She posed a question to those who have undergone the procedure thus:“This question is for all of you who have gotten your bodies done. Every year, I’ll say ‘This year, I’ll get my body done, let me have my son first’. So, I had my son and immediately after that, I said let’s get this body done.”
“Three years later, I had my daughter and I said the same thing. That was during COVID and I know a lot of girls who did it during that time. At some point, I even paid a plastic surgeon to get my body done and I never showed up.”
“Now I’ve had my last child and I still don’t wanna get my body done. Those of you who have actually gotten your body done, how did you do it? How did you walk into the hospital knowing that if they give you anaesthesia, you’re gonna sleep and it’s by the special grace of God that you’ll wake up?”

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL),is a surgery where a doctor transfers fat from your belly, hips, lower back, or thighs to your buttocks.
If properly done, the ‘patient’ enjoys the outcome for over a decade without any follow-up treatments. However body changes as a result of aging can affect results over time. Experts in the field advise that to preserve the effects of Brazilian Butt Lift, you should maintain a consistent weight.
Cost of BBL in Nigeria range from N1.5 million upwards depending on the surgeon, the location, specifications, the patient and the facility at her disposal.
