Despite being estranged from Honey Boo Boo for over a year, sources revealed that Sugar Bear is aiming to reconcile after completing his treatment.

In other news, Sugar Bear underwent a remarkable cosmetic and dental transformation. The makeover, amounting to $66,800, was provided as a courtesy from Hollywood experts.

“I haven’t stopped looking in the mirror,” he said. “I don’t recognize the man in the mirror.” He also added, “I never thought I could have a smile I would be proud of. And I really love the Botox because I look a lot younger.”

As part of the new look, Sugar Bear underwent a hair transplant costing $30,000, which involved receiving “over 3,500 FUE grafts to restore the first half of his scalp.” Unfortunately, the former TLC personality has encountered difficulties lately, including a reported breakup with his most recent girlfriend last month.
