Instead of saving up for his school fees and expenses, Jeffrey Lobos, a student who works part time as a fish vendor, used up his P45,000 to have his nose done.

Besides wanting to improve his looks, he says he underwent surgery to augment his self-confidence.

Join Ted Failon as he explores the lengths Filipinos go to look beautiful, even patronizing beauty clinics that offer cheap plastic surgery services, which may be affordable but hazardous.

Lured by inexpensive prices and the desire to be beautiful, anyone could fall victim to unlicensed “doctors” who perform complex procedures on the body.

How could physical appearance be important to a 19-year old like Jeffrey?
