Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has opened up about her decision to undergo a mummy makeover after experiencing significant physical and psychological changes following the birth of her third child.
Ogbodo, who has three children, disclosed that she underwent three Caesarean sections during an interview with Deacon Famous.
The actress said the changes to her body after her third pregnancy affected her confidence and overall well-being, prompting her to consider cosmetic procedures to help her feel comfortable with herself again.
According to Ogbodo, her decision was personal and was aimed at helping her regain her confidence both physically and psychologically.
She also reiterated her commitment to advocating for women and girls, saying her experiences growing up and as a woman have motivated her to support and educate others.
“All my life, I’ll say I’m an advocate for women and girls. As a girl, I know what I saw growing up and, as a woman, what I’m still seeing, so I try to help or teach women any way possible,” she said.
Explaining her decision to undergo the procedure, Ogbodo said her body changed considerably after having her third child and that she eventually decided to take steps to restore her confidence.
“I had a mummy makeover done to my body, so I look good. My body changed after my third baby. I couldn’t hold it anymore, so I knew I had to do the mummy makeover to recover myself psychologically, physically and otherwise,” she said.
Ogbodo revealed that the procedures she has undergone include a tummy tuck and liposuction. She added that breast augmentation is still pending.
“Tummy tuck, liposuction and breast augmentation form the mummy makeover, but I’m yet to do the breast augmentation. But I had every other thing done, including my teeth, so I could come back to the goddess,” she added.
A mummy makeover typically involves a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address physical changes associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The procedures may vary depending on an individual’s needs and personal goals.
Ogbodo stressed that her decision was based on her desire to feel confident and comfortable in her body after having three children.
