"Do not get me wrong. I am not against anyone doing the above. Do what is okay for you. Although hard work does feel great, the discipline you cultivate! The mindset seems positive because of high dopamine and serotonin levels. What am I saying? Body movement is ideal. Please get to know your body through each step," said the fitness enthusiast.
But to each his own, in a tell-all interview with celebrated online broadcaster Eve Mungai, influencer and self-proclaimed Queen of the Streets - Shakilla - shared details of her drastic body change.
"I went to Luxury Body Spa, and I am not a person to go to the gym all through - it gets tiring. They do non-invasive non-surgical lipo, so they trimmed the fat in my arms and it is just beautiful," she said.
When probed about her tummy tuck and the transformation, her rebuttal was "My body is my weapon, my body is my bank account. Even when I get old, Luxury Body Spa will still be there. I will look like Kim Kardashian. I will not take care of myself, others will do that for me," she said.
"We all have insecurities; we all have parts of us that we would want to change. It should not be an issue if someone wants to get some work done to feel more confident in themselves. I fear going under the knife, that is probably why I prefer going to the gym," says DJ Kaneda.
Artiste Tanya Ruguru also neutrally reflects on the issue: "I have nothing against it; everybody has the right to do whatever they want with their body as long as it makes them happy. Although it is also a gamble when you are doing work to your body because of trends that appear in the media, because those trends will pass and completely new trends will appear so it may be difficult and painful to keep up with them."
Dr Judith appeals to celebrities to get educated before going for these practices.
"As a counselling psychologist, I would like the client to be well informed and prepared on the procedure," she says.
She goes on to sensitise the importance of meditating and critical thinking before making such a drastic choice.
"I would encourage the client to meet with the medical team doing the procedure together with their support team to discuss pre-surgery, during surgery and post-surgery. To understand the pros and cons of the procedure including the expected and non-expected outcomes.
Fully understand the aftercare of the procedure - will s/he need to have other procedures to maintain the desired outcome? And most important, is the cost financially, psychologically and time."
