Actress Esther Gets Eyelid Surgery, Boyfriend Ken Goes Viral on TikTok
Thai actress Esther Supraleela revealed she underwent ptosis correction surgery on both eyes to fix weak eye muscles that made her appear sleepy. During a Channel 7HD interview, she discussed her one-month recovery and mentioned her boyfriend Ken Phuphum's new verified TikTok channel. Esther is currently on a work break, only accepting review jobs, with full recovery expected in two to three months.
After actress Esther Supraleela decided to undergo ptosis correction surgery on both eyes, she recently attended an exclusive press interview for the series "Song Song Tai" on the first floor of Building 7, Channel 7HD. She revealed the reason behind her decision: she previously had weak eye muscles, causing people around her to frequently ask if she was sleepy. She also gushed about her boyfriend Ken Phuphum, who has recently transitioned into a new TikTok influencer with a verified channel.
People noticed her eyes at an event yesterday — they looked swollen? "I went to fix my eye muscles, so there's a bit of a startled, surprised look right now." Then why did you go get it fixed? "Because people used to ask if I was sleepy. I'm actually not sleepy, but I recently realized my eye muscles are weak. So whenever I act or work, the moment they call 'action,' I have to strain to make my eyes look bigger. When I found the right timing, I decided to go do it." So it was an obstacle to your work? "Partly because I'm getting older, plus constantly having to strain my eyes. I felt it was better to fix it, to make my eye muscles look more alert." Did you do both sides? "Both sides." How long has it been? "Not long, just completed one month." Any concerns? "Not worried at all. The only concern was my weak eye muscles, so I went to a doctor." Did the doctor give any care warnings? "At first, I shouldn't move much — acting might not be possible yet. He locked the muscles to coordinate as quickly as possible." How does your male nurse at home (Ken Phuphum) take care of you? "Whenever he sees my face, he just laughs. I get startled. He teases me, then says, 'What are you startled about? I haven't even said anything yet.'" Any worry it'll hinder work since you're an actress needing expressions? "Not worried. It hasn't fully healed yet, but it'll get better over time. By then it should be normal." Did the doctor say how long? "At most 2 to 3 months for it to look natural. I'll get used to it. If you see Esther with weird eyes during this time, don't be startled (smiles). Before, people liked to tease: 'Open your eyes more, you look so sleepy.' Now I have to say: 'Don't be startled, my eyes are just small for now' (smiles)." Do people ask like that often? "If it's people asking if I'm sleepy, it happens often. Mostly crew members — they think I'm tired, but I'm not tired or sleepy, my eyes are just like this. Now I have to say: 'Don't be startled, my eyes are small' (smiles)." How is the eyelid surgery done? "I'm not sure at all. I realized I was asleep, woke up, and it was done." So it makes your face look better, prettier? "It should make my eyes look more alert, not sleepy." Speaking of work, have you been busy lately? "This period is a full break. Since the start of the year was quite heavy, now I'm just resting." But you've been seen at events frequently during this break? "Only this period. Mostly I've had a long break (my past breaks were just filming clips — is that work?). Yes, maybe just client work posting on our personal channels, nothing requiring going on set or heavy work." So it's just review work? "Yes." The next lakorn after this will...
