Men’s Constant Body-shaming Push Women To Undergo BBL Procedures – Nkechi Blessing

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has stirred conversation online after speaking about the way women are treated over their bodies and the growing debate around cosmetic surgery.

Naija News reports that the actress shared her thoughts in a video posted on social media, where she addressed men who now tell women to accept their natural bodies after years of criticizing them over their appearance.

She said many women have been pushed into cosmetic procedures because of constant insults and pressure from society.

According to her, the same people who mocked women for not having certain body shapes are now advising them to avoid surgery and love themselves as they are.

Nkechi Blessing said the harsh comments women receive about their bodies have played a role in the rise of procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift, popularly known as BBL.

The mother of one explained that the pressure to meet certain beauty standards often comes from repeated criticism and expectations placed on women.

She said: “You people mocked women for years because of their bodies, but now you are the same ones telling them to love themselves the way they are. Many women went for BBL because of the insults and pressure they received about their bodies. You bullied women for not having big backsides and now you are telling them not to do surgery. No amount of insults or abuse will push me to change my body. This body is my hard work and the success I have achieved.

“I am proud of my body and I will not alter it because people talk. Women should be free to make their own decisions about their bodies. If I ever decide to do any surgery, it will only be weight-loss surgery. I will not go for enhancement procedures like BBL. People should stop judging women for the choices they make about their bodies.”
