According to Arci, she had to go under the knife after suffering from a severe injury to her nose.
Though plastic surgery has been slowly accepted in some parts of Asia, many Filipinos aren’t quite used to it. As a matter of fact, celebrities who are proven to have gone under the knife are often criticized. The most recent celebrity who was bashed and shunned by the public was Arci Muñoz, an actress known for her natural beauty. Fans across the nation were disappointed at her extreme transformation that she was forced to wear a mask in public.
It all started when photos of the ‘new’ Arci Muñoz went viral online. Netizens immediately noticed that there was something different about her look. It was obvious: her nose became more defined, and her lips, fuller. It was until more and more people noticed the change that Arci finally addressed the rumors.
“Nagpapakapal naman talaga ako ng lipstick, nilalagpasan ko ‘yung lipstick ko. If I remove my lagpas lipstick, I’ll look the same,” she explained.
[I made my lips look fuller with more lipstick. I intentionally put lipstick beyond my real lips to make it look bigger. If I remove my lipstick, I will look the same.]
Muñoz also made it clear that she has nothing against people who choose to undergo plastic surgery.
“It’s open naman, ‘di ba? Ako personally, I’m not against [plastic surgery]. It’s my body, and whatever is going to make me feel more comfortable and more confident sa aking sarili…I’ll do it,” she said.
However, she revealed her real reason for going under the knife as the result of an accident. Arci says she was “headbanging” at a concert when her head accidentally hit a microphone stand. Arci Muñoz appeared very conscious when she was asked by her “Etiquette for Mistresses” co-star Kris Aquino about the accident. Arci says the left side of the bridge of her nose was heavily damaged as well as her left eye.
Following criticisms and attacks by bashers online, Arci was seen wearing a large mask, covering her entire face except her eyes. Though it wasn’t clear why she was wearing a mask exactly, many people believe it was because she wanted to cover her nose to avoid being criticized by the public.
