Celebs/ influencers who have done cosmetic procedures: For the past few years, the rise of plastic surgery among local celebrities has been significant, as many have been showing their post-op journey on social media. Khanyi Mbau got a facelift, Shamiso Mosaka and Thuli Phongolo did a BBL, Amanda du Pont had a breast augmentation, Cyan Boujee did a breast lift, BBL and gastric sleeve. While Gogo Skhotheni had a tummy tuck, liposuction and filled her hip dips, Jojo Robinson underwent 11 surgeries, including a facelift, necklift, tummy tuck, four breast augmentations and many more procedures. Where do celebs/ influencers go under the knife? The go-to location for these surgeries is usually Turkey for many influencers and celebrities; only a few have had their procedures locally. According to an article by "Independent Media Lifestyle', the rise of plastic surgeries among influencers or celebrities is because it is deemed a cheaper alternative, and these international clinics also offer discounts. However, a cheaper alternative comes at a cost since some of these celebrities and influencers end up with botched surgeries, which lead to yet another surgery and more money.
