In a candid interview with Saturday Beats, the mother of three revealed that she turned to cosmetic surgery to reclaim her confidence following childbirth.
Ogbodo explained that the toll of pregnancy and three cesarean sections had left her struggling with body image issues.
“I didn’t like what I looked like when I looked back at myself after my third baby,” she said. “So I felt like I owed it to myself to be happy and confident. I had to have work done on myself — for me, not for any other person, but for my mental health.”
The 37-year-old actress highlighted how physical changes after motherhood can take a deep emotional toll, and said her Brazilian Butt Lift was a personal journey of healing.
She also praised her husband for offering full support through her decision.
Ogbodo was especially critical of fellow celebrities who undergo similar procedures but keep them secret.
“You’re a role model, and then you lie to people who look up to you. Why are you a shining star when you cannot be a torchbearer?” she asked. “So many people just go and disappear, and they come out with a banging body. That’s not how you were born.”
Rejecting the idea that her choice was about keeping up with others, Ogbodo added, “I am enough competition for myself.”
When asked about the potential dangers of surgery, she calmly replied, “There’s danger in everything. There’s danger in having malaria. But I knew there was nothing to be afraid of because I was in the right hands.”
