💉😱🧠 Shekinah’s Shocking Makeover Sparks Mental Health Fears Among 90 Day Fiancé Fans
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Shekinah Garner is making headlines again—this time not for her tumultuous love story, but for her latest appearance after undergoing extreme cosmetic surgery. Fans are expressing deep concern, with many urging her to seek therapy rather than more procedures, as her post-surgery transformation has left viewers shocked and unsettled.
🧬 A Drastic Transformation
At 43, Shekinah has always been open about her commitment to aesthetic enhancement. Known for her glamorous appearance and strong personality, she’s no stranger to cosmetic tweaks. But her most recent surgery, a Firat Lift Type 1 combined with lower blepharoplasty, has pushed the conversation to a new level.
In a candid video posted online, Shekinah shared details of her recovery process, showing a visibly bruised and swollen face, surgical tape, and stitches still healing. The footage sparked an instant reaction from fans—many of whom struggled to recognize her and questioned her state of mind.
“I had to do a double-take. That didn’t even look like her,” one viewer commented. Another wrote, “She was already beautiful—this just looks painful and extreme. She needs support, not more surgery.”
😨 Fans React with Alarm
Reactions on social media have been intense and emotional. While some praised Shekinah for being honest about her cosmetic journey, most comments carried a tone of concern. Terms like “addicted to surgery”, “cry for help”, and “mental health crisis” appeared frequently.
Some viewers went as far as suggesting that Shekinah might be dealing with body dysmorphia, a psychological condition where individuals perceive flaws in their appearance that others don’t see.
“She doesn’t need another facelift. She needs a therapist,” one tweet read, summarizing the sentiment of many. Fans also pointed out that instead of validation, Shekinah’s post-surgery update seemed to reflect vulnerability masked by filters and forced positivity.
💔 The Sarper Factor
Much of the fan concern ties directly to Shekinah’s controversial relationship with her fiancé, Sarper Güven, who appeared alongside her in Season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. The Turkish model and trainer was quickly labeled “controlling” by viewers for his strict expectations of Shekinah’s appearance and behavior.
Throughout the season, Sarper insisted on things like weighing Shekinah regularly, applying her makeup himself, and encouraging—or even pressuring—her to undergo cosmetic procedures. He described himself as a man who expects “perfection,” and Shekinah, though often defending him, seemed emotionally conflicted.
Fans are now wondering: is Sarper fueling Shekinah’s desire for physical transformation?
“It’s hard to watch someone change themselves so drastically to please a partner,” a Reddit user noted. “Sarper wants a doll, not a partner. Shekinah deserves better.”
👁️🗨️ A Cry for Help?
While plastic surgery is becoming more normalized, particularly among public figures, the extent of Shekinah’s recent procedures and the emotional tone of her posts have struck a nerve with fans.
Some have compared her situation to other reality stars who lost themselves under the pressure of staying young, thin, and “camera ready.” The line between self-improvement and self-destruction is thin—and Shekinah seems dangerously close to crossing it.
Others worry that her constant pursuit of external perfection may be a way of avoiding deeper emotional issues. After all, Shekinah has previously shared her struggles with heartbreak, single motherhood, and abandonment. Some wonder if these traumas are now manifesting in her relentless physical transformation.
💬 The Bigger Conversation
Shekinah’s situation has sparked wider conversations about beauty standards, toxic relationships, and the dark side of reality TV fame. It’s not uncommon for stars to feel pressure to maintain a youthful or flawless look—but at what cost?
Mental health advocates are urging fans and the media to approach stories like Shekinah’s with empathy, rather than mockery. “What she’s going through isn’t just vanity—it could be a sign of something deeper,” one mental health counselor commented anonymously.
🕊️ What Comes Next?
As of now, Shekinah hasn’t directly responded to the outpouring of concern. She continues to post updates and maintain a confident front, but fans remain worried.
Whether she chooses to reflect on the feedback or continue on her current path remains to be seen. What’s clear is that her supporters truly care—and hope she finds healing, not just in the mirror, but within herself.
One commenter perhaps said it best: “Real beauty isn’t in a surgeon’s hands—it’s in knowing your worth without changing a thing.”
