Nigerian radio host and actor Lolo 1, whose real name is Omotunde Adebowale David, shared her insights on why many women opt for body enhancement procedures.
On her podcast “Say My Piece”, Lolo 1 discussed the prevalence of body enhancement surgeries among women, sharing her personal experience of being body-shamed for her large breasts during her youth.
She confessed that if financial means allowed, she would have considered breast reduction surgery to alleviate the negative attention and sexualization she faced, highlighting the emotional toll of societal pressure on women’s self-perception.
Lolo 1 emphasized that women who undergo body modification often do so due to feelings of insecurity and unresolved trauma, and suggested that societal pressure from men can significantly contribute to this decision, implying that the desire to meet traditional beauty standards or appease male gaze can drive women to alter their bodies.
“Whether you like it or not, it has become a norm; we are talking Body Enhancement. If I could have afforded it, I would have done breast reduction when I was younger because I had more boobs than girls my age at that time, and I didn’t see it as a symbol. Growing up, I got a lot of negative attention for it. Do you know how long I have been sexualized?
I can tell you that many of the women who do body modification feel insecure.
When you say a woman is insecure, it is always a response to some kind of trauma. The major part is men make you feel that way”.
