7 Nigerian Celebrities Vocal about Getting Plastic Surgery
Back in the day, getting cosmetic surgery was something people hid from public glare. More often than not, persons who had gone under the knife would deny ever having had surgery, particularly because of the immoral and destructive perception the society held about people who had worked on their bodies surgically.
But today, that narrative is fast being buried, as more and more persons, particularly women, have become more vocal about having cosmetic surgeries and undergoing body enhancements in order to have the bodies of their dreams. As a matter of fact, going under the knife has become the new normal for celebrities, who stop at nothing to share their experiences, express their joy, and encourage others who might be interested to do the same.
Below is a list of Nigerian celebrities who are vocal about having undergone cosmetic surgery:
Toke Makinwa
This beautiful woman needs no introduction. Toke Makinwa, a.k.a, TM, is one individual who misses no opportunity to show off her body. The best-selling author, Tv host, and Radio personality is in no way secretive about having undergone surgery, perhaps because it was way too obvious. Toke worked on the expansion of her butts, and the minute pictures surfaced online, she admitted that she did undergo surgery. Go girl, you deserve to be happy about your body!
Tonto Dikeh
King Tonto, as she prefers to be addressed is another Nigerian celebrity who speaks her truth, regardless of how people might respond to it. So, when it came to having a bigger derriere, the mom of one gladly told anyone who cared to know that she augmented her bum. Before even traveling to have her surgery, the star actress already publicized her intentions to get a body job. Unlike many persons, Tonto is very vocal about her surgery and proud of her artificial hot body. She even went as far as praising her cosmetic surgeon for giving her a body that supposedly “speaks in tongues.” We see you Tonto; there’s nothing to be ashamed of!
Nengi
Nengi Hampson, one of the housemates in Season 5 of the widely controversial reality TV show “Big Brother Nigeria”, is another celebrity who is very vocal about getting her body done. The beauty queen disclosed to a fellow housemate that she did undergo a liposuction procedure. She also mentioned that she regrets not blogging about her experience, adding that she would take blogging her next procedure into consideration. It is safe to conclude that the sweet lady is proud and unashamed about the procedure, with thousands of women wishing to have Nengi’s butt. Own it, Sis!
Yvonne Jegede
Popular actress Yvonne Jegede recently revealed that she went under the knife, following the birth of her baby boy. She admitted to having liposuction on her stomach, causing her to look curvier. She also stated that the surgery was performed here in Nigeria. Go Yvonne, there’s no need to deny it anyway! If it makes you feel better and more confident, then, go for it!
Karen Igho
Model, media personality, and winner of Big Brother Africa, Karen Igho is another Nigerian celebrity who did go under the knife to get a boob job. The model, who spares no detail when it comes to talking about her surgery, got implants for bigger boobs. In fact, Karen Igho was one of the first Nigerian females who openly revealed that she had breast surgery. She’s also very proud of her new boobs and makes this known at every given opportunity.
Bobrisky
Nigerian male barbie, Bobrisky, has not been quiet about having plastic surgery. The crossdresser had a rhinoplasty, boob enlargement, bum implant, lip fillers, and a whole bunch of other procedures. Like his former bestie, Tonto Dikeh, Bobrisky announced his intention to undergo surgery even before he had the surgery. He kept asking for prayers from fans before embarking on the journey. Having gotten what he wanted, Bobrisky allegedly even got Tonto Dikeh to feel his new boobs. Whatever rocks his boat!
Iyabo Ojo
Popular Nigerian actress, Iyabo Ojo also had a cosmetic procedure done after the birth of her second child. The actress admits to having undergone surgery for a flat midsection following her daughter’s birth. According to her, she decided to do this simply to restore her self-confidence. The stunning mom of two adds that people have a right to do whatever they please with their body, as long as it makes them comfortable.
