South African reality TV star Jojo Robinson recently opened up about the real reason she's getting more work done on her body.

The businesswoman and TV personality, famous for being part of the Real Housewives of Durban cast, was checked into the hospital on Sunday, 12 October 2025, for another procedure, but this time, it wouldn't be on her face.

Taking to her Instagram page on 13 October, Jojo bid farewell to her thunder thighs ahead of her surgery.

"Goodbye, thunder thighs, I'm over you, you may exit the Jojo. Checked into the hospital and ready to check the chubby legs straight out."

A year after getting a facelift, Jojo will now be reducing fat and skin on her inner thighs for a thigh gap. She tagged her surgeon, Dr Paul McGarr, from Netcare St Augustine’s Hospital in Durban.

Jojo noted that she didn’t want the discomfort of her legs constantly rubbing together.

"Not having any thigh gap means my legs rub constantly together. Also, though, I mean, Summer is coming."

After convincing her husband, Boo Bear, to get surgery, Jojo clarified that the procedure was primarily for comfort, effectively dispelling speculation about her alleged "low self-esteem."

The surgeries for this involve liposuctions, which remove excess fat using a cannula, and thigh lifts (thighplasty), which remove loose skin.

Liposuction in South Africa typically costs between R20,000 and R60,000. However, this can vary depending on factors like the number of areas treated, the complexity of the procedure, and the clinic or surgeon chosen.
