Body Enhancement Surgeries Were Worth the Pain – Mercy Eke
Mercy Eke, former Big Brother Naija star, recently opened up about her experience with body enhancement surgeries, affirming that the procedures were worthwhile.
In a candid conversation during a recent episode of the ‘Love Is A Game’ podcast, Eke shared her journey, detailing her decisions and the challenges she faced along the way.
Eke, who has undergone multiple cosmetic procedures, including a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), liposuction, and lip augmentation, admitted that she initially followed the trend and succumbed to peer pressure when she made the choice to alter her body.
Reflecting on her decision, she explained, “To be honest, at first, I did it because it was the trend, and there was a lot of peer pressure. I went through with body enhancement surgery in 2018.”
Although she already had a naturally attractive figure, Mercy noted that societal standards and personal insecurities influenced her decision.
“I actually had a good body shape before. I was slim with natural curves, typical of an African woman. But at the time, I felt my stomach was a bit bigger than I wanted, and that led me to go ahead with the surgery,” she said.
Describing the physical toll of the procedure, Eke revealed that the recovery process was painful. “I was terrified before undergoing the surgery. I didn’t even tell my mum about it.
I went with two of my friends. The pain was intense. You can’t sleep on your butt for fourteen days, so you have to lie on your stomach the whole time. That part is extremely painful. For the first three days after surgery, you’ll cry, but in the end, it’s worth it,” she recounted.
Despite the challenges, Eke stands by her decision, expressing no regrets about her body transformation. She also took the opportunity to address rumors regarding facial enhancements, clarifying that she has never undergone any surgery to alter her facial features.
“People speculate that I’ve had surgery on my face, but that’s not true. I’m naturally beautiful. I didn’t do anything to my face,” she stated.
In her reflection, Eke acknowledged that while she initially felt the pressure to conform to societal trends, the experience has ultimately been a personal journey, and she is now comfortable and confident in her own skin.
