The latest Filipino celebrity to talk about getting cosmetic enhancements is Antonette Gail Del Rosario.
Through a series of Instagram posts, the 19-year-old content creator documented her journey of undergoing the Brazilian Butt Lift treatment, also known as BBL, five months after her rhinoplasty in April 2023.
According to the dermatology center behind her transformation, The Icon Clinic, "Brazilian Butt Augmentation is done by harvesting fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other problem areas using Liposuction for a more shapely, sexy, hourglass figure.
"The harvested fat are then injected through small incisions into the buttocks to make them fuller and rounder.
"Normally it can inject about 300cc to 1,200cc of fat to each buttock depending on your size and preference."
During her second week post-operation on October 16, 2023, Antonette proudly shared her new look.
A week later, on October 20, she expressed a renewed sense of confidence in an empowering message to her fellow moms.
"Nawala na ang swelling [emoji]," she described.
"Super happy, may korte na yung body ko hindi kagaya before para akong nanganak ulit.
"To all moms out there, hindi porket may baby na tayo is hindi na natin kailangan magpaganda sa sarili natin [emojis]"
After a month, she showcased the current state of her figure when she visited the clinic for a post-op assessment.
Antonette gave birth to her firstborn with partner, TikTok star Whamos Cruz, earlier this year on January 23, 2023.
They named their baby boy Adriel Meteor D. Cruz.
