Geneva Cruz Shares Her Explant Journey at 50: Smaller, Lighter and Happier
Singer-actress Geneva Cruz has opened up about her decision to have her breast implants removed, saying she is now happier with a more natural figure. The 50-year-old performer and Philippine Army reservist underwent explant surgery about two and a half months ago and has been documenting the experience on social media.
In a post on November 6, Geneva shared a reel from September showing how thin she looked before the procedure. As reported by ABS-CBN Entertainment, she said she weighed only 110 lbs at 5’6″ because she was training constantly but not eating much. When she consulted her surgeon Doc Yappy in June, he advised her to gain at least 5 lbs, and she ended up gaining 14 lbs before her August surgery.
Geneva said she initially expected that fat might need to be transferred to her chest once the implants were taken out, but it turned out to be unnecessary. She joked that the extra pounds “found a happy home around my hips and thighs.”
She is now back to 120 lbs, which she called her “sweet spot,” though she wants to keep it with less fat and more muscle. She also thanked her doctor for the results. “My bewbs are smaller now, but perkier, lighter, and just right for me. And apparently, my attitude is perkier now, too! Haha!” she wrote.
In an earlier post, Geneva explained why she chose to do it now. “I’ve always known I’d have them removed someday, and I felt now was the right time—para habang mas bata, I really don’t want to go under general anesthesia when I’m older than I am now,” she said, adding that she felt “lighter, freer, and excited for what’s ahead.”
According to KAMI, Geneva rose to fame as a member of Smokey Mountain, the singing group formed by Ryan Cayabyab, before building a career as a singer and actress. She lives an active lifestyle with her daughter London.
The former Smokey Mountain singer also stressed that age should not limit what anyone can do. “Age is a number, not a limitation. I’m 50, I’m proud of it, and I’m nowhere near done growing,” she wrote.
For Geneva, the explant is not just about appearance but about starting a new chapter with strength, confidence and comfort in her own skin.
