CATRIONA Gray recently opened up about undergoing liposuction, saying it helped boost her confidence.
The former Miss Universe made the revelation in a video by beauty doctor to the stars Vicki Belo, where she joined two other beauty queens: Michelle Dee and Celeste Cortesi.
“I even tried lipo for the first time here, at the back of my arms,” said Gray, who is a Belo Beauty ambassador, adding that “toning and tightening was really my goal.”
“You can see that’s just a little thing that I did, and I’m able to carry myself in a certain way,” she continued. “Because I feel that and that, you know, translates to confidence for me.”
Dee and Cortesi, who represented the Philippines in Miss Universe years after Gray won the crown, similarly admitted that they had liposuction.
“So it was during Miss Universe, before I left for the US,” Cortesi recalled, saying she underwent the procedure for her arms just two weeks before the pageant.
For her part, Dee said: “I did get lipo in the back, specifically around my waist. And yeah, it’s just a very small portion.”
“The thing is, as you grow up, we realize that we have stubborn areas… Of course I tried my best to lose weight but then it became really stubborn and you just need that extra love,” she added.
Gray, Dee, and Cortesi join the growing list of celebrities who have been candid about getting liposuction, such as Janella Salvador, Alodia Gosiengfiao, and Angeline Quinto.
