Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika has addressed speculation surrounding her recent cosmetic procedure, clarifying why she chose to undergo the surgery in the United States rather than in Kenya. The mother of two unveiled her enhanced upper chest at a glamorous party, prompting fans to question how she healed so quickly after reportedly traveling abroad just days before the reveal.
Preference for Experienced Surgeons
Responding to critics on social media, Vera dismissed claims that the procedure was performed locally. She highlighted her preference for highly experienced surgeons in the US, noting their extensive track records and advanced expertise. “Why would I even want to do it in Kenya when I have a five-year USA visa and there are surgeons there who have done over 15,000 surgeries with over 20 years’ experience? Show me one surgeon in Africa with this portfolio, then maybe I can consider them next time,” she explained.
Privacy and Discretion
Privacy concerns were another factor in her decision. Vera noted that undergoing surgery in Kenya could have led to leaks before she fully recovered. “If I did it in Kenya, I think they would have been launched long before I healed because you can never keep a secret. Even the hospital security would send the tea to blogs,” she said. She emphasized that her comments were not a critique of local doctors but reflected the level of expertise and discretion available abroad.
Careful Planning and Recovery Timeline
Vera revealed that the cosmetic procedure had been completed two months before publicly unveiling her new look, ensuring she was fully healed before sharing it. “By the time I announced my New York trip, I had already healed. I would never announce cosmetic surgery in real time because there are people who might even wish harm in the theatre. I am not dumb to do that,” she explained.
To substantiate her timeline, Vera shared videos from luxury destinations showing she had already undergone the surgery. She maintained discretion even with friends, highlighting the careful planning behind her reveal.
Fan Reactions and Milestones
Fans responded positively, praising Vera’s ability to afford world-class treatment and maintain privacy. The post-surgery party also doubled as a celebration for her new twins, marking both a personal and social milestone.
Vera Sidika’s approach demonstrates a blend of careful planning, trust in expert care, and attention to privacy, explaining why she opted for cosmetic enhancement in the United States rather than locally.
