Katrina Velarde, nagka-komplikasyon ang implant sa ilong

Nagsalita na si OPM diva Katrina Velarde sa pag-back out nito sa pag-perform sa two-day concert ng 98 Degrees last May sa Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

In a two-minute video she uploaded on Facebook last June 6, kinuwento ni Katrina ang dahilan ng pag-back out niya.

Ayon sa singer, she needed an immediate medical procedure to remove her silicone implant from her nose. “So after ko mag-post sa hindi ako makaka-attend sa 98 degrees and I had to cancel some commitments na dapat kakantahan ko. It’s because I need my nose implant removed as soon as possible, and it takes a while para mag-recover.

“So nagkaroon ako ng complications, for years after malagay ‘yung silicone implant sa ilong ko. Alam n’yo rin na I’m very open sa mga ginagawa ko. Sa pagiging robot ko or pagi­ging android ko, ‘di ba? At first I had Gore-Tex ni-reject din siya ng katawan ko right ahead and then I had it removed also.

“Tapos itong pangalawa, ito na ‘yung ngayon at nagkaroon na naman ako ng complications. So, it does really look like very rare na hindi tinatanggap ng katawan ko ang mga implants or foreign objects.”

Tinanggal ang implants niya sa tulong ni Dr. Eric C. Yapjuangco, more popularly known as Doc Yappy. “I did a very good recovery naman, pero nung nakaraan sobrang maga ako, hindi talaga kakayanin sa 98 Degrees, kasi talagang puffy talaga,” sey niya.
