A
Nigerian
influencer
has
introduced
a
new
term,
“Christian
BBL,”
to
explain
a
surgical
procedure
that
she
had,
leaving
many
online
confused.
According
to
Complex,
the
Internet
was
ablaze
this
week
as
Sophia
Idahosa,
known
to
her
followers
as
Sophiology,
posted
a
video
to
her
YouTube
channel
to
explain
getting
a
surgical
procedure
that
she
referred
to
as
a
“Christian
BBL.”
In
the
39-minute
video,
Idahosa
explained
the
procedure
to
viewers
beginning
with
her
visit
to
Houston
cosmetic
surgeon
Dr.
Jung
Money
to
get
liposuction
and
a
fat
transfer
to
her
hips.
She
then
connected
the
procedure
to
her
commitment
to
Christianity
and
addressed
those
making
comments
questioning
her
thinking
behind
this
for
being
“judgmental”
and
“projecting
their
beliefs.”
“I
have
never
presented
myself
to
be
[a]
holy,
perfect
example,”
Idahosa
said
at
the
6:30-minute
mark
of
the
video.
“I’ve
always
vouched
for
the
girls
that
love
God
and
are
not
accepted
by
others.”
The
29-year-old
had
been
hit
with
comments
calling
out
her
behavior.
Later
in
the
video,
she
stated
that
“having
surgery
is
one
thing,
but
aftercare
is
everything.”
In
a
separate
video,
she
explained
further
saying:
“I’m
not
personally
that
person.
I’m
here
for
anything
that
makes
you
look
better,
feel
better,
have
more
confidence
and
just
enjoy
your
life.”
Her
use
of
the
“Christian
BBL”
phrase
had
many
online
perplexed
and
expressing
as
much
in
posts
on
X,
formerly
known
as
Twitter.
“I’ve
been
screaming
at
the
idea
of
a
Christian
BBL
for
the
last
13
hours,”
wrote
one
user.
Others
who
commented
jabbed
her,
with
one
YouTube
commenter
saying,
“Leave
religion
out
of
it.
You
have
the
free
will
to
be
vain
if
that
is
what
you
want.”
Another
X
user
posted
a
meme
featuring
Blac
Chyna
(who
has
recently
undergone
surgery
to
reduce
her
butt
and
breasts)
superimposed
in
front
of
a
large
cross,
making
fun
of
the
term.
A
Brazilian
Butt
Lift,
or
BBL,
has
become
a
common
surgical
procedure
for
women
who
want
to
be
curvier,
particularly
around
their
hips.
According
to
WebMD,
there
were
21,823
BBL
surgeries
done
in
the
U.S.
in
2020.
That
number
dropped
from
28,076
in
2019,
but
research
suggests
that
the
COVID-19
pandemic
contributed
to
the
decline.
It’s
also
regarded
as
a
dangerous
procedure,
as
a
report
from
the
Aesthetic
Surgery
Journal
noted
that
there
were
one
to
two
fatalities
for
every
6,000
of
those
BBL
surgeries,
the
highest
such
rate
among
cosmetic
surgeries.
