To celebrities, what question is frequently asked besides their loving affairs? It's plastic surgery. And
many perfect-looking pop stars keep denying they have changed their facial appearance. Some even get
angry at any claims thatthey've been under the knife.
So it was a bit shocking when Chinese singer Heng Yue boldly announced last month she would have
plastic surgery, becoming the first celebrity to do so in the mainland.
Heng, with a broad range and penetrating (有穿透力的) voice, had been invited to sing the theme song
for Chen Kaige's film The Promise and TV drama such as Ma Dashuai and Liu Laogen. But the popularity
of the songs shaded her. Her look just wasn't very charming.
On March 24, Heng, who declined to reveal her age, endured2 18 operations on her face. It was a
comprehensive 8-hour plastic surgery job including nose reshaping and eye operations, said to cost around
650,000 yuan.
"I am so fond of singing," said Heng, "I'm hoping to go further in my career as a singer. However, I've
found my plain looks are making me less competitive."
Heng said that many TV shows were interested in her singing, but rejected her, saying that she looked
just so so. So the chance went to someone who looked more attractive or charming on camera.
Certainly, Heng's not the only star to go seeking perfection. Tian Yungcheng, a doctor specializing in
plastic surgery, said that Heng was just one of about 200 stars he had operated on.
"Whenever we turn on the TV, mose of the celebrity faces on stage, I believe, have had operation." Tian
said.
"Pop stars are reluctant to tell anyone about their surgery since they're under the pressure from the public
who find it hard to accept fake beauty. But I don't see it as wrong if a person just wants to be perfect or have
a more pleasant look for others to appreciate." Tian said.
