- Other celebrities including Mary Remmy Njoku, Daddy Freeze, and Kanayo Kanayo have also weighed in on the ongoing BBL debate.
Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has sparked fresh conversation about body enhancement as she addressed widespread misconceptions about liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
In a lengthy post on Instagram, the actress cautioned critics to stop looking down on women who choose to surgically enhance their bodies. According to her, many people don’t understand that liposuction is not a miracle procedure for weight loss but rather a body-contouring method that requires discipline before and after surgery.
She explained that liposuction only works effectively when significant weight has already been shed, noting that some individuals even undergo gastric bypass surgery before liposuction. She stressed that surgery alone does not guarantee an hourglass figure, as lifestyle choices such as healthy eating and regular fitness remain crucial.
Sarah also tackled the issue of body shaming, insisting that no one has the right to criticize another person’s body type. She encouraged women to embrace their natural figures with pride, but also maintained that those who feel the need for surgery should be free to enhance their looks without fear of judgment.
The actress pointed out that even naturally curvy women often face accusations of undergoing cosmetic procedures, highlighting how widespread body shaming has become.
Her remarks add to an ongoing debate within Nollywood and beyond. Weeks ago, actress Mary Remmy Njoku urged women to focus more on intellectual and personal growth instead of relying on body enhancement, while Daddy Freeze dismissed BBL as risky and unnecessary. Veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo also criticized the trend, questioning why most husbands do not finance such surgeries and likening BBL relationships to fleeting secondary school flings.
With more stars speaking up, the conversation around body enhancement and societal pressure continues to divide opinions in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
