Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has revealed that her husband fully supported her decision to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) after witnessing the struggles she faced with her body following childbirth.
The actress and entrepreneur explained that she chose the procedure to regain confidence and protect her mental well-being.
According to Ogbodo, three cesarean sections had altered her shape, prompting her to make changes that would restore her happiness.
Speaking with Saturday Punch, she emphasized that the surgery was a personal choice made for her own satisfaction, not to impress anyone.
She also shared why she decided to speak publicly about the procedure, unlike many celebrities who keep such information private. Ogbodo said she hopes her honesty will encourage other women to pursue self-improvement and take steps that help them feel good about themselves.
While acknowledging the potential risks, the mother of three noted that she felt safe because she was treated by qualified professionals.
She said: “Well, about being naturally endowed, I don’t know how you mean because I didn’t have an hourglass shape. Growing up, I was very busty, but that’s not all beauty entails nowadays. Starting to have babies didn’t help matters for me. I didn’t like what I looked like when I looked back at myself after my third baby. So I felt like I owed it to myself to be happy and confident.
“I had to have work done on myself for me, not for any other person, but for my mental health to feel good, okay, and enough. I am enough competition for myself.
“In this country, I always find it a bit awkward that people are not honest and transparent most times, especially celebrities. You’re a role model, and then you lie to people who look up to you or who love you genuinely. Why are you a shining star when you cannot be a torchbearer for other people?
“I am somebody who likes to encourage women and help them build themselves up, using my life experiences to preach hope for women who don’t believe enough in themselves.
“So many people just go and disappear, and they come out with a banging body. They look like that’s how they were born. That’s not how you were born. You worked on your body. So why are you now hiding the fact that you worked on yourself?”
