Lydia Wanjiru questions why those who were mocked for weight are now body-shaming others
By Valerian Khakayi, December 2, 2025Digital content creator and influencer Lydia Wanjiru has fired back at critics targeting her following her recent cosmetic surgery.
Taking to her official Instagram account on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Lydia addressed those who criticise others for their body choices, pointing out the hypocrisy she has observed.
She questioned the double standards she has noticed on social media.
“Also, how is it suddenly those who were getting body shamed and lost weight are the ones currently body shaming others? I’m just living my life how I please and sharing it on the internet. Whoever decides to get influenced, it’s on them,” she wrote.
“To whom it may concern, go get your body in the gym and diet as much as you like, as you sell the plan to those with similar goals as yours. We’ve always congratulated you on your journey, but when it’s our turn, there’s suddenly a problem with what we decide to do with our own bodies? Come on now!” she wrote.
The influencer also called out those who are focusing on her personal choices.
“There are a lot of bad people whose decisions are affecting others’ wellbeing, but you decided to make Lydia’s bbl your favourite problem to solve? Mind-blowing,” she added.
Lydia also tackled misconceptions about her Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery.
“And try to educate yourself a bit on cosmetic surgery, because what do you mean my bbl is silicone and fillers. If you are going to have an opinion, at least get your facts right, because you sound daft,” she added.
Cosmetic procedure
This comes after the influencer opened up about the total cost of her recent cosmetic makeover, saying she spent nearly Ksh1.8 million to complete her liposuction, tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures.
In an Instagram post on Monday, December 1, 2025, during a question-and-answer session with her fans, she explained that the surgeries alone cost between Ksh1 million and Ksh1.2 million, but the full amount rises to about Ksh1.8 million when pre-operation and post-operation care are included.
She shared this information while answering questions about her enhancement journey on her Instagram page. She said she had liposuction, a tummy tuck and a BBL, and explained that the full process needed proper planning from the start to the recovery stage.
