Plastic surgery won’t heal insecurities, only Christ can – Efia Odo tells women
Efia Odo has commented on the ongoing conversation surrounding women and body enhancement, contending that such procedures fall short in addressing the root of personal insecurities.
In a post shared on X, the Ghanaian socialite encouraged women to turn inward for affirmation—specifically through a connection with Christ—rather than relying on external fixes like cosmetic surgery in their quest for self-worth.
“Plastic surgery doesn’t fix insecurities. You must be self-validated within. Nothing outside of you can save you apart from being in Christ, because that’s your true self. Christ is not a religion; it’s one’s true self,” she wrote.

Her commentary comes in the wake of similar sentiments expressed by actress Yvonne Nelson, who has been vocal in her criticism of cosmetic enhancements, arguing that women who pursue such measures are often grappling with inner doubts.
“I feel that it is a mental thing. It is a lack of confidence,” she stated.
Yvonne further issued a strong advisory to young women, warning them of the potential emotional and psychological pitfalls that may accompany the decision to alter their bodies.
“I do not expect any of you to do that, because the minute you do that, it never stops. The minute you alter any part of your body, you would want to alter another part. You would want a fuller lip. You would want a bigger ear. You would always want to change something about you,” she advised.
