Big Brother Naija reality star and disc jockey, Tolani Shobajo, popularly known as Tolanibaj, recently opened up about her contemplation of undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery but ultimately deciding against it due to fears of potential risks. In a revealing episode of the Bahd And Boujee Podcast, co-hosted by Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe, she shared her thought process during that period.
Tolanibaj expressed her initial desire for a BBL but grappled with concerns about the potential risks, specifically the fear of mortality. She candidly shared her internal dialogue, questioning whether the desire for such a procedure was genuinely for her own satisfaction or influenced by societal standards.
Reflecting on the pressure to conform to certain beauty ideals, Tolanibaj’s co-host, Moet Abebe, expressed weariness about the prevalence of a particular aesthetic. Tolanibaj echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that opting for a BBL should be a personal choice, conducted by a reputable professional, and not driven by societal expectations.
Her words highlight the complexities surrounding body image, societal standards, and the personal journey towards self-acceptance in an era where cosmetic enhancements are increasingly common.
