P100,000</strong></div><p>To change the bridge and width of his nose, Arizala had to undergo two operations at the Icon Clinic. </p><p>He had a rhinoplasty that changed the shape of his nose, and an alarplasty to trim its width, Dr. Eric Yapjuangco said in an interview.</p><p>The cosmetic surgeon told reporters that Arizala&#x27;s nose job amounted to about P100,000 as a Gore-Tex implant had to be attached to his nose&#x27;s bridge.</p><div><strong>CHIN<br/>approx. P70,000</strong></div><p>To give the former Hasht5 member a more defined jawline, his chin was reshaped by installing a medical-grade silicone implant. Yapjuangco said the chin enhancer would last a lifetime.</p><div><strong>TEETH<br/>approx. P170,000</strong></div><p>Arizala&#x27;s front teeth were crooked and his bite was misaligned, aesthetic dentist John Crespo said.</p><p>Crespo said ceramic veneers - porcelain attached on each tooth to augment its shape - had to be placed on his anterior teeth.</p><p>Crespo has yet to respond to ABS-CBN News&#x27; inquiries about the dental procedure, but other dentists said that each ceramic veneer costs between P18,000 to P25,000. At least eight veneers were attached to Arizala&#x27;s teeth.</p><p>Aside from the cosmetic dental procedure, Arizala also availed of dental filling and prophylaxis to eliminate cavities and stains.</p><div><strong>EYE BROWS<br/>P35,000</strong></div><p>Cashmere-colored strands were added to Marlou&#x27;s eyebrows to make them thicker and more masculine.</p><p>The Pretty Looks Aesthetics Center said the procedure cost P35,000 as it was Sue Hanna Ong - the company&#x27;s chief operating officer and top doctor - who did the stranding for the former Hasht5 member.</p><div><strong>EYE LASHES<br/>approx. P1,500</strong></div><p>Asia&#x27;s Lashes gave Arizala semi-permanent eyelashes to enhance and liven up his lids.</p><div><strong>LIPS<br/>P35,000</strong></div><p>Arizala&#x27;s lips were also tinted to reduce the dark color and make his lips more kissable. This is a three-session procedure that ranges from P15,000 to P35,000.</p><p>Another P1,000 is charged for every &quot;retouch&quot; session.</p><div><strong>ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT<br/>P21,000</strong></div><p>The internet sensation also availed of anti-wrinkle treatments from Pretty Looks Aesthetics Center.</p><p>At least P7,000 is charged for each area or body part where the treatment will be performed. </p><p>An attendant from the clinic said Arizala needed the treatment on his forehead, neck and jaw.</p><div><strong>HAIRSTYLE<br/>P2,500</strong></div><p>No transformation will be complete without a change in hairstyle. SandreaLee Salon gave Arizala a new cut and dyed his tresses.</p><div><strong>OTHERS</strong></div><p>Yapjuangco said Arizala still has to undergo skin whitening treatments and other procedures to give him a smoother and fairer complexion. </p><p>&quot;Kasi medyo magaspang &#x27;yung mukha so kailangan natin pakinisin and pinapaputi natin siya,&quot; Yapjuangco said.</p><p>The cosmetic surgeon made no mention of what kind of treatments these will be or how much these would cost.</p><p>Arizala also said he procured grey contact lenses.</p><p>Based on these estimates from Arizala&#x27;s sponsors, his transformation to become Xander Ford has a price tag amounting to P435,000.</p><p>But Arizala did not have to shell out nearly P.5 million since he had sponsors. </p><p>But the teen who hopes to join the ranks of Daniel Padilla, Enrique Gil, and James Reid said the physical pain of undergoing several procedures in a short period of time was more unbearable than his hefty transformation bill.</p><p>&quot;Gusto kong may mabago lang sakin para maging iba din yung tingin ng tao sa &#x27;kin,&quot; said Arizala who used to be the butt of jokes because of his looks.</p>
