Actress Uche Ogbodo has opened up about her decision to undergo a mummy makeover, saying the changes her body experienced after childbirth affected her psychologically and physically.
The actress made this known in an interview with Deacon Famous, where she disclosed that she had three Caesarean sections while having her three children.
She explained that her decision to undergo the procedure was part of her effort to regain confidence and feel comfortable with her body after her third pregnancy.
Ogbodo said she has always advocated for women and girls and believes in helping women in every way possible.
‘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 why she encourages women to consider a mummy makeover, the actress said her body changed significantly after her third child, leaving her feeling that she needed to take steps to recover psychologically and physically.
‘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 explained that the procedures she underwent included a tummy tuck and liposuction, while breast augmentation is still part of the procedures she is yet to have.
‘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 generally refers to a combination of cosmetic procedures aimed at addressing physical changes that may occur after pregnancy and childbirth.
Procedures can vary from person to person, depending on individual needs.
While discussing her experience, Ogbodo stressed that her decision was personal and linked to how she wanted to feel about herself after having three children.
