Laura Treto Responds to Criticism Following Her Cosmetic Surgery: "It's a Shame Women Attack Each Other So Much"

After announcing on social media that she had undergone cosmetic surgery and sharing some of her recovery journey, Laura Treto addressed some of the negative comments she received online. Despite receiving a majority of congratulatory messages, applause for her decision, and well-wishes for a speedy recovery, she also faced criticism and mockery, one of which targeted her voice. Treto decided to respond directly and publicly to these comments.

"It's a shame that women attack each other so much; it's not men, it's women against women without any need. I don't understand, but anyway, I would never write something like that to someone. It's very disrespectful and unnecessary, but I'll respond anyway," she said via Instagram stories before addressing the comment that mocked her voice post-surgery.

"When you undergo general anesthesia, they intubate you, which affects your vocal cords. My voice might not be the same as before because I'm still somewhat affected. On the first day, my voice was completely gone; I couldn't talk because the anesthesia affected my vocal cords significantly. Additionally, the overall weakness from the recovery process means I have a terrible headache. Obviously, I can't be super energetic as if I had a Red Bull, so I'm experiencing some lack of energy," Treto explained before sharing other videos clarifying details of the process to those who were curious.

A day earlier, after her initial post announcing the surgery, Treto responded to a comment lamenting that many actresses not only resort to surgery but also promote it without considering its impact on the self-esteem of other women. She shared her perspective and advice on the matter.

"I personally believe that everyone has the right to be happy. Many women suffer from low self-esteem due to genetic factors, and that's something very private that only the individual knows when they look in the mirror. I don't think it's fair to live like that. There are many types of surgeries and options according to each person's preferences. Yes, it's a risk, but so is life. My advice is to be well-informed and seek the best professionals if you decide to take that step. People should be happy and free to make their own decisions about their bodies," she wrote in the comments of her post.

Aside from these reactions, the actress is recovering well from her procedure, a "lipo fat transfer" (liposculpture with fat transfer), with the support of her mother and the affection of her young daughter Havana, whom she referred to as her "best nurse" in stories featuring a video of the child's tender care.
