1. Ellen Adarna
During an episode of Kris TV, Ellen said she used to have monolids, saying: "It really makes a big difference. Kasi before I had it done, para akong antok palagi."
2. Geneva Cruz
The actress opened up about getting a nose job at 16 years old during an interview with Preview. "I did rhinoplasty because of other people, not because I wanted it. I always tell my family that if you want to change anything about your appearance you have to make sure that is what you really want," Geneva shared. She got surgery after a producer told her that her nose was "too big" for the movie screen.

In 2019, during an interview on Tonight With Boy Abunda, Chie confirmed that she got her nose done. She shared: "There's nothing wrong [with] enhancing something that you have. It's a choice. It's your own choice. As long as wala kang natatapakang tao, go with it."
4. Alex Gonzaga
During a vlog with Dr. Vicki Belo, Alex Gonzaga talked about the procedures she got at Dr. Vicki's clinic. True to her nature, Alex joked that she got a boob job at first but soon clarified: "Nagpa-thread lift ako at saka lips. Don't judge me. But very slight lang kasi ayaw ni doktora. Pero gusto ko talaga yung parang patusok. Ayaw niya. Very sweet lang."
5. Kryz Uy
In 2019, vlogger Kryz Uy got candid about undergoing eye surgery because she was born with monolids. According to Kryz, the first surgery didn't turn out right, so much so that Kryz found it hard to even open her eyes. The second one finally resulted in the eyes she wanted. "I think it's just our concept of surgery and society telling you that it's so wrong that makes it feel so wrong," Kryz shared. "But ever since I got it done, I felt amazing, I felt contented. I just feel so grateful that I got it done."
6. Janine Berdin
In her interview with Vice Ganda in 2020, singer Janine Berdin confirmed that she got her nose enhanced because it was her biggest insecurity. In the past, Janine said she felt sad about how she looked, telling Vice, "'Yon po talaga yung hinanap ko po talaga dati kasi parang nasa-sad po ako lagi, kahit na alam kong sobrang blessed po ako. Parang sa sarili ko po nanggaling yung...ako mismo yung naging source of sadness ko dati. Kaya ngayon, sobrang saya ko na po talaga. Nararamdaman ko na yung saya ko. Ang dami ring nagsasabi na nararamdaman nila yung saya ko."
7. Rica Peralejo
In a 2021 vlog, Rica Peralejo talked about her body insecurities and having an eating disorder when she was younger. She also talked about getting a boob job at 18 years old: "When I was trying to recall why I had it, I really cannot remember anything, like any reason. And all I can remember was it was gonna be very useful for my career back then because they wanted me to transition from teeny bopper to sexy-sexy na." Rica says she regretted it done and that she had it taken out. She adds that she isn't judging people who want or have implants. "Procedures that kinda medyo alter the way you look in a very aggressive way—think about them not only twice, thrice, but many, many times."

Never ko ikinahiya kung ano ang mga pinagawa ko. At hanggang ngayon napakalaking issue sa iba. Parte ho ng trabaho 'yon at kung may pangbayad naman bakit hindi." She ended her post with the hashtag #RetokePaMore. According to PEP, Angeline has had eyelid surgery, liposuction, and breast reduction surgery.

Para sa akin, Tito Boy, sa isang artista, gusto ko lagi akong maganda, lagi akong handa kung nasaan man ako. Gusto kong maipakita sa tao na, 'Ay, maganda pala si Miho. Maganda siya.' Kasi 'yon naman ang trabaho natin, lagi kailangan tayong maganda, maayos."

KitKat said the reason why she had her breasts and nose done more than once was because she switched doctors and endorsed each one of them.
