big.' Stassie also addressed the stigma around openly discussing plastic surgery: 'There's such a stigma in plastic surgery and I feel like whether you say that you've done it or whether you don't say you've done it, people are going to find a way to say something about it and, like, make it a negative thing.' 'No one needs to tell anyone anything if they don't want to,' she added.
