    Why women must avoid butt lift surgery – Nollywood actress speaks

    Nollywood actress, Jumoke George has discouraged women from getting the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery, saying it doesn’t end well.

    The actress took to her Instagram page on Friday to caution women risking their lives for unnecessary cosmetic procedures.

    Questioning the rational behind undergoing a BBL surgery, the movie star asked if it’s solely to impress men or its something more than that.

    “Are you doing it just because of pe**s or what? Are you not beautiful enough?” George asked women.

    The actress who highlighted the potential health risks associated with BBL, urged women to appreciate their natural beauty, created in God’s image.

    She said, “Women, what is the colour of our problem? Because if I say I understand I am lying. The scripture says every creature was made in the image of God the most high.

    “You females looking at me whose image do you think you were created? Are you telling God that He does not know what He was doing? God is perfect. What then are we looking for? God has given some long life but they intentionally cut off their lives.

    “What exactly are you looking for in doing BBL? You just want to enlarge your buttocks… Are you not beautiful enough? If any man tells you that you are not beautiful enough and go enhance what God has given you or recreate yourself, tell him he is not in his right senses.

    “You hear news about ladies going for BBL and losing their lives. Something that people like me who has it is even feeling it like a weight. Because when it gets to a stage it contributes to knee issues. Hardly will you see someone with big butt that would not have knee problem.

    “Stop all these BBL thing. Go and rest. I know some people will listen while others will not. But it saddens my heart.”
