Aphrodisiac Nite Club owner, Confidence Haugen has said she is ready to lend support to women who are battling breast cancer with plastic surgery. This she believes will make them feel “whole”. Speaking on Multi TV’s PM EXPRESS programme, Confidence explained that she underwent plastic surgery in the year 2000 to have her breasts enlarged because she did not feel “whole” with her breasts at the time which she referred to as “little fellows”. “I used to have very little ‘underchester’ and my self esteem was really down and I noticed it when I did Miss Ghana. I was very uncomfortable. I couldn’t fit into those sexy clothes without putting on this bra aid. I didn’t feel whole” she told show host Nii Arday Clegg. “I remember somebody gave an advice saying 'you know you’re a pretty girl and it doesn’t matter how intelligent you are or whatever comes out of your mouth or the kind of business you are in, people are just gonna look at you because you’re pretty. So just walk into the door with what they want to see and hit them with your intelligence' and that’s what I did and it worked” she recounted. Having had her breast implants 11 years ago, Confidence believes women who have survived the scourge of breast cancer should not walk about with just one breast or none at all depending on the outcome of their surgery. She is hopeful if survivors agree to have a plastic surgery as she has had, they would feel more comfortable. “I hope this doesn’t come off badly, but it’s like a male having some part of his organ off, boobs, that’s part of womanhood. Imagine when you don’t have one because of a disease” she said. According to her, she is going to take up the task of supporting breast cancer patients with plastic surgery through her charity called “Project Smile” which currently focuses on children with birth deformities like cleft. “I love plastic surgery and there’s a lot of good that plastic surgery can do in Ghana ... I do have a charity called project smile and what we do is we do plastic surgery for deformities from birth because I believe kids do heal properly and have a better life but now we’re going to add breast cancer to it because they’re all plastic surgery anyway. I want to put a smile on people’s faces” she said. Confidence says she is comfortable with her plastic surgery for now but would not hesitate to go for another surgery if need be. Although she would not say how many surgeries she has already had, she pointed out that the breast implant is the only plastic surgery she has ever had. Nii Akrofi Smart-Abbey/ Multi TV
