Sharon Cuneta openly talked about her scars on both arms, which she got after undergoing surgery to remove her excess skin. She shared that she is taking treatments to improve their appearance.
It can be recalled that Cuneta in 2023 revealed that she had undergone a cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin off her body after she lost over 100 pounds.
The Megastar showed her scars during a recent clinic appointment with her dermatologist Dr. Aivee Teo, as seen in the video shared on the latter’s Instagram page on Thursday, March 20.
“That’s the one, my surgery—when we removed skin,” Cuneta said while Teo was holding her arm and tracing the long vertical scars on the actress-singer’s arms.
“Imagine ang laki ng excess skin d’yan na tinanggal,” Cuneta added. “This is what I’m saying—the scars. Sana we have treatment.”
Teo then documented the skin procedures that she did to improve the discoloration and skin quality of Cuneta’s scars.

With her weight-loss journey already in its ninth year, Cuneta said she stepped up her routine this year to lose the “last several pounds” based on her goal.
Aside from removing her excess skin on her arms, Cuneta disclosed that she also underwent breast reduction “because it was all skin.”
“Because I lost so much weight, naturally, mas sagging ‘yung skin,” she said. “Ang payat-payat ko na, ang laki pa ng balat. So, ipinatanggal lang ‘yung extra skin, ‘yun lang.”
“And I don’t want to hide it. There’s no reason to, hindi naman nakakahiya,” she added.
