Iggy Azalea is celebrating the birth of a man who changed her look forever.
The 26-year-old rapper took to Instagram over the weekend to wish a happy birthday to Dr. Ashkan Ghavami, the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who performed a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty procedure on her. He recently turned 43.
“Happy birthday @DrGhavami,” she wrote, alongside a photo of her standing near Ghavami, who is dressed in a casual long tee.
“It might seem obvious I’d hold the man I owe my fabulous nose and breasts to in high regard,” she said. “But vanity aside; Ash you’re hilarious as hell, talented, eclectic, a progressive thinker & someone who supports women in their choice to do what they want with their OWN bodies (tons of men don’t share that sentiment) So cheers to you! I’m proud to call you my friend.”
Ghavami responded by saying, “Thank you a mill for everything! Your bold confidence is to be respected! My BDay is complete. Those like you who stand apart and trailblaze their own path no matter who tries to block or impede it, ALWAYS come out ahead , most importantly for themselves.”
Iggy had revealed last year she had gotten breast implants and a nose job.
In July, she also shared a photo of her Ghavami, who wore his white lab coat.
Iggy said she had stopped by his office for a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) skin rejuvenation treatment, in which a person’s own blood platelets are injected into their face to stimulate new cell growth. At the time, she credited him for giving her “fabulously perky boobs.”
Iggy said in an interview with Elle Canada earlier this year that “people should be more accepting of the fact that both famous and non-famous women are having cosmetic procedures.”
“That’s just the reality,” she said. “And I think more people need to admit that s–t so it doesn’t have to be so taboo—because we’re all doing it anyway.”
