Ex-Big Brother Naija (BBN) housemate, Dorathy Bachor, has disclosed why she chose to undergo breast reduction surgery.
According to her,the procedure is a step towards personal freedom as she prepares to embrace a new phase of her life.
The reality television star disclosed this during an interview with TVC, explaining that growing older had changed her priorities and strengthened her resolve to undergo the surgery.
She said the decision is one she has contemplated for some time, adding that she now feels ready to take the step.
“I think it’s the time for me to do it. Growing older, you just want other things. Call it freedom, call it whatever, I just feel like it’s time. Talking about it is a step forward for me. I will share more about it definitely,” she said.
Dorathy had earlier revealed that she was preparing for the procedure after postponing the decision for three years due to fear and uncertainty.
In a post on X on Wednesday, the entrepreneur disclosed that she had attended a consultation for the surgery, indicating her readiness to proceed with a decision she had struggled to make.
She wrote: “Finally got that breast reduction consultation. After three years of procrastinating, I’m finally facing my fears. 2027… New year, new me.”
Her decision comes after years of speaking publicly about the challenges of having a large bust, particularly the difficulty of finding comfortable and properly fitting bras.
In March 2021, she discussed the issue during an Instagram Live session with media personality, Ubi Franklin, explaining that her personal struggles with finding suitable underwear inspired her decision to venture into the lingerie business.
Drawing from her experiences, she subsequently established her lingerie brand, My Full Chest, to provide suitable underwear options for women with fuller busts.
Dorathy rose to prominence in 2020 after participating in the fifth season of Big Brother Naija, tagged Lockdown, where she emerged as the first runner-up behind the eventual winner, Laycon.
