The actress had previously shared her intentions on social media, announcing that she would be undergoing a tummy tuck — a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen — often paired with a BBL to enhance the waist-to-hip ratio and achieve a more defined hourglass figure.
According to Uche, the surgery marks a significant milestone in her personal journey toward self-love and body confidence. “This is something I’m doing for me,” she told her followers. “A celebration of life, my body, and my decision to feel better in my own skin.”
On Sunday, Uche gave fans an update by posting a recovery video on Instagram, showing her resting and reflecting on the transformative experience. Though visibly in the healing phase, she appeared optimistic and full of gratitude. “I thank God for a successful surgery and for the amazing medical team that made it happen,” she wrote in the caption.
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with well wishes, praising her honesty and courage in sharing such a personal journey.
Uche, known for her candid social media presence and commitment to empowering other women, has often spoken about the pressures of body image in the entertainment industry. Her decision to be open about cosmetic surgery has sparked supportive conversations among fans, many of whom appreciated her transparency and confidence.
