Did Brenda Song have double-eyelid surgery?
Brenda hasn't ever mentioned that she had double-eyelid surgery. Nor is there any proof to signify that she went under the knife to change her eyelid form, with the exception of that her eyes may appear to have a rather other shape in recent times. This may be defined through her doing her make-up in a different way.
According to @celebrityplastics on Instagram, she "possibly" had the surgery and "possibly" had filler installed to slender down her face. But the Dollface actress has never showed these rumors and it kind of feels not likely that they're true. The photo above, taken in 2004, when she was 16, she seems to have a double eyelid, meaning that having the double-eyelid surgery would were redundant.
For comparability, this is her today at the age of 31.

Speaking to Teen Vogue, she stated, "I said, 'This character is in her late to mid-20s, an Asian American, and I can't even audition for it? I've auditioned for Caucasian roles my entire career, but this specific role, you're not going to let me do it? You're going to fault me for having worked my whole life?' I was like, 'Where do I fit?'"
