US-based plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael K. Obeng
Popular Ghanaian-born US-based plastic surgeon Dr. Michael K. Obeng has reflected on his nine-year marriage dissolution and how his demanding career played a role in his divorce.
In an interview with JoyFM, the Beverly Hills-based celebrity surgeon, best known for high-profile cases like the “Gorilla Glue” hair removal, revealed how his devotion to work led the end of his marriage and the beginning of a renewed personal journey.
The surgeon confessed struggling to balance profession, marriage, and fatherhood.
He further stated that he had failed to seek the voice of God in his previous marriage choices, vowing to do so if he gets the opportunity to marry again.
“Maybe I’m not the marriage type, because I think I’m God’s extension on earth to heal people. I think I love being a father more than being a husband.
“If you and somebody are you call a yoke in your faith, in your belief system, and so many other things, I think it works out. And I’ve never been able to do that. And I blame myself because I’ve never gone to God. In everything I’ve prayed for, I’ve never prayed for a wife. I have never gone to God and said, ‘God, give me a good woman,” he said.
When asked if he would remarry, Dr Obeng stated that marriage isn’t off the table, but it’s not a priority either.
He added that his focus lies with his children, his pharmaceutical plant, his practice, and his foundation.
“Right now, my pharmaceutical plant is my priority. My children, my plant, my practice and restore. These are my priorities. Right. And anyone who comes into my life is going to fall below all these things.
“So if I meet a woman I would say okay, God first, I’m number two, my kid’s number three, my business is number four, and you are not the last. You want to play that role? Be my guest,” he said.
When asked what he’d advise others, the doctor emphasized shared values and faith:
“Find somebody that you call a yoke… if you and somebody are yoked in your faith… It would work out,” he said.
