Singer and social media influencer Queen Naija is one of the latest of many celebrity women coming out publicly to admit she regrets getting a Brazilian butt lift, better known in the cosmetic world circles as a BBL.
In a recent clip that surfaced on social media, the 27-year-old was asked whether she wishes she could reverse the procedure.
“I’m scared to say this,” she said before taking a long pause. “I didn’t think it was going to do that much. I should’ve just gotten like the tummy tuck and some shots.”
Commenters began to weigh in on the controversial yet popular procedure, with some stating that BBLs are becoming a fading trend that is slowly becoming a thing of the past.
“They told her not to…it’s starting to go out of style now,” one commenter wrote.
“I feel so bad for insecure women in this generation. Know your worth and love the skin you’re in. Nothing will make you perfect,” wrote another.
The Michigan native weighed in in the comment section as well stating, “I hated my hip dips & c-section belly. So I got surgery. Now I dislike how all my weight gain goes to my booty and hips. Either way, I disliked something. Can’t be perfect y’all. I would get it reduced but the risk of getting put to sleep again is scary.”
BBLs have grown increasingly widespread over the recent years but have been condemned for its hazardous side effects and have been linked to several deaths.
The Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation in Aesthetic recently revealed that two out of every 6,000 BBLs lead to death. Three percent of the 692 surgeons surveyed confessed that their patient had died during the controversial BBL procedure.
But many women are still paying for the highly-requested surgery that runs anywhere between $3,000 and $30,000.
Some women have come forward about their regret of getting the procedure, including Cardi B who said on Instagram Live that she had 95 percent of her butt shots removed over the summer. She had this to say about BBLs.
“Before you get your BBL done, you have to make sure your blood levels are all right,” she recommended. “If a doctor says your blood levels are too low or you have diabetes or whatever, don’t do it.”
An in March of this year, K. Michelle said that she needed to have 13 operations to recuperate from complications from botched butt shots procedures.
