- Brielle Biermann shared her experiences with filler on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind
- The influencer revealed that she started getting filler as young as 18, and her mother, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, would drive her to appointments
- Brielle’s also got filler placed under her eyes, which she now calls an “insecurity”
Brielle Biermann is hoping to rewind the clock to before she ever got fillers.
The influencer is one of the celebrities set to appear on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, where they will explore their desires for a more natural appearance with the help of plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow and body image expert Dr. Spirit, PhD.
In a clip from the show, Biermann, 28, had a candid conversation with Dubrow about the origins of her cosmetic work, sharing that her mother — Kim Zolciak of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta — influenced her behaviors around procedures.
“I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done. I graduated high school and the second I graduated, my mom took me to L.A. and I got my lips done by the doctor that everybody was getting their lips done all the time,” the Instagram star told Dubrow. “It was like, ‘Get in the chair, let’s go.’ ”
After getting her lips done multiple times, Biermann became curious about having filler placed under her eyes, even though her mother advised her against it.
“I told her to never do that under her eyes,” Zolciak, 47, told the plastic surgeon. “Sometimes you gotta let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, ‘Please don’t.’ ”

Biermann’s feelings about under-eye filler have changed, as she now calls it an insecurity that she didn’t have before getting filler placed.
“One side is definitely more full than the other,” she told Dubrow.
The influencer also touched on her mother’s beauty habits and recalled that Zolciak was “always going with my mom to her doctors appointments, I feel like she was mostly getting every laser she could think of to remain youthful, so then every month, ‘I’m like I need to get my lips done.’ ”
She added, “Filler became like getting a Diet Coke. The under-eye filler became an insecurity that I didn’t even really know I had.”
Biermann also noted that accompanying her mother to clinics for touch-ups was a common occurrence — according to the influencer, Zolciak “was always going to get botox and lip filler, a watching my mom go through this made it seem normal.”
Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day, Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star Jessica Dime and 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima, content creators Sebastian Bails, Sophia Elgerabli, Alan McGarry and former Playboy model Kathy Brown also appear in Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind.
