Boy George Reveals He’s Had a Tummy Tuck, Is on Mounjaro – PEOPLE

Lose Weight Comments Off on Boy George Reveals He’s Had a Tummy Tuck, Is on Mounjaro – PEOPLE

Boy George is opening up about getting a tummy tuck, calling it the most painful thing hes ever done.

In his new memoir Karma, out Tuesday from Mango Publishing, the singer and '80s pop icon, 62, revealed that he had the cosmetic procedure done after getting a hair transplant.

Its time to confess I had three hair transplants around 2015-2018 two in Ireland and a final one in LA and the weird thing is no one remembers I was bald as a shaved badger, he wrote. I had a tummy tuck not long after, which was the most painful thing Ive ever done because I went on tour straight after with Cyndi Lauper with the blood bag attached.

Id previously lost seven stone [98 lbs.] doing the metabolic balance diet and I needed to get rid of the excess skin, he explained in the book. When anyone asks about my scar I say I had twins by Cesarean. Ive never had Botox, though, and I might be the only person in show business with my own face. Im not frightened of getting old and I think Ive grown into myself. It might seem weird to say I feel sexier but I actually do. I used to joke over the years, Sexy at 60. That was my ambition.

Additionally, the Culture Club frontman revealed that prior to appearing on the long-running U.K. competition show Im a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2022, he tried taking type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic to keep up with his new slim figure. However, he now later switched to Mounjaro, admitting that maintaining his weight has been difficult over the years as someone in the public eye.

Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide and works in the brain to impact satiety. Its FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes but has been trending due to celebrities using it off-label for weight loss.

Similarly to Ozempic, Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, which works by reducing appetite and improving how the body breaks down sugar and fat. The medication taken by injection in the thigh, stomach or arm is also FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes and popular as a weight loss aid.

I have struggled with my weight most of my life and being under public and media scrutiny doesnt help, George wrote. We are all guilty of saying, Hasnt so and so got big, even when we are carrying extra pounds ourselves.

I love food and I cant control my appetite, but I think I have finally got it under control, he continued. Well, Im on Mounjaro. Isnt everyone? Trust me anyone who was fat last year and is now skinny is on the wonder drug.
