Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo, has joined the ever-growing list of leading female entertainers who have undergone cosmetic surgery.
In a recent video that she shared on her Instagram page last weekend, the actress is seen being assisted by a medical personnel as she recovers from a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) and tummy tuck.
As seen in the video, the Nollywood actress who is currently undergoing her ‘Mummy Makeover’ phase could barely walk as she is in pain. Uche walked slowly and carefully but kept things light-hearted, telling the person recording to “film am well well” — eager to show off her post-op transformation later.

In a recent interview with Saturday Sun, Ogbodo spoke about her surgery.
“For me, motherhood has been a journey of transformation, both beautiful and challenging. As I navigated the ups and downs of raising my children, I sometimes felt lost in the process. My identity shifted. While being a mother brings immense joy, it also made me question my self-worth and beauty,” she said.
Ogbodo, who is married to a younger partner, emphasizes that her decision is not driven by societal pressure but rather a desire to reclaim her confidence and celebrate a new chapter in her life.
“The weight gain was challenging. I didn’t feel like myself anymore. Years of battling allergies, weight fluctuations, and self-doubt. I miss the woman I used to be and the woman I aspire to become.”
As her birthday approaches, the screen diva decided to give herself a gift, not wrapped in a box, but rather embodied in self-love and transformation. “This surgery is a birthday gift to me. It’s a reminder that I’m worthy of care and change. It’s about taking control of my life and loving the woman I am becoming. This journey is not just about changing my appearance; it’s about rediscovering my strength, resilience, and beauty. I did this not just for myself, but for my loved ones. I want them to see me happy, whole, and beautiful.”
