Dr. Areej Zulfiqar is a prominent Pakistani cosmetic surgeon and YouTube personality who has a huge digital and social media presence. She hosts podcasts on her YouTube channel and also appears on various television shows to discuss modern cosmetic procedures.
Recently, she appeared on Fiza Ali’s morning show Morning with Fiza, where she opened up about Shagufta Ejaz’s weight loss method and criticized the use of rapid weight-loss injections.
Talking about it, she said, “Yes, higher doses of weight-loss injections can lead to rapid weight loss. The same has happened with Karan Johar, and Shagufta Ejaz did the same. When you are rapidly losing weight and injecting the medicine at home, it’s wrong. Not only this, you also proudly say that you have lost 10 to 15 kg in a month, body fat does not disappear that quickly in such a short period. In fact, you are not only losing fat but also muscle mass. That’s why people often start looking older. When we treat patients with these injections at clinics, patients usually lose only around 4 kg per month, and we also provide collagen and vitamins, which help maintain their appearance. You cannot easily tell if someone is being treated through injections because the process is gradual. Patients often come to me and say that they are injecting themselves at home.” Here is the link to the video:
