In the ever-changing world of 90 Day Fiancé, drama doesn’t end when the cameras stop rolling. The show is known for spotlighting couples with complicated love lives—and sometimes even more complicated off-screen transformations. The latest cast member to turn heads is Shekinah Garner from Season 11.

Shekinah recently shared her latest cosmetic procedures on Instagram, revealing a Type 1 Firat Lift and a lower blepharoplasty. Her recovery process, shown in graphic detail, quickly drew mixed reactions.

With her face swollen, bruised, and wrapped in bandages, fans had a lot to say. One user also went as far as saying,

“Yikes...doesn't even resemble a human anymore.”

Some were shocked, while others were supportive. And just like many moments in 90 Day Fiancé, this one sparked serious online debate.


Shekinah’s surgeries spark strong reactions from 90 Day Fiancé fans

The reactions from 90 Day Fiancé fans were swift, and intense. Many took to the comments to share their concern for Shekinah’s physical and mental well-being. Some questioned why she felt the need to go through with the procedures in the first place.

Her recovery process, shown in graphic detail, quickly drew mixed reactions. In a caption that was as revealing as the video itself, she wrote:

“Probably just needed a hug but got a Firat Lift Type 1 and lower blepharoplasty instead.”

On which, a fan commented:

“Should’ve just asked for a hug…”

Another commenter added,

“Self hate is a helluva drug 😒”

A third simply asked,

“This is just sick....why???”

Videos of the post-op process, including one where a doctor slowly peels away bandages to reveal stitches and swelling, only added to the controversy. While Shekinah was clearly in the middle of recovery, the visible bruises and swelling didn’t sit well with much of the 90 Day Fiancé fanbase.


Not everyone is judging Shekinah’s transformation

Amid the flood of harsh criticism, a few fans came to Shekinah’s defense. For some, the procedures were her choice, and that was all that mattered.

“This looks painful but I love the result!!”

one supporter commented.

Another fan complimented her look and even asked for details, writing:

“Who did your surgery? I think you look great!!!!!”

This divide between critics and supporters is nothing new in the 90 Day Fiancé world. Over the years, fans have both celebrated and condemned cast members for their post-show lifestyle choices. Shekinah’s case just happens to be one of the more dramatic examples.

Still, the comments highlight how personal appearance decisions can become public conversations when you’re part of a hit reality show like 90 Day Fiancé.


Shekinah reveals her long history with plastic surgery

If anyone thought this was Shekinah’s first round of surgery, they were in for a surprise. She’s been candid about her cosmetic journey and openly listed the many procedures she’s had in the past.

“I did have two facelifts, two neck lifts, a brow lift, an upper blepharoplasty, I've had lip injections, I've had consistently had Botox, I've had two nose jobs,”

she shared.

“I've had two boob jobs, I've had a lot of surgeries but most of them were on my face. My breasts were my only body surgery.”

Her honesty stands in contrast to some reality stars who downplay or avoid the topic altogether. In a space like 90 Day Fiancé, where many cast members gain huge online followings, Shekinah’s openness adds a layer of transparency that some fans appreciate, even if they don’t always agree with her choices.


Fans question whether the surgeries were necessary

The online conversation wasn’t just about the visuals. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans questioned the emotional motivation behind Shekinah’s decision. Her caption,

“Probably just needed a hug but got a Firat Lift Type 1 and lower blepharoplasty instead,”

led some to wonder if the surgery was more emotional than cosmetic.

It wasn’t just the look that had people concerned, it was the “why.” Her openness about undergoing multiple surgeries stirred debate about self-esteem, body image, and what fame does to people.

Some fans believe reality TV stars feel pressure to maintain certain beauty standards. Others argue that repeated surgeries can become addictive. In Shekinah’s case, the 90 Day Fiancé audience seemed divided down the middle.
