The singer, 47, wrote in aposton X (formerly Twitter) Saturday, “Had to take a medication that made me put on a lot of weight that I just can’t shift with exercise or thyroid meds so I went in for lipo today.”
She continued, “Please know that I am so lucky to have the resources to change the way I look and that when you see me looking crazy foxy again (🤪) that I want you to know it did not come from diet and exercise.”
The Australian singer said she wanted to be candid about undergoing liposuction so as not to perpetuate a culture of secrecy around celebrity body image, though she did not specify where on her body she got the procedure.
“I want to be truthful about all of my procedures so I don’t contribute to the system that tells us we aren’t enough," she explained. “I am insecure like most people and being in the public eye gives me anxiety, so I’ve made the choice to alter my appearance for my own confidence issues.”
She concluded the post with a request for prayers and support from her fans. “Pray for me please! 🙏 I love you, keep going!”
Saturday’s procedure marks the second time that Sia has openly said she underwent liposuction.
In 2021, she shared during an interview with physician and authorGabor Matéthat her insecurities pushed her to get liposuction. “I’ve had liposuction twice on my chin thinking I had a double chin and it turned out to be muscles that I use to sing,” she said at the time.
“I was so insecure,” she said, adding that she also had a botched liposuction procedure on her stomach. “I did that to myself because I was so insecure and finally, I’m stopping doing any of that.”

In October, she made another revelation regarding plastic surgery as shesaid she’d had work done on her face.
“I’m a pop star that normally hides my face and doesn’t lie about s—. I got an amazing face lift from Dr. Talei,” Sia said without specifying when she underwent the procedure. “He is incredible. And he is doing so much good work — and not just for the pop stars of the world.”
She continued, “I was showing someone in the back my before-and-afters right before I came on. People go, ‘You look nice.’ I’m like, ‘Dr. Ben Talei facelift’ for anything you could ever want. I love him, I can’t say enough good about him.”

“When I got sober is when I put the wig on my face and that’s when I had in-ears and wig and I’m just like, ‘It’s like I’m in a little bubble with myself,’” she told Zane Lowe in a September 2023 Apple Music 1 interview.
“But now that I know that that’s what’s going on, I think maybe one day I’ll do a show with my face out again and have little fun talking to the audience and being heckled and getting present again because those shows were really fun back in the day before I had the wig on. They were really, really fun.”
