BBNaija star Mercy Eke has opened up on why she opted for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), revealing that peer pressure played a role in her decision at the time.
Speaking during an interview, Mercy, who won Big Brother Naija season 4, noted that she already had a beautiful body before the procedure, adding that although the process was painful, she is happy with the outcome and now feels comfortable in her body.
She explained that the decision was largely driven by trend and peer pressure at the time, admitting she was scared and chose not to tell her mother in order to avoid being discouraged.
According to her, she planned the procedure alongside two friends, and all three went through it together.
She further described the recovery process, noting that the massage sessions following the surgery were particularly painful, along with having to avoid sleeping on her back for 14 days and instead lying on her stomach.
She recalled crying for three days after waking up from the surgery due to the pain, adding that things have since become much easier.
