    During an interview on the Love is a Game show, the reality star said she was initially fearful and a bit hesitant about the procedure. However, she chinned up and decided to go through with it.

    She said, “To be very truthful, it was the trend at the time. I think this was around 2018 and it was the trend, peer pressure and everyone was doing it. I had a very good form and it wasn’t bad, the stomach was 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

    “Getting your body massaged after the surgery is the painful part. Not being able to sleep on your bum for about 14 days means you have to lay on your stomach. The massages the nurses give you to bring the water out are also tough.”

    Mercy further noted that the procedure was worth it.

    Addressing reports about facial surgery, Mercy clarified that she has only had fillers done on her lips, not her face.

    She said, “People keep saying that I touched my face, so I keep posting throwbacks for them to see. I have only touched my lips; I had fillers done, and they dissolve after three months. I feel like people need to be more educated.”
