Chanel West Coast recently shared her decision to choose liposuction over the popular weight-loss drug Ozempic to shed her pregnancy weight. The “West Coast Hustle” star, 35, opened up about undergoing a significant liposuction procedure after giving birth to her daughter, Bowie Breeze, 20 months ago in 2022.
“I’m really weird about medications and stuff,” Chanel explained on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast.
“I’ve heard all these things like, if you stop taking Ozempic, you could possibly gain more weight. And I’m like, ‘That’s definitely not what I want.'”
She emphasized that she didn’t want to rely on a medication for the rest of her life, saying, “So I was just never a fan.” Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have become trendy among celebrities, as these medications contain ingredients that mimic hormones in the brain to regulate appetite.
However, Chanel chose a different path. “For everybody Ozempic works for, more power to you, dude,” she said. “If it’s working for you and you feel great and it’s not affecting your health, then I’m happy for you. But I’m kind of scared of stuff like that.”

Chanel admitted it was ironic that she feared medications more than surgery. “I think it’s funny that I wasn’t scared for lipo and then scared of that. But lipo’s like a one-time thing, and it’s over,” she added.
Chanel and her partner, Dom Fenison, welcomed their first child in late 2022. With the filming of their MTV reality series, “The West Coast Hustle,” premiering today, Chanel wanted to regain her pre-pregnancy figure. “I have been a skinny person my whole life,” she said.
“I’m one of those people that, you know, I can kind of get away with eating my Taco Bell and In ‘N Out, and I was just always skinny. But after having a baby, my body just completely changed, and I could tell.”
Knowing she had a new show coming out and was about to be back in the spotlight, Chanel felt the pressure to look her best. “I knew I was about to be working hard on my music again,” she added.
Chanel, who is also known for her time on “Ridiculousness,” wanted to be transparent about her decision to undergo what she called a “very serious procedure.” She described the liposuction as even more challenging than a C-section and giving birth. “Honestly, it was literally more rough than getting a C-section and giving birth,” she shared.

Chanel also noted that many women aren’t open about such procedures, which could have influenced her decision if she had known how tough it would be.
“But I wanted to be open about that and show people that yes, I’m getting this procedure, and it’s going to help me be skinny faster. But it’s also rough and a lot to deal with.”
She added.
Despite the popularity of Ozempic and similar drugs, some users have reported side effects like diarrhea. Chanel’s openness about her experience offers a different perspective on weight loss post-pregnancy.
“The West Coast Hustle” premieres Thursday, July 18, at 9 p.m. ET on MTV, and will also be available for streaming on Hulu. Chanel’s candidness about her journey reflects her commitment to authenticity, both on-screen and off.
