Stephanie Benson Warns Women: ‘Quick Fixes’ Won’t Help You When You’re Older

Ghanaian-British singer Stephanie Benson has cautioned women against relying on cosmetic procedures to achieve their desired body shapes, urging them to embrace exercise, discipline and healthy eating instead.

Speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, Stephanie Benson said many people are too quick to seek what she described as “quick fixes” without considering the possible long-term consequences.

“Exercise is great. People take it for granted. Nowadays, people are too quick to do the quick fixes. They don’t think about the future and how it is going to be for them when they are a lot older, and they need to be mindful about that, because those quick fixes don’t work. It won’t help you,” she said.

She questioned how some women who undergo procedures to enhance certain parts of their bodies might feel about the results as they grow older.

“For your buttocks to be bigger, so when you turn 50, how are you going to walk? If the men didn’t like bigger buttocks, it wouldn’t trigger the ladies to go for quick fixes,” Stephanie said.

According to her, pressure to meet certain beauty standards and attract men can push some women into making decisions about their bodies that may not necessarily benefit them in the long run.

“Me, my buttocks are flat, so if you look, will you come close to me? I’m exercising now, so it looks like it is increasing in size nowadays,” she added.

The singer used herself as an example, explaining that her physique has been shaped largely by years of exercise, discipline and conscious lifestyle choices rather than cosmetic surgery.

She said people who admire her appearance and want to achieve a similar physique must understand that it is the result of years of commitment.

“When people say, ‘Stephanie, I want to be like you,’ I’m thinking it’s the hard work that I put into myself, right from a very young age, that is important. You have to start at some point. So somebody says, ‘I’m going to be like you when I’m 60 years old,’ you have to start now. It doesn’t happen that way,” she explained.

Stephanie Benson also dismissed claims that she has undergone cosmetic surgery because of her appearance at her age.

“So, I think people make a lot of assumptions that, at my age, looking and feeling the way I feel, I have done some kind of surgery. But I have never had liposuction or anything like that before. The only surgery I have had is when I had a mastectomy from cancer. Otherwise, everything is pure hard work and discipline,” she stated.

She maintained that discipline is key to maintaining a healthy body, particularly when it comes to food and exercise.

“Discipline is everything. What I eat is important to me. I eat everything, though, but only in moderation,” she said.

Stephanie Benson explained that she does not completely deprive herself of the foods she enjoys but focuses on moderation as part of her long-term approach to staying fit and healthy.
