Businesswoman and lifestyle influencer Laura Ikeji has discussed some of her worries about getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Laura Ikeji stated in a video posted on her Instagram page that she had considered the surgery on several occasions but finally decided against it out of concern for possible side effects.
The lifestyle influencer acknowledged that she had once even paid for the procedure but had cancelled before it was due.
The mother of three acknowledged that a major factor in her decision-making process was her dread of not waking up from anaesthesia.
Despite her initial plans, Ikeji revealed that she could not go through with the procedure, even after having her last child.
She expressed admiration for women who have undergone similar surgeries, questioning how they manage to confront the risks involved.
In her words:
“This question is for all of you who have gotten your bodies done. Every year, I’ll say ‘This year, I’ll get my body done, let me have my son first’. So, I had my son and immediately after that, I said let’s get this body done”.
“Three years later, I had my daughter and I said the same thing. That was during COVID and I know a lot of girls who did it during that time. At some point, I even paid a plastic surgeon to get my body done and I never showed up”.
“Now I’ve had my last child and I still don’t wanna get my body done. Those of you who have actually gotten your body done, how did you do it? How did you walk into the hospital knowing that if they give you anaesthesia, you’re gonna sleep and it’s by the special grace of God that you’ll wake up?”
