There are many reasons that people in Miami may be tempted to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Some believe that a few minor procedures could give them the edge they need to nail their next job interview, while others simply want to feel good about the way they look. Recently, TV anchor Julie Chen, best known for her work on “Big Brother,” opened up about her own plastic surgery on an episode of “The Talk.”

In a week filled with revelations, the co-hosts of the daytime talk show have all been sharing personal secrets, ranging from brief affairs to fertility struggles. When it was Julie Chen’s turn in the hot seat, she confided to her colleagues and an audience of millions that she had undergone eyelid surgery when she was 25 years old in a bid to further her career in broadcast journalism.

At the time, Chen explained that he was working at a news station in Ohio when her boss first made the suggestion. He reportedly said “I’ve noticed that when you’re on camera, when you’re interviewing someone, you look disinterested and bored because your eyes are so heavy,” Chen recounted. She was given the same instruction by various agents, and finally decided to get work done to make her eyes appear larger.

Her co-hosts, including Aisha Tyler and Sharon Osbourne, quickly showed their support for Chen and her decision, though she admitted she sometimes wondered if it was the right choice.
