Cosmetic surgery in Nigeria
Cosmetic surgery is a type of plastic surgery that is targeted at beautifying a person.
Nigerians were once conservative towards the procedure for fear of anything going wrong with it.
However, there is a recent preference for bigger structures as wider hips, bigger boobs, and bottoms with a perfectly tucked stomach.
This has caused many people to seek body enhancements.

Some Nollywood celebrities have also gone ahead to beautify their bodies via this medium, thereby promoting the practice more in the country.
