Nollywood star Uche Ogbodo has opened up about her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery, citing challenges with her body image following childbirth.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress and mother of three explained that although she has always had a naturally full bust, the changes to her body after having children left her feeling insecure.
She revealed that after the birth of her third child, she became dissatisfied with her physical appearance and chose to have body enhancement surgery to support her mental and emotional health.
“I didn’t have an hourglass shape. Starting to have babies didn’t help matters for me. I didn’t like what I saw when I looked at myself after my third child. I felt I owed it to myself to be happy and confident.
“The surgery wasn’t for anyone else but for me, for my mental health to feel good, okay, and enough. I am enough competition for myself,” Ogbodo explained.
The actress revealed that she chose to be open about her transformation because transparency matters to her, also noting that public figures should not mislead fans who admire them.
“In this country, people, especially celebrities, are often not honest. You’re a role model, yet you lie to those who genuinely love you. Many undergo procedures, disappear, and then return with new bodies without admitting they worked on themselves. Why hide it when you can inspire other women with your story?” she added.
Ogbodo further explained that her openness is part of her mission to encourage women who struggle with self-esteem, using her experiences to build hope.
She also revealed that her husband gave his full support for the surgery, understanding the challenges she faced with body image and the need to feel confident again.
