The Brazilian women’s national volleyball team’s middle blocker, Thaisa Menezes, is open about her cosmetic enhancements.
Key Takeaways
- Thaisa Menezes is 37 years old.
- She has been open about her surgeries.
- Thaisa also has many tattoos inked on her body.
Thaisa Menezes, the Brazilian volleyball star, performed impressively at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The 37-year-old middle blocker returned to the Brazilian national team after a 5-year hiatus after retiring in 2018.
Fans of Thaisa and volleyball alike have noticed the drastic changes she has undergone over the years, most notably in her face.
In 2009, Thaisa underwent breast augmentation surgery, opting for silicone implants.
She commented that her post-surgery body made her feel much more confident and beautiful.
Around 2010, she also got a rhinoplasty- a procedure that changes the shape of the nose.
Thaisa also had some facial surgery done, reasoning that she did not like how her face appeared in match videos.
In addition to cosmetic surgeries, Thaisa has many tattoos on her body, the most notable one being the geometric-tribal hybrid full-sleeve on her right arm, which she flaunts proudly in her games.
Watching Thaisa’s almost superhuman-like performance on the volleyball court, it is easy to forget that a real human is behind the athlete.
Her transformation reminds us that even at the highest level of a field, be it sports or otherwise, people we admire and idolize are their own person, with strong personal ideas, choices, and, unfortunately, insecurities.
