00:00Nigeria's beauty industry is booming.
00:03The number of people getting cosmetic surgery has greatly increased.
00:07For many, natural beauty isn't appealing enough.
00:11Whether it's getting Brazilian butt lifts, liposuctions or tummy tacks,
00:15young women are risking it all for the perfect body.
00:18So as much as there's risk, if you do your body with a professional surgeon, you'll be okay.
00:28Influencers tend to create seemingly perfect beauty standards.

00:47be beautiful.
00:48It's a problem because it's something that's not realistic.
00:52But most women can't afford expensive surgeries.
00:56Instead, they turn to cheap, unqualified clinics, putting their lives at risk.
