Erica Banks Opens Up About Her Second BBL Surgery

On July 31, B High ATL released a video interview with Banks via YouTube. About four minutes into the clip, one of the hosts mentioned DreamDoll’s recent comments about wanting to transition back to her natural body after undergoing different enhancement surgeries.

Furthermore, the host asked Banks if she would ever consider transitioning back to her natural body.

“Girl, I paid for this,” Banks said while chuckling. “I paid too much money for this!… But honestly, I’m really happy with it, so I wouldn’t go back and get a reduction.”

To note, in June, while interviewing with DJ Smalls Eyes, Banks confirmed that she’s done “two rounds” of BBL surgery, with the latest taking place in December 2023. Despite her latest sentiments, however, the rapper did share that she might reconsider her decision after having kids.

“…After I have kids, I might be as wide as a triangle, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there,” Banks humorously said.

The Rapper Speaks On The Recovery Process After Her Latest Surgery

As the conversation continued, Banks candidly explained that she dedicated herself to working after her surgery. However, after three months, she fell off her regime.

Keeping things candid, the rapper also shared that the recovery process after her latest BBL was “hell.”

“Probably the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my whole life,” she added. “The first day, I passed out… It was so scary, and then the pain is just excruciating because the inside of your body is just brutalized.”

Banks explained that she only recently “stopped hurting” from the surgery in April.

Earlier this year, Banks revealed what’s keeping her from getting a third BBL surgery while appearing on the ‘Big Homies House’ podcast. At the time, the rapper explained that she’s definitely given the idea some thought. However, she doesn’t know if she has it in her to undergo the recovery process again.

“I don’t know if I got it in me again that recovery is like insane,” she said.
