The quote
“Every time I would go to a shoot, they're like, 'Oh, can we put some [eye masks] on her?' And I was like, 'Oh, baby, I had 12 hours [of sleep] last night, these aren't going away. These are just hereditary.' So it's something that I wanted to fix.”
Context
She said she and her family have always had what she calls the "Biles eye bags" and had the lower blepharoplasty along with a breast augmentation and earlobe reconstruction, all first mentioned in an October 2025 TikTok video.

The procedure
Lower eyelid surgery
In Simone Biles' words: “Lower blepharoplasty”
Lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions the fat that bulges under the eye and removes excess skin when present (PMID 37531619). It is done mainly for appearance: bags, circles or a tired look under the eyes (PMID 37531619).
