UK-Nigeria doctor @OurFavOnlineDoc shared footage of a plastic surgeon performing a BBL on a patient dissatisfied with her previous results, despite visible asymmetry and cellulite; the surgeon noted it would make her feel better about herself. The video quickly drew thousands of likes and reposts, with reactions mixing disgust, crying emojis, and questions about why women endure such procedures for male attention or self-esteem. BBLs, once the fastest-growing cosmetic surgery with over 825,000 done worldwide in 2022, carry a high mortality rate of about 1 in 3,000 from fat embolisms, prompting urgent warnings and calls for bans after recent deaths like one in Lagos.
