The well-known Cuban content creator, Pollito Tropical, has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media after posting a photo showing his face noticeably swollen. The image, accompanied by a message that evoked both concern and support, quickly gained traction. "To be beautiful, we must see the stars," he humorously captioned the photo, dressed in a white robe, explaining that the swelling is the result of a recent hair implant procedure.
“Context: I had a hair implant and this is completely NORMAL,” Pollito assured in his post, which has gone viral, amassing thousands of reactions from his followers. Despite clarifying that this is a typical postoperative effect of such cosmetic procedures, many of his followers expressed alarm at his appearance and offered advice for a swift recovery.
Comments flooded in, such as, "My God, I hope you recover soon, I wish you a speedy recovery, truly, you are one of the best for me, your work is really good, many blessings, a big hug"; "Don’t lower your head too much, take lots of rest, don't leave bed, apply plenty of ice, buy papaya and eat a lot of it, and it will go down in two days"; "This is the part of the procedure that no one has ever shown. Get well soon"; "As they say, beauty comes at a cost. You are already beautiful and now you'll feel even more comfortable. If you can, you can. Get well soon, beauty"; "You're brave. But the sacrifice is worth it. Soon you'll look divine. Health and blessings," commented several followers on his Facebook post.
This is not the first time Pollito Tropical has openly shared intimate aspects of his life, including topics related to his personal image, health, and emotional well-being, which has garnered him a loyal and supportive community.
While these types of interventions are becoming increasingly common, they involve recovery processes that can be visibly shocking, as seen in this case. Nonetheless, the influencer aimed to shed light on the reality behind aesthetic beauty.
