Mercy Eke Opens Up About Her BBL Surgery, Painful Recovery

Mercy Eke, Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner has shared her personal experiences with Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery in a recent interview on the Love is a Game show by Kenes Gloww on YouTube.

Eke revealed that she underwent the procedure in 2018 due to the prevailing trend and peer pressure, despite having a naturally slim figure EKO HOT BLOG gathered.

“To be very truthful, it was because of the trend.

I did my body in 2018. I think at the time it was just the trend, maybe peer pressure; everyone was doing it. I had a beautiful, slim body, but my stomach was a little too much,” she said.

She admitted to not conducting any research on her doctor beforehand and expressed regret over her ignorance regarding the procedure’s risks. “I did my body here in Nigeria. I didn’t do any research on the doctor beforehand.

Maybe I was just ignorant. I didn’t think about the risks. But now, if I have to touch my body, I have to see the works of that doctor. How many deaths? How many complications? I’m going to ask a lot of questions before anybody can touch my body again,” Eke explained.

Describing the post-surgery experience, Eke noted the pain involved, including the necessity for massages to reduce swelling and the discomfort of not being able to sleep on her back for 14 days.

“After the surgery, you get to have your body massaged—that’s the painful part. You can’t sleep on your butt for 14 days; you have to lay on your stomach.

Also, when the nurses try to massage you to bring the water out. When you wake up from surgery, it’s also painful; you cry for three days, but it’s worth it,” she said.
