Bodies are allowed to change. You’re allowed to want to change yours. You also deserve the truth about how.

In this episode

  • What GLP-1 weight-loss injections do, who they are prescribed for, and the risks of buying them online
  • Why waist trainers don’t permanently reshape anything
  • The BBL: what it involves, why it has a high complication risk, and red flags in “cheap packages”
  • How to check that a surgeon is a registered plastic surgeon in Kenya

Key takeaways

  1. Prescription drugs need a prescriber. Injections bought online may be fake or wrongly dosed.
  2. Check credentials. Ask where your surgeon trained and confirm their registration with the KMPDC.
  3. If the price is shocking, ask what corners are being cut.
