Suzy — the South Korean singer and actress — has set tongues wagging lately with a few high-profile photos showing after a cosmetic eye procedure to remove a visible mark close to her iris.
Industry insiders commented on Suzy's glowing look at a photo call event for the Celine flagship store on December 1, especially noting her clear and bright eyes. That mole-like spot Suzy had had for years was now gone.
According to media reports, the 29-year-old star had her conjunctival nevus, a pigmented spot on the sclera caused by the accumulation of melanin cells, removed.
Conjunctival nevi gradually form around the iris and are more frequently seen in Asian populations.
Some health experts estimate that one in 2,500 South Koreans live with this condition.If they do not threaten vision or the general health of the eyes, they are often removed for cosmetic reasons. It was a simple procedure that typically takes only five to ten minutes, performed using a laser or a chemical peel.
Prolonged usage of contact lenses, sunlight, wind, fine dust, and trauma are among the factors contributing to the development of these spots. That said, experts point to protective eyewear and reduced eye rubbing as ways to limit conjunctival nevi.
Social media has seen fans and followers express how much they love the 'new' Suzy that came following the procedure.
In other news, Suzy recently shot a pictorial for Harper's Bazaar, where she is seen flaunting her fashion sense as the latest global ambassador for Celine.
