Iggy Azalea, the Australian rapper, revealed to Vogue magazine that she had a boob job about four months ago. The artist admitted her breast augmentation when asked by Vogue about what she would change about her body.   

"I did change something: Four months ago, I got bigger boobs! I'd thought about it my entire life," told Azalea and also noted that she never wanted to reveal it since she did not want her young fans to feel bad about their shapes. She also mentioned that since she is not the kind of person who keeps secrets so she had to spit it out, according to Hollywood Life.

Azalae noted about her figure in Vogue that, "It's about proportion. I have to have everything tailored because I have such a small waist. I'm a 2 or a 0 on the top, and a 6 on the bottom." She also added that, "When I first got to the States, people told me I should think about modeling, so I went to a few agencies, but once they measured my body- they didn't like me anymore."

The rapper also mentioned that she was told by the modelling agencies to get a nose job done and lose some weight as well. 

Though breast implants are becoming common among women, particularly celebrities, these days it is necessary to think of the pros and cons involved before proceeding with such corrective surgeries. Emax Health noted that according to FDA, women carrying these breast implants are at a risk of developing complications that include capsular contracture, breast pain and atrophy, extrusion of the implant through the skin or toxic shock syndrome

Gretchen Burns, a nurse consultant at FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, noted, "The life of these devices varies according to the individual, all women with implants will face additional surgeries-no one can tell them when," as reported in Emax Health.

A keen research on the type of implant should be conducted since there are varieties of fillers used in the implants ranging from silicone to saline solution. The shape, size, placement area, surface texture, and various other factors should be discussed cautiously with the surgeon. Though the implants are approved to be safe by FDA, it does not automatically mean that it is safe with every woman. There are cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with breast implants identified by the FDA.
