Mercy Eke, a reality TV personality, has talked about her decision to have cosmetic surgery, calling the healing process one of the most agonising things she has ever gone through.

In a recent interview, Mercy stated that even though she thought she already had a nice body, she opted to get the procedure around 2018, citing peer pressure and the prevailing trend as major factors.

She disclosed that she was afraid of discouragement, so she didn’t tell her mother in advance. Rather, she scheduled the treatment with two friends and had it done around the same time.

Mercy claims that the recuperation was especially difficult. She talked about having many post-operative massages to promote healing and lessen swelling, crying for several days, and waking up in excruciating pain following surgery.

She added that she had to sleep on her stomach for roughly two weeks in order to prevent applying pressure to the surgical site.

Mercy stated that she is happy with the result and thinks the treatment was beneficial despite the challenging recuperation.

“Okay. At first, it was the trend at the time. I think about in 2018 i think at the time it was just the trend maybe peer pressure like everyone was doing it yeah because I actually have a very good form like my body was not that bad.. like i had a beautiful, it was slim yeah. But maybe the stomach was a little bit too much. I didn’t tell my mom because i didn’t want anybody to discourage me yeah so it was me two of my other friends like my two other friends we just planned it we paid. The three of us at the same time. Because I’ve heard that it’s w0rse than child l@bour, like the pa!n after. So after the surg£*ry, you get to have your body massag£d. So I think that’s the pa!*nful part. And then the fact that you won’t sleep with your bu*tt for, is it 14 days? thereabouts. So you have to just lie with your stomach. So that is a pa!nful part.

And then when the nurses are trying to mass@ge you to bring out the water and everything.Then when you wake up from surg£**ry, of course it’s pa!!nful. – It’s pa!***nful. You cry for three days.

It’s worth it. It’s basically liquid. It feels so soft.”
