SZA recently appeared on the "S.H.E. MD" podcast to discuss her cosmetic procedures.

It goes without saying that SZA is a certified stunner, but even she found herself going under the knife at one point in her life. Unfortunately, however, the procedure she had didn't come without a cost. During an upcoming appearance on the S.H.E. MD podcast, the songstress opens up about getting breast implants and eventually deciding to get them removed.

PEOPLE got an exclusive preview of the new episode, in which SZA reveals that she's at high risk for breast cancer, due to both her mother and aunt's previous diagnoses. Because of her family history, she says that she has a 53% chance of developing the disease.

Aside from that, SZA also suffers from fibrosis, thickening and scarring of connective tissue. “When I got my boobs done, my doctor took out some of my fibrosis, but... there was so much fibrosis. It was cr*zy... And he took it out. And so, when I went back, a lot of the concerns were gone," she explains. "I have markers in my breast, like metal markers in my breast for these fibrosis, for these lumps or whatever, I'm not supposed to be getting breast implants."

Ultimately, she decided to get them removed due to the pain the implants were causing her. “So basically, I put them in. They ended up hurting me,” she describes. “I got way too much scar tissue because my breasts are too dense and I'm not supposed to have breast implants. And so I ended up getting extra fibrosis like with tissue, whatever, and I didn't feel good and it was painful. So, I took them out, and now, they're just my boobs.” What do you think of SZA's explanation for removing her breast implants? What about her opening up about her mother's breast cancer diagnosis?
