Amanda Bynes talks about her experience with blepharoplasty, a procedure that removes excess eyelid skin.
“I was never open about it before, but I actually had blepharoplasty surgery on the skin folds and the corner of my eyes. So I don’t have those skin folds anymore,” she shared in a video on her Instagram Story last week.
The former child star called it “one of the best things I could ever do for my confidence”, saying it was part of her “new look”.
Bynes, 37, rose to fame in the early 2000s starring in classic chick flicks What a girl wants, This is the man, Hair spray and Sydney White.
The last film he appeared in was Easy A alongside Emma Stone and Penn Badgley in 2010, but gave up acting and has now been out of the industry for over a decade. In an interview she did with Paper Magazine in 2018, she said she “literally couldn’t stand my appearance in that movie [Easy A]and I didn’t like my performance.”
