Former Big Brother Naija housemate Dorathy Bachor says she has finally stopped dragging her feet on a decision she sat on for three whole years. The reality TV star told her followers on X on Wednesday, November 11, that she has attended a consultation for breast reduction surgery, and she is pointing to 2027 as the year of a fresh start.
According to Daily Post, her post read: "Finally got that Breast reduction consultation. After 3 years of procrastinating, I'm finally facing my fears. 2027… New year. New me."
Punch carried a slightly different rendering of the same message, quoting her as writing: "Finally got that breast reduction consultation. After three years of procrastinating, I'm finally facing my fears." The paper added the closing line as: "Looking ahead to 2027. New year, new me."
No date yet, but 2027 is the target
Dorathy did not give a specific date for the operation. Daily Post and Legit.ng both noted that the post stops short of naming when she will go under the knife, though her reference to 2027 suggests that is when she hopes to go ahead. Vanguard also reported that the surgery is planned for 2027.
Punch described the consultation as a choice she admitted she had long struggled to make, calling the visit her first concrete step since she began thinking about the procedure three years ago.
Known in medical terms as reduction mammoplasty, the operation takes out surplus breast tissue, fat and skin to make the breasts smaller, Legit.ng explained. The outlet said people choose it for different reasons, from physical discomfort to medical need or simple personal preference. Dorathy, however, has kept her own reasons to herself.
The bra struggle that birthed a business
For many fans, the announcement connects with a topic Dorathy has never hidden. Punch noted that her chest size was a big part of why she became popular from her very first day in the Big Brother house, and she has previously spoken openly about how hard it is to find bras that fit.
In 2021, after launching her lingerie line, My Full Chest, she explained that her own difficulty getting the right size gave her the idea for the brand. As quoted by Punch, 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 continued: "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, so I am doing this from that point of view."
"I understand what it is so yeah, it is more like giving the people what they want and still running a business," she added at the time.
