Heart Evangelista Recalls Traumatic Lip Filler Experience
"I did get lip filler. I just didn't want to talk about it because I was super traumatized," Heart divulged.
Heart, who is an endorser of The Aivee Clinic, said that she didn't get the procedure done by Dr. Aivee Teo. Instead, it was done by a nurse who was "was very, very close to me" but "did not have the license."
"When I got the lip filler, I went against Dra. Aivee. I didn't do it with her. I did it with somebody [who] was very, very close to me, but he didn't have the license to do my lips. But I trusted him," she recalled.
She added: "Kumbaga, budol na budol ako, so ginawa ko yung lip filler."
Heart claimed that she didn't know what the nurse put in her lips, but the result left her with "uneven lips" which made her want to look for a doctor to have them fixed.
"Hindi ko alam kung anong nilagay niya sa lips ko, but basically, uneven yung lips ko, and you guys were bashing me about it. I just didn't want to tell you."
"Of course, I went to the same person. He's not a doctor. I think he's a nurse. Same person because, of course, they convinced me that they can fix it. It was super uneven, so, that's why," she thinks back.
It eventually got so painful and bruised that Heart had to go to a reputable doctor to dissolve the fillers and fix her lips.
"Sobrang nagpasa-pasa. I had pain. I had ganyan and it was so bad. So, anyway, I had a doctor really, like, have to take it out and fix it because it was really, really bad," she recalled.

What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers have become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today. According to the Cleveland Clinic, lip fillers are a type of injection that can add volume to your lips to make them appear fuller and plumper. The filler consists of synthetic hyaluronic acid.
