Charice, who became a singing success after appearing on Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey's talk shows, wanted her face "to look fresh on camera" before filming for Glee stars at the end of the month, the Associated Press reports.
The singer had a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening and Botox treatment to make her "naturally round face" more narrow, Vicki Belo, a celebrity cosmetic surgeon, told ABS/CBN television.
