Mia Khalifa 's lived an eventful few years since swiftly leaving the adult film industry . Her story about her experience in the industry pulled back the curtain on some of the business practices and how only a few months in front of a camera can affect your entire life . Khalifa is still working to have her old videos and images removed from various sites online, earning support from fans with the #JusticeForMia hashtag on social media.
The former actress also shared that she received a new new nose in the past year, a $15,000 investment in herself that made the nose smaller through a scarless procedure. According to TMZ , the procedure was done by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar. Khalifa shared a look at her nose and praised Dugar on Instagram, with TMZ adding some looks at the nose without the bandages.
"THIS IS THE REAL RE-BRAND," the former adult actress wrote on Instagram. "[Dr. Deepak Dugar] just changed my life and I couldn't be happier or more ready for 75+ people to stare at my side profile at my wedding...P.S. being transparent about this was never a question. Do not idolize the women you see on social media and base your self worth on comparisons that are unrealistic. If you've ever looked at my boobs and wished yours look like that, please remember mine are made out of the same material as the spatula in your kitchen drawer."
Dugar shared looks at the new nose on his Instagram account, using the procedure and Khalifa as a selling point for the procedure. The pair of videos posted by Dugar highlighted "the concepts of beauty" and the stigma that surrounds plastic surgery.
According to TMZ , the nose job was a long time in the making. Khalifa reportedly has wanted to address her nose since age 14 and considered it one of her significant insecurities. With her Instagram post, she celebrated the successful procedure and how it will change her wedding day. She also made clear that she only wanted to "soften" her nose, not ditch her "strong, middle eastern nose."
Khalifa is engaged to chef Robert Sandberg , with the pair celebrating their anniversary together earlier in June. While there is still a lot of work to be done for the former adult performer, it seems that the tides are changing and Khalifa speaking out has helped make it a more comfortable conversation.

When Mia Khalifa, 28, looks back at her younger self, she sees a woman who was struggling with confidence.
“I was looking to other people to put value on myself. I was looking for validation in every crevice that I could, without actually doing internal work,” Khalifa tells Yahoo Life.
At 21, Khalifa spent three months in the adult film industry — starring in 12 films that today have garnered more than a billion views on Pornhub. Her ascent in the industry was quick, and featured a controversial video in which she wore a hijab during a scene. Death threats from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria followed, and Khalifa decided to exit the industry. She now refers to that period of her life as a “lapse in judgment” that was never meant to last.
“I was naive, vulnerable, and malleable. Very easily talked into things, especially if it was by a man,” she says.
Now Khalifa is speaking out about her experience in the adult film industry and the path that led her there. The influencer and content creator is vocal about the exploitation she experienced and hopes her story can shield other women from going through the same. “What I can take away from this is protecting other women and being a cautionary tale,” says Khalifa.
Born in Lebanon, Khalifa and her family moved to the United States in 2001. They settled in Montgomery County, Md., where Khalifa says she struggled with fitting in, especially after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
“I tried so hard to be white for so long,” she says. “All of these little red flags that led to internalized racism, which I did not work through until I went into therapy at age 25. Growing up in an area like that was difficult for someone who was Middle Eastern. America's views on Middle Eastern people changed completely after 9/11.”
High school was tough for Khalifa, who lacked confidence and battled low self-esteem. “I was overweight and I didn't really have very many friends. I didn't look like everyone else who was around me and that led me into a relationship that I should not have entered. And those were the steps that led me to the adult industry.”
Khalifa made just $1,000 per scene, or $12,000 total, for the films she starred in. Today those videos have earned millions of dollars, but due to the contract she signed, Khalifa makes no money on the backend. She also has no ownership of the videos and images that exist of her online — content that she is fighting to have removed.
“I don't think anyone who doesn't have a legal background fully understands what those contracts say. There's so much jargon and there are so many loopholes and just roundabout ways of expressing things, that it's predatory, to say the least,” says Khalifa.
“It makes me feel infuriated because it's so out of my control. There's only so much fight I want to put into it without also sacrificing my mental health, but it's also not something I'll ever fully give up on because that's basically like putting the nail in my own coffin.”
One way that Khalifa has reclaimed her power is by controlling her own image and brand on social media. She currently has more than 53 million followers combined on Instagram and TikTok, and says that connecting with other women who have been exploited online has made her feel more empowered.
“TikTok has been better than therapy. The women who tell their stories, who are brave enough to put their face on the internet and share their experiences, that is where my confidence comes from,” says Khalifa. “That's been the biggest key to battling with my own shame — seeing all of these women who have been through things that are a lot worse than I have and come out, like, fighting, with skin under their nails."
In August 2020, after the explosion in Beirut, Khalifa decided to auction off her glasses to raise money for the Lebanese Red Cross . The $100,000 bid from the auction eventually fell through, and to make good on her commitment and raise money, Khalifa launched an account on OnlyFans — the social media service through which content creators receive money from their subscribers or “fans." While it features users from all walks of life, OnlyFans has become known as a safe space for sex workers to post nude or risqué photos and videos.
In the end, she was able to donate more than $160,000 to the Red Cross, and felt encouraged by the potential impact of her new platform.
“I needed to get it to [the Lebanese Red Cross] by any means, and a lot of people had opinions about where the money came from," explains Khalifa, "but I think it doesn't matter where the money is coming from. I needed to get it to [them]."
OnlyFans has not only been profitable for Khalifa, but also allows her to retain ownership of the content she creates. “It's really about the accessibility to just ending it all if I ever feel like it. I love that control," she says.
“What's different about OnlyFans is there's so much more of a connection to the fans. I trust the people who I'm sending my content out to, to the point where even if it leaks, I'm not too worried about it because I'm proud of what I'm putting out there.”
The platform has been good for Khalifa, but she's aware of the impact it can have on young girls, especially those struggling with self-esteem or the pressure to meet impossible beauty standards.
“Don't groom young women on the internet. Like it's not all glam and rainbows and a great time and celebrity status immediately and empowerment. There's a lot more behind it, and it shouldn't be a light decision that you make to go into sex work,” she stresses.
Feeling shame about her past is something that Khalifa carries every day. She can’t go back, she can’t change her path, but she’s engaging in the personal work to learn and grow. She says she's inspired by content creators like BeirutbyDyke , TaniaSafi , Medea.Azouri , MyriamBulous and AsinjustAndrea — people living in Beirut who are fighting to empower women in the Middle East. Their activism inspires Khalifa to keep moving forward.
“Pictures of my butt and cute photos are not what matters, but it's what my fans like, and that helps generate more people,” says Khalifa. “If I can shed light on the things that matter to me and the things that we should be paying attention to in the world, that is my responsibility. I don't deserve a platform if that's not what I'm doing.”

Ex-porn star Mia Khalifa sparked chuckles — and criticism — by announcing that her daughter would need to drop big bucks on fake breasts if she had any hope of resembling her infamous mom.
A video of the controversial skin-fluencer’s sketch about her “future” baby girl had racked up 7.3 million views on TikTok as of Wednesday morning.
In the now-viral clip — captioned “Sorry babes” — the 28-year-old can be seen acting out a discussion between her and her future progeny.
“Mommy I can’t wait to look like you when I get older,” the imaginary daughter says. Khalifa, who boasts 30.2 million followers on the video streaming platform, retorts: “Mommy spent $13,000 on her boobs and $15,000 on her nose — so you better start saving.”
Suffice it to say, the skit had the peanut gallery in stitches with many expressing shock that the retired adult star’s breasts — which were once injured by a hockey puck — were, in fact, enhanced.
“I always thought they were real they look so good in the most respectful way,” exclaimed one online gawker.
“Wait they aren’t real?” another flabbergasted fan chimed in.
Another follower complimented her inflated bosom, writing, “It was a good investment tho.”
Meanwhile, one TikTok pundit compared Khalifa’s potential future brood to that of the (allegedly) body work-loving Kardashians, joking how “they’re most likely gonna all get some form of plastic surgery by 18.”
Still, one critic wondered how Khalifa could afford such expensive alterations after reportedly only making $12,000 as a porn star.
Diehard fans will recall that Khalifa had a meteoric — but not exactly profitable — rise in the adult industry back in 2014. She also generated international headlines for claiming she received ISIS death threats as recently as 2018 over a scene she filmed in a hijab.
“People think I’m racking in millions from porn,” she revealed in 2019 . “I made a TOTAL of around $12,000 in the industry and never saw a penny again after that. Difficulty finding a normal job after quitting porn was… scary.”
Khalifa, a Lebanon native, claimed she only worked in the adult film business for three months, but was — and still is — one of its biggest names. Years after quitting, she was still ranked No. 2 on Pornhub for most searched stars, according to V ice.
“To clarify, I was never promised ‘millions’, nor do I expect it,” Khalifa said. “I’m just clarifying common misconceptions about me, and in turn, about the industry.”
Khalifa added, “I was involved in porn so briefly, but my actions spread like wildfire, and I continue to be ranked (truly baffles me) 5 years after leaving the industry. This is why people think I still perform.”
Meanwhile, it’s still unclear when Khalifa actually got her breast implants — but last year she did reveal that she had u ndergone an expensive rhinoplasty.
It’s not just her body that’s been revamped. Last year, Khalifa received a tidal wave of support from fans after campaigning to have old images and videos removed from porn-sharing sites such as Pornhub.
