Amanda Bynes, a former child star who stepped away from the public eye after declaring a “retirement” on Twitter at 24, has recently made headlines again due to her return to social media and her openness about personal changes, including cosmetic surgery and tattoo removal.
One of the notable transformations Bynes discussed openly was her blepharoplasty surgery, which she disclosed on her TikTok account. The surgery aimed to remove skin folds and alter the corners of her eyes, significantly enhancing her self-confidence and comfort with her appearance. Bynes expressed her satisfaction with the procedure, asserting that it positively impacted her self-esteem and how she perceives herself.
Her decision to undergo blepharoplasty places her among numerous individuals opting for this eyelid lifting procedure, a popular cosmetic surgery that has gained traction in recent years, even among Hollywood figures like Matt Damon and Jennifer Coolidge.
Apart from the surgery, Bynes has also been in the process of removing some of her tattoos. In 2019, she revealed a heart tattoo on her cheek through Instagram, acknowledging it later on her podcast while expressing her belief that face tattoos shouldn’t matter to others. However, she began the removal process for this tattoo in March 2022, as evidenced by an Instagram video displaying the fading of the tattooed heart. This wasn’t her first experience with tattoo removal, as she had previously removed a pair of angel wings from her arm in 2014. Despite these removals, Bynes has continued to get new tattoos, including one featuring the name “Paul,” her ex-fiancé, in gothic text on her wrist, as well as a red rose and the word “d*ck” on her bicep, spotted in 2022.
Bynes’ openness about these transformations highlights her journey toward self-confidence and self-expression, revealing a willingness to make personal changes and embrace new perspectives on beauty and appearance.
