Despite the negativity, there were also voices of support, reminding everyone that beauty is subjective and personal choice should be respected.

@MalumeRichie joked, “The transformation is not transformationing.” Meanwhile, @Melo_Malebo added a touch of humor with, “When y’all recycle plastics, don’t leave her behind.” While these comments may seem lighthearted, they reflect the broader conversation around cosmetic procedures and societal standards of beauty.
