Keke Palmer opens up to fans about her adult acne in an Instagram video and calls on plastic surgeons to find a cure

• Keke Palmer called on plastic surgeons in an Instagram video to find a solution to adult acne.
• The "Nope" actress has talked about her struggles with acne in the past.

Keke Palmer says she wants plastic surgeons to find a cure for adult acne in a new video.

The "Nope" actress posted the video to her Instagram page questioning how plastic surgeons are able to do many different types of procedures yet suggesting they should discover a way to transplant skin in order to help patients remain blemish free.

"I was just thinking about the fact that plastic surgeons are amazing, OK? They can give you a boob job, above the muscle, under the muscle, liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, they can even implant muscles, I mean, the list goes on," said Palmer in her video.

"But they cannot figure out how to clear up somebody's skin?" she continued. "Are you kidding me? All these years and all these inventions, you can't figure out how to take the beautiful skin from my ass and put it on my face?"

"People out here with adult acne are struggling and you ain't figured out that cure?" she concluded. "I'm done."

The BBL procedure Palmer refers to is what's known as a Brazilian butt lift, shorthand for a type of full-body makeover that sucks out unwanted fat from the patient's body and injects it into their butt for a larger behind. It's been dubbed the "fastest-growing cosmetic surgery" by The Guardian.

"We want the QUICK FIX as well," Palmer continued in the caption for her post.

"My homegirl's walking out the hospital with a DONK same day," she wrote, referencing the Brazillian butt lift. "I want INSTANT results too … Plastic surgeons, y'all wanna know where the real money at? IN CLEARING UP ACNE."

Palmer wrote in her caption that she's tried other things to try to control her adult acne such as facials and changing her diet, but nothing has worked.

She also acknowledged that some skincare remedies can often neglect to provide solutions for Black people.

"Give us the plastic surgery we're begging for, and make it possible for black skin as well… I need the dual love," she wrote in her caption.

Palmer has been transparent about her struggles with acne for years. In May, she told Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper that she could relate to being "haunted by the pimples" (at the 10:30-minute mark).

Palmer says she has polycystic syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that creates too much of a hormone called androgen and increases inflammation in the skin, leading to cystic acne. She has opened up to fans and media before about trying Accutane and other remedies, even telling People in December 2020 that Tyler Perry offered to pay for her treatments.

"I remember when I was 14 and Tyler Perry pulled my mom aside at the NAACP awards and literally said, 'I would pay for her to go to a dermatologist, to the best dermatologist, to help her with her skin,'" she told the publication.

Palmer described her experiences in the caption of an Instagram post of her bare face full of acne scars on December 1, 2020. She encouraged her followers not to feel alone and think that their acne could hold them back from success.

"To all the people struggling with this please know you're not alone and that you are still so fucking fine! MY ACNE AINT NEVER STOPPED ME," she wrote.
