Legit.ng compiled some reactions as Nigerians dragged Doctor Torngee Malu over his video about BBL. Here are comments below:
@ _ray_davies commented:
"Yea right! Anything to promote your work?"
@princess_dudugirlie reacted:
"bbl is not safer than an appendix surgery pls get lost."
@ei_etinosa commented:
"Well CS is an essential life-saving surgery, and BBL is not, so do not compare the two of them. Most times, CS is done as the only way out to save both the mother and baby, while BBL is simply vanity. "
@_nne_bekeeyy stated:
"As a healthcare professional, it’s honestly embarrassing to hear a doctor say a BBL is safer than a cesarean section. A C-section is a medically necessary procedure performed to save lives. A BBL is an elective cosmetic surgery that has been widely discussed in medical circles for its serious risks."
@icedorin shared:
"You will never recommend it for your wife."
