Yes, Chow Yun-Fat had plastic surgery in the form of an eyelid surgery. Check out the transformation in the images below. Was the cosmetic procedure worth it? At least, the actor seems to believe so.
Chow Yun-fat is a Hong Kong actor who has a net worth of $200 million. He is best known in Asia for working with John Woo in genre films like “A Better Tomorrow” (1986), “Hard Boiled” (1992), and “The Killer” (1989), and he is known in the West for his roles in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000) and “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007). Chow became a household name in Hong Kong following his role in the hit 1980 series “The Bund.”
Yun-fat married actress Candice Yu in 1983, and they split up nine months later. He then wed Jasmine Tan on May 6, 1987, and sadly, they had a stillborn daughter in the early ’90s. Chow is the godfather of former child model Celine Ng. Though Yun-fat is extremely wealthy, he lives modestly and often uses public transportation. He owned the same Nokia phone for 17 years and didn’t upgrade to a smartphone until his Nokia phone stopped working. The Hong Kong website Jayne Stars reported that Chow only spends $800 HKD ($102 USD) each month, and he has said that he will leave his entire fortune to charity. Yun-fat told Jayne Stars in 2018, “My dream is to be a happy and normal person. The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner.” Chow received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from City University of Hong Kong in 2001 and a Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa from Hong Kong Baptist University in 2021.

"In the West, audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero."
