Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has admitted she does not like her appearance just one day after undergoing a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure.
In a raw, unfiltered Instagram video shared on Friday, the star showed her swollen face and spoke candidly about the immediate results.
“This is day one after my facial rejuvenation. My whole face is swollen. Honestly, I don’t know. I look so different. I don’t like how I look, but I think it’s going to get better. My doctor told me it’s going to get better and look finer, so let’s see what happens,” she said.
Ogbodo underwent threads, fillers and PDO treatments designed to lift her face, restore volume and smooth out lines for a fresh, youthful and well-rested look without surgery.

In her day-one update caption, she doubled down on her decision.
“Day 1 of giving my face the love, care and attention it deserves. I’m not chasing perfection. I’m simply choosing to look refreshed, youthful, confident and very much like myself. No hiding. No apologies. No pressure to age a certain way. This is my face. My journey. My choice. And baby… are we about to glow or what? Goddess mode: activated.”
The timing of the procedure comes shortly after her separation from estranged husband Bobby Maris. Fans have largely praised her honesty and transparency, with many urging her to give the swelling time to settle and assuring her the final result will look beautiful.
Ogbodo has previously undergone other aesthetic procedures and continues to advocate for women making personal choices about their appearance while prioritising safety and qualified professionals. Her latest update has sparked widespread conversation about beauty standards.
