NAIROBI, Kenya — Instagram personality Lydia Wanjiru is on the road to recovery after undergoing an arm lift procedure also known as brachioplasty surgery and a second Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
In a candid video update, Wanjiru explained to her followers that the latest procedure involved removing of excess fat from her underarms, which was then strategically transferred to her buttocks and hips.
She also addressed critics of her earlier surgery, urging netizens to exercise patience and allow the healing process to take its course.
The update comes shortly after she shared a video offering a glimpse into her recovery journey, providing insight amid ongoing online scrutiny comparisons with other public figures, including Pritty Vishy.
According to the influencer, the outcome of her procedure is largely influenced by her natural body structure prior to surgery.
“I’m coming from nothing compared to these other personalities like Pritty Vishy and Porsha,” Lydia Wanjiru said in a video.
“If my target was their exact body shape, I would be complicating things and possibly risking my life.”
Her remarks came shortly after she publicly unveiled her ‘new body’ online, which triggered mixed reactions across social media platforms.
While some fans praised her confidence and openness about cosmetic surgery, others criticized the results, leading to a wave of trolling and online commentary.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure used to cinch one’s waist and enhance volume and shape of the buttocks by removing fat from other parts of the body through liposuction.
The content creator spoke openly about her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery explaining that it stemmed from long-standing struggles with body image.
In an earlier interview, she revealed that she had consulted doctors about multiple procedures before finally deciding to proceed.
“I wanted liposuction, a tummy tuck, and a BBL. The doctors evaluated me and eventually gave me the go-ahead,” she said at the time.
Responding to critics who mocked the results of her surgery online, Wanjiru maintained a lighthearted tone.
“Some people say it looks like ‘Royco cubes,’ but how exactly is it supposed to look?” she quipped.
