According to her, the treatment included threads, fillers, and PDO procedures aimed at lifting the face, restoring volume and smoothing out lines without going under the knife.
In her caption, the actress made clear that the decision was entirely intentional and self-motivated:
“I GOT ME A NEW FACE! 😏💋 BECAUSE I CAN! Listen, I’m a woman who believes in one thing: IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, CHANGE IT! 😂🔥 I’m not about to sit down and complain about something I have the power to improve. I love my face, I love myself, but babes… we can always upgrade!”
Uche Ogbodo also used the moment to promote her consultancy platform, which she said she created to help women navigate plastic surgery and aesthetic journeys safely and with the right professionals.

Uche Ogbodo and Bobby Maris’ separation
The procedure came shortly after Uche Ogbodo confirmed her split from her husband, Bobby Maris.
In her public announcement, she revealed she had given eight years to the relationship and pointedly described him as the “Princess” in the marriage rather than the man she had needed.
She also questioned whether things would only change if she died.
Earlier warning signs had emerged when the couple unfollowed each other on social media.
Bobby Maris had posted a cryptic remark suggesting that the title of wife did not suit every woman, to which Uche Ogbodo responded with a post about surviving a narcissist.
After the separation became official, she posted a defiant photo of herself declaring she was wearing her “main chick crown.”
Her sister also publicly weighed in, describing Bobby as a man who contributes nothing meaningful to his family’s welfare.
