Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner, Mercy Eke, has opened up about her experiences following the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery she underwent in 2018.
In a recent interview on the Love is a Game show by Kenes Gloww on YouTube, Eke revealed that she opted for the procedure due to the trend and peer pressure, despite having a slim body.
She said, “To be very truthful, at first, 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.
“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 also admitted to not researching her doctor beforehand and ignoring potential risks due to ignorance.
She, however, stated that she would prioritise thorough research and questioning before considering any future procedures.
She said, “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.”

The reality TV star also described the post-surgery experience as painful, including massages to reduce swelling and being unable 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 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.
In her interview, Eke addressed speculation about her facial features, clarifying that she had only undergone lip fillers, which dissolve after three months.
“People keep saying that I touched my face, so I keep posting throwbacks for them to see,” she said.
“I have touched my lips; just fillers done; it dissolves after three months, and I feel like people need to be more educated especially fillers; it’s not liposuction.”
