Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Etinosa Idemudia, has revealed that her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery was largely influenced by years of body shaming. In a recent interview, she explained that she had often been mocked for her stomach, which affected her self-esteem. According to her, the weight gain was a result of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition many people misunderstood. She emphasized the importance of kindness, noting that everyone faces silent struggles.
Idemudia disclosed that she discovered Heritage Hospital online, and after thorough consultations, she felt reassured by their professionalism. This gave her the confidence to go ahead with the liposuction procedure. Her announcement, which she shared on Instagram, immediately stirred reactions and conversations among her fans and followers.
She admitted that her career also played a role in her decision. Being in the entertainment industry, she said, meant maintaining a certain appearance, as looking good often complements talent. For her, surgery was a way to look her age and avoid the older appearance that excess fat sometimes creates.
Responding to critics who argue that natural fitness should be prioritized, Idemudia dismissed such views as narrow-minded. She stressed that whether achieved naturally or surgically, what truly matters is the outcome and personal peace of mind. In her words, science is designed to make life easier, and people should embrace evolving options.
The actress concluded that the procedure had given her renewed confidence, helping her feel more comfortable in her skin and ready to excel further in Nollywood.
