Zimbabwean socialite Joyie is reportedly in critical condition after undergoing a botched tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure at a cosmetic clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. According to sources close to her management team, the glamorous influencer had flown to Turkey last week for the highly anticipated makeover, which she had teased on her Instagram stories. However, complications arose during the procedure, leading to internal bleeding and organ distress. She was rushed to intensive care shortly after the surgery and has remained unresponsive since then.
Fans and fellow celebrities across Zimbabwe and the diaspora have flooded social media with prayers and well wishes for the beloved trendsetter, known for her lavish lifestyle and charity work. Joyie had previously spoken out about body positivity but also expressed her personal struggles with image and confidence. Her case has reignited debates about the safety of overseas cosmetic surgeries, with many calling for stricter regulations and better awareness among young women considering similar procedures. As of now, her family is reportedly arranging an emergency medical evacuation to bring her back to Harare for further treatment.
