Anastasia Karanikolaou, aka Stassie Baby, discussed her complicated feelings over getting various plastic surgeries.
You likely recognize Stassie as an influencer and the BFF of Kylie Jenner. The pair met when they were 18, and, as Kylie put it in one episode of The Kardashians, “We grew up together, we’ve been through so much together. She’s like a sister.”
Stassie was asked in 2022 on Call Her Daddy if she’d had butt implants, to which she said, “The only implants that I have are in my titties. I’m not saying that I haven’t done other things and I haven’t moved some things around…Over the past couple of years, I’ve tried to make everything smaller because I like the natural look. I was just really fucking young and stupid and maybe I don’t like to talk about it because I don’t like the decision I made when I was fucking 18.”
In the debut episode of her new podcast, Better Half with Stas + Alexis, Stassie said that “clearly the number one question” she’s had over the past decade has been about her cosmetic procedures. “I answered this kind of on Call Her Daddy when I was on it a few years ago, but I was too scared to physically say it out of my mouth,” she explained.

Stassie then acknowledged that she’d had a Brazilian butt lift, which is a procedure where fat is removed via liposuction and then injected into the butt and hips (making it particularly dangerous, as far as plastic surgery goes). She explained, “I think it’s not a secret, or something that I can physically hide at this point, that yes, I have a BBL.”
She further said that she’d gotten her breasts augmented again around “a month ago,” continuing, “I made this decision super young. And it’s something that I obviously regret and that’s why it’s been so hard for me to talk about for so long.”
Calling the BBL something she’s “actively been trying to fix for so long,” she said, “I literally have another surgery in a few weeks to try and reduce the size of it even more. This decision I made when I was super young has now been affecting me.”
“I did not realize at all what I was signing myself up for and I wish that little me didn’t feel the way I felt. The pressure of the world that we live in, the trend at the time. Do not surgically alter your body for a trend at a time. Just know it’s only going to be relevant for a little bit,” she continued. “Do things for yourself. There should be a law that you can’t get surgery until you’re 25.”
The influencer further said of her one-year-old niece, Sofia, “I don’t want her to look at me and be like, ‘I have to do all these things to fit this mold of what people think that women should look like.’ Because I think she’s perfect the way she is. Over time, I’ve now been able to realize that I just want to be the best version of me and do things that make me happy, and not for the validation of other people.”
“If there was anyone over the years that I’ve made feel that way— oh my god, I’m going to cry. I really am sorry, because I know what it feels like and I hope that together we can come to this place and feel and have this be an open, honest place for all of us to work through things,” she concluded.
