Popular Lagos-based pastor, Pastor Tony Rapu in a recent video he posted on his Instagram account claimed that there is not a single quotation in the Bible which condemns body enhancements as this is to discredit the argument that it is ungodly to enhance your body.
In the video, the renowned man of God emphatically noted that there is nowhere in the bible that says cosmetic surgery is wrong.
However, he emphasized that if plastic surgery is done solely with the aim of becoming more sekzually appealing, then there is a problem with the person psychologically.
”The bible is silent about plastic surgery and there is really nothing in it that tells us it is wrong, so there have to be other considerations. If a person is conscious of a deformity or physical aspect of his or her body that is causing them some emotional discomfort, then cosmetic surgery is certainly an option. There are women who have had mastectomies and have had to have breast implants and we know many people who have benefited from surgeries, especially when the surgery is non-invasive and the side effects are minimal.
There really is nothing wrong with enhancing the quality of a person’s life by surgery especially when the person is able to breathe better, walk better, or talk better and especially when psychological health is improved.

The challenge is when surgery begins to be an attempt to meet an emotional void in a physical way or to attract unnecessary attention to a person, or to seek approval from other people. In some of these cases, we are then beginning to deal with psychological issues or deep-seated insecurities in a person. If surgery is for sekzual attractiveness, simply because you want to be found more sekzually attractive, then perhaps you are dealing with a deeper issue in terms of esteem.
So if surgery is for enhancing a vanity, then we are dealing with issues internally that surgery would probably never be able to satisfy” he said.
