Laura Ikeji On Plastic Surgery Speculations

Laura Ikeji joined “The Real Housewives of Lagos” in season 1 in 2022.

Laura Ikeji, a social media influencer, once shared a photo on Instagram of a new chin she’d just gotten, and probably didn’t expect the backlash she’s received since then. In the said post, the real housewife revealed she had just acquired a new chin and published a video while still at the doctor’s office, pleading with social media followers not to bully her. “I bought a new chin from @iamdrbea. Please respect yourselves and don’t abuse me. This is my page,” she captioned the post.

Many fans, on the other hand, did not find acquiring a new chin amusing and thought it was a waste of money. Some even questioned why celebrities with so much money would refuse to assist the poor. Laura then, responded to critiques on social media by stating that fillers are not the same as cosmetic surgery and that, contrary to popular belief, she has never had any plastic surgery on her body. She went on to say that any toxic individual who has a negative attitude toward her wonderful vibes should leave her alone while she enjoys her solitude.

“Fillers aren’t the same as plastic surgery guys! naija naija! God knows I’m so American for these people,” she said in response to the rumors, adding, “Yo! people are legit mad about me getting fillers like.. something that would come off in months.”
