Following the death of Lucy Wambui Ng’ang’a after a botched surgery at Body by Design cosmetic clinic, socialite Vera Sidika has admitted that what has been shared online about the clinic is just a drop in the ocean.
Vera warned those who are interested in enhancing their bodies through cosmetic surgeries and procedures to conduct thorough research first.
“The number of horror stories that have come from that facility. What’s online is just the surface. I’ve heard stories crazy stories. Please do your research before entrusting anyone with your life. If you got to do this go for board certified surgeons with a lot of experience,” the mother of two said , suggesting that one should opt for those with 15 year experience and thousands of successful surgeries.
At the same time, she made clarification about her recent face procedure saying that it wasn’t a cosmetic one.
“Some people need exposure. I got fillers. They are temporary. They last for 9 months then dissolve,” she said.
According to her she had been doing research about fillers since 2023 before giving it a try.
Lucy Wambui, the wife of a city car dealer is said to have succumbed days just after embarking on a cosmetic surgery at Body by Design.
“She was in pain and was discharged home from Body By Design on 22nd but the pain became unbearable the same day and she went back only to find no doctor and was then rushed to another hospital where her condition was so bad she went for surgery to try and clean the tummy where they found the intestines were perforated 5 times,”Jamal Rohosafi’s ex-wife, Amira revealed.
Currently, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council has closed down Body by Design, following Lucy’s death.
The clinic on the other hand has pledged to work with relevant authorities to establish the cause of the tragedy.
