By Katemarthason Okudo, September 4, 2026Kenyan social media influencer Faith Makau, popularly known as Amber Ray, has announced that the day she had been preparing for has finally arrived as she begins her cosmetic surgery journey in Turkey.
Amber Ray shared the update on Instagram on Friday, September 4, 2026, saying she was experiencing mixed emotions as she prepared for the procedure. She said the moment felt different now that the plans she had discussed with her followers had become a reality.

Amber Ray arrives in Turkey
The announcement comes two days after Amber Ray revealed that she had travelled to Turkey to begin her plastic surgery journey.
On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, the influencer announced her arrival in the country through an update shared on social media, expressing excitement after what she described as a long wait.
Her trip followed an earlier announcement in which she revealed plans to undergo breast augmentation surgery as part of what she described as a personal transformation journey.
Her arrival in Turkey therefore marked the next step in the journey she had previously shared with her followers.
Breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed to increase the size, improve the shape or restore the fullness of the breasts.
Amber Ray had previously spoken about looking forward to the changes that would come with the procedure, including the transformation and confidence she hoped to gain.
In her latest post, she also acknowledged that cosmetic surgery is a personal decision and may not be suitable for everyone. “For me, this is something I chose for MYSELF, and I’m excited to take you guys along on the journey,” she wrote.
She added that she intended to share the experience beyond the polished images often associated with cosmetic procedures. “The real parts too, not just the cute before and after,” she added.
Thanking those supporting her journey
As she prepared for the procedure, Amber Ray also acknowledged those who had helped with her trip to Turkey.
The influencer has now moved from announcing her plans to documenting the actual procedure, giving her followers a closer look at a decision she says she made for herself.
Her latest update also signals the beginning of the next stage of her cosmetic surgery journey, which she has chosen to share publicly with her audience.
