However, Sidika has clarified that the procedure was not a cosmetic surgery as majority of her many fans concluded.
The Instagram model in a statement on November 1 said that she instead underwent a dermal filler injection, popularly known as a facelift.
This is a temporary procedure that adds volume to the face and smooths out wrinkles using injectable substances to make one appear younger and more youthful.
In the procedure, a flap of skin is pulled back on each side of the face where excess skin is removed, and the tissues beneath changed.
“I did not get cosmetic surgery on my face Some People need exposure for real. I got fillers. They are temporary and last 9 months then dissolve,” Sidika clarified.
According to its website, MCR Aesthetics where Vera underwent the procedure is an aesthetics clinic based in Manchester which offers a wide range of advanced aesthetics and anti-ageing treatments.
MCR Aesthetics is renowned for its ability to help people enhance their features and make them look and feel their best through procedures such as lip increase, cheek augmentation, and anti-wrinkle.
Other procedures offered include non-surgical rhinoplasty, jawline augmentation, nose-to-mouth lines and lip flips among others.

Her latest procedure continues this trend, showcasing her commitment to evolving her appearance and maintaining her status as a beauty icon.
