Reality TV queen and socialite Mpumi Mophatlane, better known as Mrs Mops, is never one to shy away from keeping it real. In a no-holds-barred chat on The Mommy Club season 3, she put an end to the swirling speculation about her body enhancements—particularly her Brazilian butt lift (BBL).
With her signature confidence and flair, the mother of three made it crystal clear: she didn’t need to jet off to Turkey for a glow-up when South Africa has top-tier surgeons right at home.
“I didn’t go to Turkey when we have such good doctors in South Africa. Why would I go to Turkey?” she quipped over a meal with fellow cast member Kabelo Jantjies, aka Mrs J.
And just in case anyone missed the memo, she doubled down: “I had a little bit of a nip tuck here and there. I, unlike some people, did not go to Turkey. We’ve got very good surgeons right here in Mzansi.”
Her candid confession sparked conversations about body image, self-love, and the increasing trust in local medical professionals. Mrs Mops isn’t just celebrating her own transformation—she’s waving the flag for South Africa’s booming cosmetic surgery scene.
Giving her surgeon a cheeky “chef’s kiss,” she gushed about her newfound curves, proving that confidence is the best accessory to any glow-up.
It’s no secret that Turkey has become a go-to destination for those seeking affordable yet high-quality cosmetic procedures. The country welcomed a staggering 1.4 million medical tourists in 2023 alone, raking in an eye-watering $2.3 billion in revenue. With 40 internationally accredited health institutions, Turkey ranks seventh in global health tourism.
But while many are packing their bags for an overseas nip and tuck, Mrs Mops is setting a different trend—one that champions South African expertise.
