While she was working as a local news reporter, Chen found that her “Asian eyes” stood in the way of her job prospects. After facing many rejections – one comment was that her eyes made her look disinterested and bored – the 43-year-old Chinese-American woman finally decided have plastic surgery to make her eyes look bigger and “less Chinese”.
After the surgery, Chen admitted that the ball did roll for her career-wise and she said, “It got me to where we are today. And I’m not going to look back.” Post surgery, she admitted that her eyes are now bigger and look more alert and expressive. The blepharoplasty procedure she had done almost two decades ago could be a source of inspiration for women who wish to Americanize their eyes.
