A lovelier Lovely Rivero By: Robbie Pangilinan- The Philippine Star- Mon.,Feb 22,2010
Here is one of the prettiest faces in That's Entertainment. Lovely Rivero's star shone at its brightest back in the 80's.
She remains beautiful today, now that she's in mid-life.
Still, Lovely admits there were times she looked in the mirror and saw an ugly, old woman. She started putting on weight and her usual excerise and diet regimen didn't seem to work as well as they used to.
Stubborn fat appeared in unflattering places. Her clothes didn't fit anymore. She felt depressed and lost interest in making herself beautiful.
With the new year coming in, Lovely decided to do something new.
"The new year always gives us hope and renewed enthusiasm to start fresh and try and be better persons. I felt it is good time to have a better body and start feeling good about my self again," Lovely shares.
And so, at the start of 2010, Lovely underwent a total body liposculture procedure.
"I wanted to feel good about my body and myself again. In show business, you have to look good ang younger than your age because that is part of the package. Looking good is an obligation and a responsibility. But, even as a regular person, I believe that when you look good, you feel good andbecome more productive because you are confident, energetic and ful of life," Lovely says.
"I 'm happy beyond words," says Lovely. "The little pain and discomfort brought about by the procedure was well worth it."
Lovely underwent the procedure at Contours Advanced Face and Body Sculpting Institute, the first and only cosmetic surgery center in the Philippines certified to do VASER High Definition Liposculture. The owner, Dr. Claudine Roura, did the procedure herself removing fat and scultping Lovely's arms, back, abdomen, hips, inner and outer thighs, legs and butt.
"People now notice my shoulders are in better shape. I never had the guts to wear sleeveless clothes because i have always been conscoius of my arms but now, I'm totally into tube and halter tops,' Lovely beams.
The star of numerous films said she is thankful for the body God has given her and believes enhancements and improvements are part of taking care of that body. For Lovely though, cosmetic procedures are never a remedy for deep-seated insecureties or emotional or mental imbalance. " You must first be a "whole" person inside so that whatever you do to improve your outside apperance can complement what or who
