Celina that she loves her BBL but wishes she knew more about the procedure before doing it.
After receiving a call from God, she decided to create Beauty HQ, a recovery home for those who have gone abroad for cosmetic surgery.
The center has licensed professionals, guides and chefs to help women recover safely.
Selina uses the role of a church minister in her business and asks her clients to pray with her.
However, he receives a lot of criticism from people who don’t think he is fit to lead worship.
He said: “There are some who judge me for the BBL, but there are some who find it more relevant to the people I serve.
Celina said that since having her BBL, she has had a hard time finding clothes that fit her.
This can be especially difficult as she feels she must dress modestly for church.
However, he added that he plans to have a second BBL, along with another surgery on the future.
“My advice to anyone who wants to have plastic surgery is that it will definitely be life changing.
“Make sure it’s something you want to do for you and not for anyone else.”
What are Brazilian Bum Lifts and why are they so popular?
Buttock enlargement surgery – known as a Brazilian bum-lift (BBL) – is used to make the bum look bigger, rounder and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler, or insert silicone-filled implants.
It is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure but also one of the most dangerous, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
Many patients travel to countries such as Turkey or seek unregistered surgeons in the UK and are not fully informed of the risks.
BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic procedures – with more than one death per 4,000 procedures.
Because of celebrities undergoing such procedures, many women hope to emulate their appearance.
Consultant clinical psychologist Dr Anu Sayal-Bennett, Chartered Fellow of the British Psychological Society, said the BBC: “Despite the fact that there is so much about body positivity, there are pressures on women—and men, too—to look a certain way.”
Many people travel abroad for the procedure because it is cheaper and the advertising is “terribly seductive”, coupled with the idea of a beach holiday, Dr Sayal-Bennett added.
