Winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7, Phyna Otabor, has added a new chapter to her public image after revealing she has undergone cosmetic surgery.
The reality star, who is also known as an actress, model, filmmaker and fashion enthusiast, shared her experience on social media, posting clips and comments after her first post-surgery massage.
Her decision comes just weeks after the death of socialite Elena Jessica, who reportedly died from complications following a second Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure. The incident had sparked fresh conversations about the risks of cosmetic surgery in Nigeria.
In her post, Phyna said she had no regrets about the procedure and described her experience with excitement, noting changes in her body after surgery.
“First massage. Now I understand why people don’t shut up about it… Finally did it. No regrets,” she wrote.
She also reacted to her new appearance, saying her body felt more “snatched” and joking about her flat stomach transformation.

“This is my first massage… my belly snatched sha. Everybody should go and hide,” she said in one of the clips.
Phyna, who had previously criticised fellow reality star Chichi over cosmetic procedures, also reflected on her gym experience, suggesting that workouts no longer deliver the same results compared to surgery.
In another post, she described waking up after her first post-op massage as intense but worth it, saying she was happy with what she saw in the mirror.
Cosmetic surgery, especially Brazilian Butt Lift procedures, has become increasingly popular in Nigeria.
The procedure involves removing fat from parts of the body such as the stomach or thighs and transferring it to the buttocks for a fuller shape.
The trend has continued to grow in the country’s entertainment industry, with several celebrities reportedly undergoing similar procedures.
