A well-known blogger and TV host, Victoria Bonya, recently opened up on Instagram about her stance on plastic surgery. The social media post touched on her evolving view around cosmetic procedures and the influence of medical advice in high-profile careers. In her messages, Bonya explained that her surgeon has repeatedly urged her not to proceed with any operation, even going so far as to try to cancel the procedure on three separate occasions. The medical professional reportedly believes that surgery is unnecessary for her at this time.
Bonya described the back-and-forth as a cautious dialogue. She recalled saying, “Please, please, you haven’t seen me in person yet. Wait, you’ll see me live.” She added that she managed to persuade the surgeon to keep the plan on hold, with the doctor responding with a lighthearted note in the mix of their conversation.
On July 1, Bonya revealed plans to pursue a cosmetic procedure with the model Bella Hadid’s aesthetic influence in mind. Specifically, she expressed an interest in achieving the “fox eyes” look similar to Hadid’s signature appearance. The TV personality admitted she was anxious about the possibility of surgery and signaled a tentative timeline, mentioning a potential procedure in Los Angeles later in the year. While not confirming a date, the post suggested the intention to move forward in late summer or early fall.
Earlier in July, Bonya shared a financial update related to cosmetic work. She posted a payment record totaling more than $171,000 for a pending procedure, noting that the listed amount did not include accommodation or anesthesia fees. In total, the blogger reported an expense of around $215,000, with discounts applied to certain services. She cautioned that the overall cost of the surgery could rise to as much as $250,000 depending on adjustments or additional services requested by the surgeon.
In related industry news, fellow TV personality Larisa Guzeeva previously spoke about her own hesitations with cosmetic procedures, admitting apprehension about undergoing surgery.
