Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has opened up on her views about Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures during an appearance on The Morayo Show hosted by Morayo Afolabi-Brown
Speaking, Akindele said, “I must say, I love to see beautiful women with beautiful bodies. I actually like it. I am not talking about the excess ones but the normal ones. I want to do it but I don’t have the mind.”
While Akindele expressed admiration for the aesthetic appeal of BBL, she cautioned that anyone considering the surgery should weigh the risks carefully.
“I am not against it. If you want to enhance your beauty, go ahead, but be careful.”
Her comments came amid heightened attention on BBL surgeries which now remain one of the most talked-about cosmetic procedures today, especially in the entertainment and influencer space, where the pressure to achieve a certain body ideal often clashes with safety concerns and public health warnings.
The procedure, however, has sparked controversy following the death of a prominent social media influencer due to complications arising from a BBL surgery.
Recall that Elena Jessica Nkwopara, often known as Elena, was a Nigerian socialite and influencer who passed away after complications from a second Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure in Lagos.
After having problems with a first, recent BBL procedure, Nkwopara apparently had a second, “corrective” procedure in Lagos.
According to reports, she experienced serious difficulties either during or right after the treatment.
