Big Brother Naija star, Mercy Eke, has spoken candidly about her decision to undergo body enhancement surgery in 2018.

In an interview with Kenny's Glow, Mercy revealed that she succumbed to peer pressure and the prevailing trend, saying:

"It was the trend at the time; maybe peer pressure and everybody was doing it. My body was not that bad, I had a beautiful body but maybe the stomach was a little big. I was really scared then."

Mercy explained that she didn't undergo the surgery to enhance her physique, but rather to fit in with the trend. She also revealed that she didn't inform her mother about the procedure, fearing she would be discouraged.

"I didn't tell my mom because I didn't want anybody to discourage me. It was me and friends; we planned it and paid for it and the three of us did it together."

Mercy spoke about the challenges she faced after the surgery, including the pain and discomfort. She said:

"The fact that you won't sleep with your butt for 14 days. And when you wake up from surgery, you cry for three days."

Despite the struggles, Mercy is happy with her decision and has no regrets. She also highlighted the impact of the surgery on her fashion brand, saying it has been a motivating factor.
