I genuinely believe all human beings are beautiful if we only eat right, drink water, exercise regularly and smile more. Sad that our beautiful Somali qalanjos think so lowly of their bodies so as to seek body modification.
Really? Black women have a low Plastic surgery rate for their population. I’m not surprised that it’s bbls they’d want.
I miss the good old days when plastic surgery was prohibitively expensive for the common person. Now you have people risking their lives as medical tourists in developing countries merely for some social media validation. I presume most of those who die from these procedures have fat grafts injected into a muscle and go for lower-budget options. Only to succumb to a fatal pulmonary embolism.
These people are not thinking of their quality of life years later. Even the inveterate plastic surgery addict Kim Kardashian is trying to shrink her infamous diaper booty.
I do not know what Kanye was thinking when he encouraged his wife to get it done.I miss the good old days when plastic surgery was prohibitively expensive for the common person.

I blame the increasing trend in this surgery (disproportionately among women of colour) due to social media influencers and reality tv contributing to this exaggerated frame's popularity. I think aiming for an aesthetic because it's on trend will come back to haunt you when you become an ayeeyo. Gravity comes for everyone. Imagine a paralyzed face from excessive botox and a dislocated hip from an old BBL.
Will you be as angry about these procedures being haram as you are about FGM being equally haram? Where are Somali fathers to protect their daughters from FGM which is a haram practice?
She was a plastic surgery addict well before him.
Beauty ideals are subject to flux and flow. What was acceptable in size 20 years ago has radically changed. Athleticism was emphasized in the 2000s-2010s. This was displaced by the Instagram baddie generation of the 2010s-2020s. Essentially the inflated lips, narrow waist, and unnatural curves. No offense but the current aesthetic looks somewhat inflamed. Even in certain subcultures, an AA woman from the 90s or 00s would be seen as too thin and toned by today's standards.
She's quite young. Sorry to hear that she's insecure about her appearance. I suggest she shut off her socials and possibly consider therapy.
Thank you. I'm far from young, but Alx, Somali genes come in handy. I feel we can maximize what were have from proper sleep, hydration, and nutrition. Even then, some are very lucky. My older cousin is 50+ and looks 30. She started having kids in her 40s and is still quite thin. Mash'Allah.
God-fearing ones you mean. Don't think it's about modesty per say, as i've seen covered abaya wearing Arab women get boob and bbl procedures to impress husbands or maybe for their own self-esteem. A covered/modest woman might not want to impress the masses, but they're still susceptible to social media standards and want to look good for themselves or partner.
That's what I read ,maybe it's the pressure or stereotype that all BW have big futo's so those women who are flat want those "black" features aswellReally? Black women have a low Plastic surgery rate for their population. I’m not surprised that it’s bbls they’d want.
Maybe, but I think it’s the ones who looks sloppy. Like they are heavy and don’t want the stomach fat or they don’t exercise so their bum isn’t looking too great. No exersice with a big bum can look disastrous so they get a lift.That's what I read ,maybe it's the pressure or stereotype that all BW have big futo's so those women who are flat want those "black" features aswell
