She revealed that she has not always been religious, but has received a calling from God to become a pastor.
When Celina was only 19 years old, she had a BBL and a breast enlargement.
“I decided to get a BBL because I was a very slim girl and always wanted to be in shape.” she said Real.
“I knew since I was 11 that I wanted surgery”

Celina says she loves her BBL but wishes she knew more about the procedure before getting it.
After receiving a calling from God, she decided to set up Beauty HQ, a recovery home for people who have gone abroad for cosmetic surgery.
The center has certified professionals, drivers and chefs to help the women recover safely.
Celina uses her role as a church minister in her business and asks her clients to pray with her.
However, she receives a lot of judgment from people who think she is not qualified to lead worship.
She said: “There are those who condemn me because of the BBL, but there are also those who find it more recognizable for the people I serve.
Celina said that since having her BBL, she has found it difficult to find clothes that fit her.
This can be especially difficult because she feels like she should dress modestly in church.
However, she added that she plans to have a second BBL, in addition to other surgeries in the US future.
“My advice to anyone wanting to have plastic surgery is that it will be absolutely life-changing.
“Make sure it’s something you want to do for yourself and not for someone else.”
What are Brazilian butt lifts and why are they so popular?
Buttock augmentation surgery – known as a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) – is used to make the buttocks look bigger, rounder and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject fillers or place silicone-filled implants.
According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), it is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure, but also one of the most dangerous.
Many patients travel to places like Turkey or seek out unregistered surgeons in Britain and are not given full information about the risks.
BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic procedures – with more than one death per 4,000 procedures.
Because celebrities undergo such surgeries, many women hope to emulate their appearance.
Consultant clinical psychologist Dr Anu Sayal-Bennett, a charter member of the British Psychological Society, said the BBC: “Despite all the talk about body positivity, there is pressure on women – and men too – to look a certain way.”
Many people travel abroad for the procedure because it is cheaper and advertising is “terribly tempting”, combined with the idea of a beach holiday, Dr Sayal-Bennett added.
