Reality TV star Mercy Eke has shared that she underwent a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in 2018, influenced by peer pressure.
Mercy shared her decision to pursue cosmetic procedures, including the BBL during an interview on the Love is a Game show.
She admitted to feeling hesitant and fearful about the procedure. However, she ultimately decided to go through with it, along with two of her friends.
“To be very truthful, it was the trend at the time. I think this was around 2018 and it was the trend, peer pressure and everyone was doing it. I had a very good form and it wasn’t bad, the stomach was too much.
“I was really scared when I wanted to do it; I didn’t tell my mum because I didn’t want anyone to discourage me. So it was me and two of my other friends, we planned it, paid, and did it together,” she revealed.
“Getting your body massaged after the surgery is the painful part. Not being able to sleep on your bum for about 14 days means you have to lay on your stomach. The massages the nurses give you to bring the water out are also tough.”
Despite the challenges, Mercy expressed that the procedure was worth it.
She also addressed rumors about facial surgery, clarifying that she has only had fillers done on her lips, not her face.
Mercy emphasised the importance of education and awareness when it comes to cosmetic procedures, highlighting the differences between various techniques and their effects.
“People keep saying that I touched my face, so I keep posting throwbacks for them to see. I have only touched my lips; I had fillers done, and they dissolve after three months. I feel like people need to be more educated.”
Mercy also mentioned having liposuction and assured that her bum remains soft.
