Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Dorathy Bachor, has taken the first step towards undergoing breast reduction surgery, three years after she first considered the procedure.

The reality television star disclosed that she had attended a consultation for the surgery, describing the decision as one she had struggled to make over the years.

Bachor shared the development in a post on her X account on Wednesday, November 11, where she revealed that she had finally overcome her hesitation about the procedure.

“Finally got that breast reduction consultation. After three years of procrastinating, I’m finally facing my fears,” she wrote.

Looking ahead to the proposed procedure, the former reality television star added, “2027……..New year, New Me.”

Although Bachor did not disclose further details about the consultation or the medical arrangements for the surgery, her post suggests that she is considering undergoing the procedure in 2027.

The announcement has attracted reactions from social media users, with some expressing support for her decision while others encouraged her to reconsider.

Bachor became a household name following her appearance on the fifth season of Big Brother Naija, tagged Lockdown, in 2020. She finished as the first runner-up behind the season’s winner, Olamilekan Agbeleshe, popularly known as Laycon.

Her physical appearance, particularly her bust size, attracted considerable attention during and after the competition.

Beyond the attention, the reality star has previously spoken about the challenges of finding suitable bras because of her size.

In 2021, she launched her lingerie brand, My Full Chest, explaining that her personal experience with the difficulty of finding well-fitting and affordable bras inspired the business.

Speaking about the motivation behind the venture, she said, “It is hard to find my bra size, so I mean it is a struggle to find my size and I know how hard it is when I finally find one that is my size.”

She also explained that purchasing suitable bras was often expensive, adding that she sometimes had to buy just two pairs because of the cost and difficulty of finding replacements.

“I know how much I have to pay for it if I am going to buy, I buy like two pairs and then that’s it,” she said.

Bachor said the business was established to address a challenge she understood personally while providing other women with access to lingerie that suited their needs.

Her latest announcement comes six years after she rose to prominence on the reality television show, where her personality and appearance made her one of the season’s recognisable housemates.

While she has not confirmed a date for the operation, her reference to 2027 has given followers an indication of when she hopes to begin a new chapter.

For now, the consultation marks a significant step towards a decision she says she has postponed for three years.
