I spoke about caution in the ongoing BBL trend at the Honest Bunch podcast and cited the following things
1. BBL is not a cosmetic makeup procedure where you have it done today and tomorrow you go clubbing. It’s a major life changing surgery that changes your life.
2. There are complications that come with this procedure. People even die from the surgery. And there are more unqualified people doing it here than qualified ones. Do your research!
3. No one is saying that you can’t do what you want with your body, do what you want for yourself, but you must do with the full information - the financial burden, the health complications during and after the surgery, and the cost physically, mentally, and financially.
4. A BBL will not fix existing mental health issues around low self esteem and other mental health challenges. For many, mental therapy is all they need before lying down on the surgeons bed for the surgery.
5. Stop gaslighting people with tummy teas and waist trainers when you have done a BBL. That is medical gaslighting and you should be arrested.
6. If a BBL is cheap, your life is the discount.
I thank the people at HBP for having me. Looking forward to more healthy conversations to promote health literacy.
