Amanda Bynes got the eyelid surgery that is currently on the rise
Amanda Bynes has decided to address the commentary about her altered appearance head-on, revealing that, yes, she’s had cosmetic surgery on her face and, no, she has absolutely no regrets.
In an Instagram story on December 11, per People, Amanda shared with fans that she’d had blepharoplasty surgery. “I was never open about this before, but I actually had blepharoplasty surgery on the skin folds and the corner of my eyes,” she told her followers. “So I don’t have those skin folds anymore.”

The She’s the Man actor added that the procedure did wonders for her self-esteem. “It was one of the best things I could’ve ever done for my self-confidence, and it made me feel a lot better in my skin, so I just wanted to post about that just to clear up that rumor as to why I have a new look,” Amanda said. “I feel a lot better now about myself, and I’m so glad I had the blepharoplasty surgery. It was one of the greatest things I could’ve ever done.”
Blepharoplasty surgery is now one of America’s most popular plastic surgeries. And while plenty of celebrities are suspected of having had similar work done on their face, Amanda Bynes is one of the first to open up about it.
Here’s everything you need to know about the procedure…
What is blepharoplasty surgery?
Sometimes referred to as an eye lift, “blepharoplasty surgery, which is performed under local or general anaesthetic, aims to improve the appearance of drooping, tired eyes by removing excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids,” consultant cosmetic surgeon, Sujatha Tadiparthi, told GLAMOUR. “If there is visible bulging, some pockets of fat can be removed, but care is taken not to take too much away as it can lead to empty or hollow eyes.”
How long does the healing process take?
You will be able to go home the same day as the procedure, says Sujatha. While recovery times vary from person to person, you can expect to be off work for between seven to 10 days after eyelid surgery – at which point, the stitches are removed.
