20 Filipino Celebrities Who Admitted to Plastic Surgery And Injectables

In showbusiness, plastic surgery and injectables are practically a way of life. That's especially true in the Philippines where the likes of Dr. Vicki Belo and Dr. Aivee Teo are (almost) household names. That said, talking about getting something invasive done is another subject altogether. There are some stars, however, that live their life like an open book who have been honest about their experience under the needle and knife. Here are 20 Filipino celebrities who have admitted to getting something done.

Sharon Cuneta

"Been there, done that," was Sharon Cuneta's response to a reporter that asked her about going under the knife to reach her ideal weight. But, her past experience with liposuction has made her wary because of its short-term benefits. These days, she keeps healthy through a balanced diet and exercise. Aside from liposuction, the actress has previously spoken about getting botox as well as non-invasive treatments like Thermage and Ulthera to stimulate collagen.

Arci Muñoz

After being hounded with plastic surgery rumors in 2017, Muñoz was asked by a reporter whether she would confirm or deny them. She diffused the matter with ease, saying, "Deny? No, never, what's wrong with that? As if naman I committed a crime." Since then, the actress has said that she finds nothing wrong with plastic surgery.

Angeline Quinto

While many shy away from plastic surgery questions, Angeline Quinto took them head by referring to herself as a "proud retokada." She's admitted to having a nose job, eyelid surgery, botox, cheek fillers, liposuction, breast reduction, and treatments.

The internet went crazy when singer and songwriter Janine Berdin posted photos of herself on Instagram with a seemingly new look. She shortly spoke about her rhinoplasty procedure in an interview: "If there's something you don't like about yourself and you are not happy about it, then you can do something. Do something to make yourself happy. You only live once, hindi ba? Just do things that will make you happy."

Yes, I had my lips done. Or I have my lips done every now and then. It's fillers only." The actress went on to say that she realized her lips were too thin for her, and she wanted to have pouty and kissable lips.

And, that's exactly the look Pops Fernandez was going for when she got hers plumped in 2009. "I'm so obsessed kasi with my lips and I'm being honest I did have it plumped," she said during an interview at The Buzz. "Sometimes I lined it na alam mo 'yong nilalagpas ko talaga siya na akala ng tao sumusobrang over."

Kris Aquino

No stranger to keeping it real, Kris Aquino talked about her experience getting her nose done on her daytime talk show Kris TV after guest Vice Ganda let the whole thing slip. She says that while she doesn't know the name of the procedure, she remembers it being really painful.

I think if you're going to be adding so much, dapat proportional. In the past, I was 32B, now I am 32C. I just wanted to be enhanced. It's upsized but it's not really so big."

Pang tutukan! Saya! Thanks Dr. Lacson for taking care of my ganap sa boobs. I've been suffering from pain for more than a year because of my left boob. So now, okey na. I wanna share lang na kinaya ko ang lahat. Gogogo #booba"

Geneva Cruz
