While most people are planning candlelit dinners and bouquets of roses for Valentine’s Day, Nonkanyiso "LaConco" Conco is celebrating self-love in a unique way.

The media personality and reality TV star recently revealed that she is gifting herself a third round of cosmetic surgery, specifically a tummy tuck, to ring in the season of romance.

Taking her followers along for the journey on Wednesday, 11 February 2026, LaConco shared behind-the-scenes footage from her pre-op appointment, explaining that this procedure has been a long-awaited milestone in her body-positive journey for four years.

The podcaster and TV personality has been open about her body transformation journey despite criticism from the online community. She had liposuction in 2022 after struggling to lose baby fat, and later had work done on her arms in early 2023.

Footage from her pre-op with Professor Chrysis Sofianos showed LaConco's visit to the hospital, where she had her blood drawn, and her chest and lungs X-rayed.

The video also highlighted LaConco’s dedication in the gym. She shared in a voice-over that she has been training five times a week, using her upcoming surgery as motivation to stay disciplined.

Ahead of the procedure, the star went for a facial and later had her eyebrows threaded, emphasising that because the healing journey will be a lengthy one, she would like to look her best in the process.
