Ghanaian gospel musician Empress Gifty has revealed that she underwent breast reduction surgery, saying it was a personal decision influenced by concerns about her appearance after losing weight.
She shared her experience in a social media video posted on November 1, 2026, while defending fellow gospel artiste Florence Obinim against online criticism and speculation about her appearance.
Empress Gifty said she researched ways to maintain firm skin after weight loss and decided to undergo the procedure because she could afford it and wanted to feel beautiful.
Defence of Florence Obinim
The singer criticised social media users who mocked Florence over speculation that she had undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). She questioned why some women had joined in the criticism and urged the public to treat others with respect.
Florence Obinim has previously denied undergoing a BBL, attributing changes in her appearance to exercise and fasting.
Personal Choice and Professional Guidance
Empress Gifty argued that people should be free to make decisions about their bodies without being ridiculed. She described surgery as an experience that can involve anxiety and requires courage.
She also suggested that November be observed as Plastic Surgery Month.
The musician encouraged anyone considering a cosmetic procedure to research it, consult qualified professionals and seek counselling about the possible risks and recovery process before deciding.
In a separate discussion earlier in 2026, she also questioned suggestions that the Bible prohibits body enhancements or the use of hip pads.
