Heart Evangelista recalls 'traumatic' cosmetic procedure experience

MANILA, Philippines — Kapuso star Heart Evangelista revealed that she was traumatized after undergoing lip fillers from a close friend who doesn't have a license for cosmetic procedures.

In her Instagram live, Heart said her lips turned out uneven. 

“I did get lip filler. I just didn’t want to talk about it because I was super traumatized, because when I got the lip filler, I went against Dr. Aivee,” she said, referring to celebrity doctor Aivee Teo. 

“I didn’t do it with her. I did it with somebody that was very, very close to me, but he didn’t have the license to do my lips,” she added. 

Heart said that she trusted her friend to do her lips but he failed. 

“I trusted him. Kumbaga, budol na budol ako, so ginawa ko ‘yung lip filler. Ni hindi ko alam kung ano ‘yung nilagay niya sa lips ko but basically, uneven ‘yung lips ko,” she said. 

"Never tayo magpapabudol ever again… Actually, technically, pwedeng-pwede [siya makulong] kasi wala siyang lisensya tapos malpractice pa,” she said. “Sobrang nagpasa-pasa. I had pain.

"It was so bad so I had a doctor [who] had to take it out and fix it because it was really, really bad. I was in denial for a time. I really thought that mahal ako ng taong ‘yon pero na-malpractice ako."
