Dr Beatrice Nwalie

Q- Cosmetic surgery, are you for or against it?

A-     I’m for reality. Social media creates an unreal reality that a lot of people cannot take breaks.  For instance you see a picture of someone’s face that has already been edited, skin edited and then you go online and see celebrity pictures or friends of 10/20 years ago looking great and  then you start to imagine . Now you already have your insecurities as well all do and are probably familiar with. We keep it on the inside not wanting to share with anybody. And then at the end of the day you want to go do something about you. So that’s why the rate of body enhancement procedures are increasing daily. It wasn’t like this 20 years ago, there wasn’t any social media at the time ,we were  just seeing magazines and even with magazines we used to envy the people in the  magazines. but now, it’s not models, It’s people that you see now, and they look almost perfect.And then you’re wondering, why can’t I be like this? You decide to do something about it. You don’t  realize  that even the so-called people you are thinking are perfect to also have their own insecurities  . And there’s somebody on social media that they’re looking at that they are wondering, – What is the secret to this person?

 

Q- Can you explain the surgical and non-surgical procedure?

A-     If you talk about the body, like things like surgical or non-surgical things. So for the surgical part., I always tell people, it doesn’t matter the surgery you do, be it cosmetic, be it gynecological , be it medical, whatever surgical procedure that is going to be done, the end result of complications most times  is – Death . So when people say oh, I went for a cosmetic procedure and the person dies, they are  only looking at the cosmetic part, they’re not realizing it’s a cosmetic surgery and therefore, as a surgery, the major complication of that surgery is death. But you cant say –  Oh, she was sick. No, Rather you will hear – She didn’t like the way her body was and therefore she went to do something about it and in the process she died. That’s just the thing  about it. It’s like I said a personal decision and if you’re doing it because you saw A or B with a certain figure then you are making a mistake. Do it for yourself and  know you have decided that whatever comes after this I will take it then you have done well.

Q- How can complications be reduced ?

A-     Now reducing the incidence of that major complication like death  is determined by the surgeon you pick who is the surgeon? What is his/her certification, what is the  procedure and rate of success ? These are things  you must, must,  must  ask . Some people are looking for cheap and do not want to spend so much money.

 

Q-     So, why did you decide to specialize in long surgical interventions?

A-     So, I do my clinical meds – Boring. Secondly, I wanted to do something that different than the typical clinics, that is being in the clinic seeing  malaria, hypertension , diabetic patients then afterwards the same people that came for malaria, hypertension and diabetes will come back within a month and complain of the same ailments and one day as the years go by the patient passes . To me, I wasn’t really making any impact. I wanted to do something a bit different and I decided to specialize in aesthetic dermatology and I know people mistake it for a dermatologist.

 

Q- So what is the difference between both ?

A-  Dermatologists go  into residency, and they focus  on internal medicine, and after internal medicine, they  went into skin and  disease of the skin , Now most dermatologists can treat acne, but they cannot cosmetically treat it . What do I mean? The dermatologist will make the acne go away. Of course acne will go but you will be  left with scars and pigmentation or in some cases there will be formation of the scars which  could cause keloid or hypertrophic scar. So when we step into mythology and aesthetics, we’re interested in the final appearance. So we fine tune the body, the skin, the face. So we are interested in the appearance of the person, because we found out that in health, even your appearance can make you sick. You may not have a disease, but you might not be happy with your appearance and that will affect your mental health.

Q- When someone walks into your office and they ask for a body enhancement procedure , What is the first thing you say to them ?  .

A-     I am not a surgeon . but I can guide them. Some people come in for body  enhancements with fillers on their  butt  so I guide them through the procedure before carrying it out without them having to go under the knife .

 

Q- What’s the difference?

A-      Fillers  have a duration period , fat doesn’t. Fat can also be broken down depending on your body’s metabolism . Now it’s more common in European countries where most white people don’t even add weight naturally  but they still want to have a natural curvature.

Q-     fillers, , silicone and fat which is most common

A-     In  Europe.- Silicone but in Nigeria- Fat .

 

Q- Which fades faster?

A-     None , they can last for as much but the thing is that silicone will constantly and  continually give you the same shape but it can shift but fat can dissolve also –  Naturally. When you lose weight. The fat loses ,  when you add weight you can add weight on that particular area but then you can also develop more cellulites. Fat is not a smooth structure but fillers will give you a smooth finish .

Q-Why do you think butt lifts have become increasingly popular over breast implants ?

A-     What is social media promoting these days ? Thin waist and big butts . So that’s why everybody wants it.

 

Q- Do you ever discourage anyone ?

A-     No , or will I say it depends . I will advise you according to the proportion of your body .

I have a lot of women who come to me and say – I just want to do this for myself …If it is needed, of course she will have the procedure done . .But if it wont fit her , I will tell her .

 

Q- Which is more expensive , fillers or fat trans ?

A-     So in America, people are spending over 20,000 to $40,000 and if you compare here in Nigeria, and have girls who spend 3 to 5 million to do with fillers, because they can afford it. So it’s not typical for the average person who is saving  1-2 million  for a BBL.

 

 

Q-     What are popular requests like ?

A-     Well the slimmer girls just want a nicely rounded butt which curvier girls request for the kim Kardashian type of butt . Whatever the request , my advice is do what fits your body type . We have a lot of weird shaped women around and it is no longer appealing .
