Omotola Jalade opens up on self-confidence following surgery scar
Renowned Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has shared a reflection on self-love and resilience while revealing how she came about her tummy scar.
According to the famous figure, she got the scar after an emergency surgery in 2024 without revealing what the procedure was about.
Taking to Instagram, the beloved actress, popularly known as Omosexy, revealed how the experience left her with a scar on her stomach—an area she once considered one of her most attractive features.
During a special Valentine’s Day photoshoot, Omotola posted a video where she momentarily lifted her top, revealing her tummy before adjusting her outfit.
She admitted having a fleeting moment of insecurity but quickly dismissed it, choosing to focus on gratitude and self-acceptance.
In her heartfelt message, she encouraged others to embrace their physical and emotional scars while celebrating life.
“Loving yourself first is the greatest Val gift. Late last year, I had an emergency surgery… One of the best parts of my body was my tummy… Oh well, not so perfect now…
“During this shoot, I forgot and grabbed my top during my pose, and I heard a little voice say… there’s nothing to show anymore…
“Not me! That thing that’ll shake my confidence has not been created. I smiled and danced. I’m alive… it’s just scars.
“Some people’s scars are physical, and some are emotional… but today, smile, dance, and be proud, beautiful. You’re still here, and you look darn good too!
“What if I’m not perfect? Would you still love me?”
