Charice undergoes cosmetic procedures for 'Glee'
MANILA, Philippines – Charice recently underwent non-invasive cosmetic procedures at the Belo Medical Clinic as part of her preparations for the second season of “Glee.”
It was Dr. Vicki Belo who did the thermage and Botox procedures on the 18-year-old international singing sensation.
While the 30-minute thermage procedure was painless, Charice was in tears as Belo injected Botox in her face, specifically in the jaw area. Charice admitted that she was afraid of needles.
Belo explained that the thermage and Botox were meant to make her “naturally round face” more narrow.
“Charice's face, I’ve been noticing, it's been getting wider… That’s why she looks mataba, although the body is very small, because your face is getting wide. One of the reasons for that, nagchew-chewing gum [siya]… Our chewing muscles, if you chew a lot of gums, it gets bigger,” Belo said.

“The other thing, she really has a natural round face. So what we did, we did thermage, pampaliit ng mukha ‘yon... ‘yong muscle [sa jaw area] na nagbu-bulge, puwedeng i-Botox para maging normal ulit. And then she will not chew gums anymore para maganda na siya sa ‘Glee.’”
The celebrity doctor said the effects of thermage and Botox will be gradual and visible in several months.
She said: “Thermage works in about 3 months. ‘Yong Botox, you will see the difference in about a month.”
‘Glee’ preps
Charice, for her part, said undergoing cosmetic procedures was now paramount especially since she will be appearing in one of the biggest shows in the United States.
“Lahat po ng mga tao inaasahan nila, ‘Ano kaya ‘yong itsura ni Charice? Karapat-dapat ba siyang itapat kay Rachel Berry?’ So, siyempre sobrang laki ng pressure,” she said.

She added: “Isa ito sa mga big preparation namin for ‘Glee.’ Gusto ko naman mag-mukhang fresh paglabas ng kamera.”
After the cosmetic procedures, Charice proceeded to Eastwood Park in Quezon City where 5,000 people watched her perform. Among Charice's special guests were Belo and the doctor's rumored boyfriend, Hayden Kho.

Just support Charice!!!
Ask yourself: "Bakit nga ba hindi agad sumikat si Charice sa Pilipinas? Bakit sa ibang bansa pa sumikat ng husto si Charice?"
Because of this reality: tayong mga pinoy mas importante ang kaanyuang-panlabas kaysa sa talento.
Bakit hindi masyadong sumikat si Bituin Escalante? Si Frenchie Dy?
Now, mag-react pa kayo? Just support Charice.
Why?
Oh Charice, why? Did you not hear what happened to Nora Aunor. Your voice is too precious to tamper with anything on your face. A good hairstyle and make-up could have achieved what you wanted. 'Hope it does not affect your voice.
blessing in disguise
compared to the rest of their bodies, top olympic swimmers, especially women, have unusually large shoulders. maybe chewing gums is good exercise for the jaws and muscles around the face, keep them pliable and in top condition. and in Charice's case, they're flexible and pliable enough to give her powerful voice in singing.
I read in the newspaper long ago that Barbra Striesand refused to have her big hook nose reshaped to a slimmer and more beautiful one. her reason: it might interfere with the acoustics in her nose and affect her singing. I hope Vicky Belo has informed Charice of the complications or unwanted side-effects of the cosmetic procedure done on her.
Charice has a natural beauty
Charice has a natural beauty that no amount of botox could ever enhance. It pains me to hear that she's had to shed tears over a cosmetic procedure. I hope it was solely her idea to do this - something she chose to do based on her own well-informed assessment of herself - and not the sheer consequence of some outside influence or recommendation. If she felt pressured into undergoing this procedure, then I think it's just plain not right. Her natural self is what I find so appealing, aside from the killer singing skills. She's a refreshing antidote to all the manufactured "talent" that is so ubiquitous nowadays and I hope she never strays from her origins. Hopefully this will be the extent of her foray into cosmetic enhancement, at least for a very, very long time.
