Tavia Yeung Gets Plastic Surgery to Look Younger for Him Law?
Lacking confidence in her looks, Tavia Yeung (楊怡) has allegedly attempted various cosmetic enhancements to better match boyfriend Him Law’s (羅仲謙) youthful face.
Despite her repeated attempts to deny the gossips, Tavia is frequently accused of plastic surgery due to the changing shape of her nose. Apparently not yet satisfied, she allegedly sought additional treatments on her lips, chin, and skin in order to appear younger and more beautiful.
With a five-year age gap between herself and her boyfriend, local media speculates that Tavia may be threatened by her aging looks, made worse when standing next to Him’s eternal baby face. Because Him had earlier expressed that he is approaching the right age for marriage, some believe that Tavia is working hard to enhance her looks in order to remain attractive to Him.
Others also believe that she is making the cosmetic effort in order to take her career to a new level. Despite her TV Queen title, Tavia has yet to see opportunities beyond the Hong Kong TV market. With her TVB contract expiring this month, she is allegedly trying to upgrade her image in order to attract more bids and to negotiate better terms.
Although both speculations are probable, Tavia may simply be hiding a low self-esteem. Currently filming Qing dynasty drama The Paintings of Bureaucracy <官場浮世繪>, the 34-year-old often comes to work in full make-up to avoid running into reporters with a bare face. A source said, “She cares more and more about her looks. Nowadays she must beautify herself first before meeting anyone. She becomes agitated when cameras are close-by, worried that reporters will capture her profile.”
Despite her cautious nature, Tavia was spotted with only light make-up as she headed to the studio set on March 12. Hesitant to show her face to the camera, Tavia initially tried to avoid reporters but later posed while facing them directly, seemingly trying to prevent any profile shots. She spoke little about her contract renewal, saying only that she still has at least one more series to film with TVB. As for potential marriage plans, Tavia laughed it off as always, leaving the public to wonder whether she and Him will ever tie the knot.
Him Responses on Tavia’s Plastic Surgery Rumors
Although cornered by the press to comment on reports that Tavia has upgraded her looks through plastic surgery, Him took the opportunity to compliment that Tavia is a beautiful woman instead and shot down the news as pure gossip. Him also attributed Tavia’s outstanding looks onscreen to TVB’s expert lighting crew. Asked if he can accept his girlfriend undergoing plastic surgery, Him replied, “I don’t care about my girlfriend’s outer appearance; I only value her thoughts. It’s impossible that I don’t change in appearance when I turn 50 years old, otherwise it would be even scarier.”

He doesn’t have a baby face. Don’t men age faster anyway?
Yeah, probably. But his babyface is no big deal because when he opens his mouth and talks, then he even sounds more of a kid. The things he says and his voice…….Thought Tavia would go for someone more mature and manly.
I’ve listened to some of his radio interviews and also watched a fair few of his interviews…his mindset and way of thinking seems very mature for his age imo. I don’t think having a ‘babyface’ or whatever face determines whether or not someone’s character/personality is mature or manly…
I thought Him was very considerate when he said
““I don’t care about my girlfriend’s outer appearance; I only value her thoughts. It’s impossible that I don’t change in appearance when I turn 50 years old, otherwise it would be even scarier.”
agreed, he is not as good looking as people say, many better than him , he looks fake. and i really don’t like his personality anyway,in his previous news with other female artist.
I think women age faster…
I think so too. Females age faster.
No women generally age faster. I do not think the age gap is a big deal if the women looks youthful,but in thus case,Tavia just has a really mature look so the fact that she is older really stands out. However,I think if Him likes her for who she is then I do not think she needs to go through PS to try to look younger. There is way more to anyone rather than looks.
You know who has baby face? Sammul Chan..
“Tavia Yeung Gets Plastic Surgery to Look Younger for Him Law?”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
She did it for TVB the love of her life, not Him. I am sure some fortune teller must have told her “To succeed, you must stretch your nose” or something like that. Him Law? Nahhh just a contract to that end!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
She should ditch the gloss and heavy make up on screen and go with light make up. The make up not only ages her but just wholly inappropriate for the characters she is playing. And people do age; the art is aging gracefully. See Michelle Yim.
Now, let’s assume what this article says is true, it is all to match Him’s youthful looks. There is a cheaper way. Dump him and find an older but hotter guy, like Kevin.
I hate what she has done to her looks. She is not prettier, she looks sillier. She was much better in the past or when he nose has yet to reach the gigantic status. And now the make up is spoiling everything, the amount of highlighter and what nots. Suddenly Maggie Siu looked so much younger standing next to her.
Mostly agree but I still think Tavia is quite pretty and has mega screen presence and acting skills. The only thing that is annoying is seeing that nose in certain angles. And, what’s even more annoying is that it’s probably not fixable.
I thought the procedure is reversible?
Well, I’m dubious because once skin is stretched out, doesn’t it lose it’s elasticity?
I feel Kenix Kwok has done the same.
Good suggestion Funn,maybe she should go for someone like Kevin. That is why my mom told me she would object to me dating a younger guy because women just generally age faster then men do.
i agree. i think her heavy make up is actually very aging. i’m sure she’d look younger with lighter makeup.
I totally thought that too!
Tavia does seem a little obsessed with her looks! She has such heavy eyeliner/mascara on in “Storm in a Cocoon” and it does not fit her character. Her character is supposed to be poor and a factory worker! How would a factory worker have such a nice ponytail (it’s fancier than my ponytail) and have so much time/money to spend on makeup!
I also noticed that in both Hippocratic Crush I and II she wore 3-inch heels as a doctor!!! As if a specialist working in a hospital would wear 3 inch heels!!! Has anyone seen Grey’s Anatomy? Everyone wears sneakers and scrubs! For goodness sake, she needs to play the character on screen first, and leave the heavy makeup at home.
Ugh thank you Funn for also spotting this. I have been wanting to rant about Tavia for a while now.
She was so much prettier with her natural nose. Now her face just looks gross, plastic and unnatural.
I wouldn’t say gross, she is not that terrible. I thought maybe the make up is the make up dept’s decision? For some reason they just love to put so much lip gloss on her? Surely her skin is not so bad that she needs layers of foundation, highlighters and what nots?
Ok, so I’m not reading wrong things. She did make her nose bigger right?
All these HK actresses with the big eyes, do you think it’s all makeup or did they get surgery for them to look so big and round?
Funn I totally agree with you. She most likely did it for Tvb and maybe Him Law as a side reason. And I the new series Maggie does look younger than Tavia when they stand next to each other. It is very inappropriate for her character to have eye liner, fake eye lashes contacts shinny make up on a country girl in china in like the 1900s
she look older now to be honest and wouldnt it affect her acting with too much surgery n botox.
She used to be so pretty and now is just unrecognizable – a shell of her former self.
Her increasing thin and long face just makes her appear older.
Yeah and that nose! Eww that’s all I can focus on when I watch her. It just looks very unnatural and even gross at certain angles…:(
I do agree with you people that less is best and that Tavia should stop all the ‘remedies’ used to improve her looks. I had always thought that she looked pretty enough when younger. And I like Funn’s comment that there is a cheaper way to all this expense by having an older boy friend, a joke, nevertheless.
Still think she’s pretty, just too heavy of makeup. However her onscreen charisma and acting makes up for it!!
Love her regardless 🙂
This is also a good picture of her!!
Is that a recent pic of Tavia?
Yes!! Very, the magazine for this picture was released about a week ago
if the picture is the recent then she look gorgeous on the above photo..hahaha..look so pretty..
Yes this photo is recent from her recent magazine interview.
Ah, I see. Thanks all.
Well, she looks better with light makeup though photoshop probably played a part, lol
Well, photoshop always plays a part in almost every magazine shoot nowadays. I think she’s beautiful regardless.
Photoshop does wonders.
Well as long as she avoids doing anything to her Pinocchio nose, I’m good!
Yea her nose had made her series hard to watch. I tend to focus on her nose when she’s acting.
I concur. her nose is really the centre of attention when she acts.
The girl has serious acting chops. Her onscreen presence is just phenomenal. Love her chemistry with Steven Ma in SIAC. The heavy make-up, PS nose doesn’t bother me at all. Just as long as she doesn’t end up going the Dodo Cheng/ Michael Jackson route. Hehe.
Agree!
Her best performance for me was BTROC!:)
But my brother notices the nose and every time he sees her, he’s like “her noseee!!!”
It is not just your brother,my mom is a nose fan and always notices it and asks me if Tavia had a nose job.
LOL, wtf ‘nose fan’ xD haha
Well, I wouldn’t say my brother is a nose fan, but he does comment a lot on her nose 😀
If she wants to have plastic surgery, then it’s her personal choice and I respect her decision. But like you said, hopefully she won’t end up like Dodo Cheng. Personally, I think she looks pretty the way she was before the plastic surgery.
Oh gosh,do not remind me of Dodo.that one photo of her face looking like a pile of burned plastic still scares me that I really wonder if everyone who has too much PS will end up like that?
Why did Dodo go through PS? She was average looking and now creepy looking, lol.
The speculations made in this article is somewhat hilarious, especially the ones made concerning her trying to impress Him. And it never strikes me that Him carries a baby face and still don’t.
Tavia doesn’t seem like the type to care for plastic surgery much despite that long nose. In fact, she looks much youthful before she had the new nose. I believe her sister, Griselda is only a year or two older than her and she still looks fine despite already having had a child. I feel that Tavia’s pointy nose might have gave her sharper features, but took away her youth too. Griselda looks sweeter than her nowadays.
If she must keep her new nose, I prefer seeing her with short hair, similar to her look in the original Hippocratic Crush. At least she can maintain a more professional and clean-cut look. I’m not really a fan of her shoulder length hair these days.
I think Tavia’s sister looks younger than her even though she is older.
Agree. Griselda looks sweeter and younger.
I also agree. I love watching her sister act as well 🙂
Agree. I like Griselda too. I’m not too bothered by Tavia’s nose, as long as it doesn’t get any bigger. Heavy make up also not an issue, although a true professional will adjust their appearance to suit the role they are acting. So that’s the reason why I comment on Tavia’s make up for Storm in a cocoon. But really love her and Stephen.
Concur as well.
Like my mum said plastic surgery only makes you good for the following 5-10 and then you are zoom with a ugly face. That’s how my mum scare me away from plastic surgery lol. I always feel tavia is prettier than charmaine but why why she under the knife. She was very pretty to me!! 🙁
Really?!
He doesn’t have a babyface. He is in his mid to late 20s, so it is normal. Such a misuse of the term. If you want to see babyface, use Joseph Gordon Levitt as an example, or even Michael J Fox (despite his Parkinsons)
If Tavia feels insecure, then maybe they shouldn’t marry. After all, the age difference was always going to come into play if they were concerned about looks
Anyone that says tavia looks ‘pretty’ or ‘prettier’ BEFORE her PS has not seen her natural untouched face. Go click on the sources and see for yourself. The pictures of tavia looking ugly is NOT a bad picture, it’s how she looks like BEFORE she had PS. I thought there was a lot of hardcore fans on jaynestars and knows what tavia looks like BEFORE her PS. She had her face fixed way before she was upgraded to first lead.
Both of them look just as plastic, seriously, she looks better before her plastic nose.
On the other hand, we are more concerned with their acting skills…
Seriously I don’t like her nose. I remember Raymond Lam and her earlier look in Eternal Happiness. Both her and RL before PS. And Kenneth Ma was in the drama too. They have their own looks rather than the current PS-industrialised looks. I would rather they keep looking youthful with collagen japs or whatsoever than having modified the physical appearances.
Does it honestly take a rocket scientist to understand a simple fact: an actor or actress’ face plays a large part in their acting skill. It’s how they show emotions, happy, sad, scared, etc. how else are they going to show their inner emotions? Twitch their toes? Tavia’s face is so tight and emotionless its effecting her acting skills. Not to mention her nose is extremely repulsive for me, i am literally scared of looking at her face because its so messed up. So it makes it very difficult to look at her face and attempt to understand what her inner emotions are, I can only rely on her voice.. I would much rather watch a naturally ugly actress than an actress that is laced with Botox and added a couple of oz of plastic on their face that scares the sh!t out of me.
wow…………honestly tavia already done a few times on her nose already for plastic surgery and now she needs to look younger for him law OMG IS SHE serious??????
Not worth it. Him Law’s abusive behavior toward his ex-girlfriend is unforgiven. Stay away
So what if tavia really done her nose Job, as long as she’s happy and that’s her own bussiness and she don’t need an approval from the world for that. dont know why the media always like to dug up actress or actor if they done a PS, for Me tavia is look more prettier and Elegant than before.’
If she’s so happy about it then she wouldn’t constantly change her appearance.
Tavia’s acting is still very good in SIAC. There are many beautiful profiles of her in this drama. For eg, the scenes of her & Steven trapped in the basement, she looked beautiful.Not to mention her chemistry with Steven is awesome & makes it great to watch. PS has been & will always be part of the entertainment industry. Even older actresses must be using botox, otherwise how to explain their flawless complexion. In Korea it seems to be a norm, so whats the big fuss. It’s a personal choice & they all hv to live with it. Even GPs these days offer jabs to enhance nose shapes etc etc…just consider it as technology advancement in the beauty industry :). In Tavia’s case, it does seem like she had a makeover. I hv watched tv programmes on makeovers & the person does look so different with enhanced looks. So it is not necessarily just PS. Anyway, i’m enjoying her acting, her offscreen wit & humour, down to earth personality, no complaints.
PS is made to enhance a person’s looks not make it worst. If she’s happy with her nose then she wouldn’t be so against taking pictures of her side profile. I’ve heard of her refusing to take pics of her side profile numerous times. My friend in Hk has heard of her refuse to take pictures of her side profile at an event. So obviously she’s not too happy with her nose.
Makeup is not advanced to the point where you can have your nose appear 2-3 cm higher on your side profile. Unless Tavia goes through the trouble daily of making a silicone nose and glues it onto her natural nose, then puts on another half a cm of concealer and foundation, I fail to see how it’s even possible to make your nose appear 2-3 cm higher on your side profile with foundation, contouring or other ‘magical’ methods of makeup.
It doesnt make sense that Tavia would refuse to be photographed side ways cos when they shoot a drama, they would shoot profiles from left, right & centre. Whatever it is, i also find Tavia more elegant & prettier at various events offscreen like when she attended award ceremonies/events outside of HK. There was a beautiful photo of her at Pavilion KL where she was invited for a jewelry promo. She stood amongst other non Asian models & glowed beautifully. Too much hassle to find & post the photo here, but fans who hv been following her news & events would know about this.
Tavia is definitely not happy with her nose. I think,she may regret whet she has done to it but sadly I do not think that it is reversible.
No matter what I’m still a Tavia fan from the very start!!!
Actually my cousin sent me some recent pictures of Tavia from the news, she looks awful. The above picture is from a magazine, obviously, it got photoshop!!!
I don’t agree she got amazing acting skills..she is really just passable. Probably slightly better than some of the fan dan since she has been around for a long while! But to me, none of her characters in the series are not replaceable. No memorable roles.
Still super pretty, always like her acting
Unfortunately women age faster than men. That’s why if we’re same age as the men, we would look older sooner or later. Of course not 100% but most of the time, unless the woman has a baby face.
If women age faster, it’s because men and/or kids stress women out. haha 🙂
LOL
What’s all the fuss about the nose?? Don’t bother me when watching her drama. I don’t mind her acting and personality too. I don’t think she look awful. She’s actually not bad looking.,
I know, i never get why ppl keep on saying she has a PS nose? i thought she always look about the same when she first came out? She’s actually prettier than a lot of TVB actresses’.
She did have an altered nose. even the eyes are different.
But the picture above shows her as feminine. Maybe because she has this feminine soft looking hair and the nose isn’t prominent. I will never get why she did what she did, except for fortune purposes. She should stop for now and let it settle down and not enhance anymore. Or anywhere else for that matter.
But everyone is right; it shouldn’t diminish her acting abilities even if it is distracting. Enjoying her performance very much in Storm even if she had this very thick lip gloss on but I suspect that is more make up dept than her.
I found her original nose already good looking so I do not get why she had an altered nose for,unless for fortune purposes if she believes in that stuff. I heard that those with big and hideous looking noses are lucky and are able to bring in a lot of fortune. But who knows if any of that is true.
I’ve never find Tavia pretty. The first time I saw her was in The Academy (not sure whether she had done any PS then) and didn’t find her pretty while my friend said she was. The part that sticks out to me most is actually her lips instead of her nose, which does not look good when she cry. But I’m fine with watching her in dramas overall.
I believe that every woman will want to look good for the one they love, so I’m not against Tavia having plastic surgery if she really did. Also, there’s nothing wrong with her wearing makeup out to prevent getting snapped bare-faced, I admit I myself am quite insecure and don’t let people take pictures of me when I’m not wearing makeup.
I personally like Tavia’s acting a lot, especially the crying scenes, but I do agree with most of you, her nose really aggravated me, it’s just weird looking, probably PS went wrong. So disappointed she’s taking this road. She always look good before, but now her nose ruin her look completely.
I would agree that tavia’s nose looks better before….there seems to be more fat on the tip of the nose nowadays…?
I still find her very pretty however. I just wish she could do something to go back to her old nose! And lose the gloss. My gawd way tooo much!!
It’s always a bonus that she’s a great actress! It deflects away from her nose.
My think we’re all so concerned about it is because her nose use to be so cute, not so much now.
Actually the above photo is one of a rare photo where Tavia looks good, not too dated, or try hard.
Agree. She looks pretty, young and feminine in the above photo.
When PS turns out bad, especially on celebrities, the media should hunt down the surgeons and “shoot” them and hold them more accountable. After all, they’re making a fortune off celebrities.
Too late for regrets! Hope Tavia will just value what she has rather than aim for more, in terms of looks. She was sweet and pretty but recently, quite disturbing to see her out-of-proportion nose…I also believe she did it for ‘Feng shui’ reasons…
She also needs to realise that after plastic surgery, one looks weird when one gets older…
if people learn to accept the fact that love is acceptable with all different kinds of age gaps and not talking dumb stuff nonstop then she doesnot have to worry.
Yeah, i actually find Tavia & Him rather sweet together. In this latest interview, Him was all smiles when he talked abt Tavia. You can see his face lighted up. They don’t seem to deny their relationship anymore. Love is really between two people & we shd accept them as they are. I wish them well. They hv kept themselvez out of the media’s attention, which was very wise considering Bosco’s case. Othwise,they would hv been dogged endlessly, without giving their relationship a chance to blossom. They wld really hv true love if they stick with each other amidst all the gloom & doom forecasts. Couples who brave the odds & stay together shd be applauded for going against the common viewpoints. HimYi i support you both to find yr own paths & happiness which only both of you would know & treasure.
That’s so true. At the end of the day, as long as they are happy and in love, then it’s no one else business. 年齡不是問題. I feel sorry for Bosco. Actually HK media is bad, overly sensationalised. In Mainland china they are more supportive with artists who have announced their relationships.
Slightly off topic – but I am watching On Call 36 part 2 now and does anyone know if it was ever explained in the show why Eliza Sam and her father have different surnames? Thanks.
Stepfather?
Nope he was her father. There was a scene where an old friend of the father asked Eliza if she was “Dr Lam”‘s daughter and she said yes. Am confused and curious.
jayne,i notice that you keep continuing publicize article’s about tavia’s appearance, i think we already have enough discusions about that in the past.i dont know what she did to you but it seems you and funn have something against tavia. as a fan no mather what she did,she will always has the most beautiful nose of the world.
The article are as translated by sources so it is media who keeps talking about it. And please do not single me out; I am not the only one nor the biggest advocate of anti-tavia’s nose. And you may think she has the most beautiful nose in the world, there are others who feel her original one was better. And even if many are talking about her nose, please read carefully; her talent is undeniable. We are in fact moaning of the fact that she was better before, she need not do this to herself, she should stop now because she is talented and to some beautiful as she is without anymore upgrades which some sees as downgrade.
I have nothing against her, it is you who think we have something against her. Read the contents and decide again is what we are saying so negative? The worse we have said of her is her nose. For Tavia that isn’t so bad.
Actually, you could very well say it’s none of my business, but the article is translated . It’s pretty accurate as I saw the interview Him gave.
To be fair to Funn, she had said some nice things about Tavia, like when she lend money to Roger Kwok in that prank TV show.
Tavia is a good actress and a great person no doubt, but as an artist in HK they will keep bringing up stories like this. So unfortunately you will have to grin and bear it. If Jayne stop translating article for certain artist because fans are upset, then we might not have any news on this website.
im not a saint i also have my time to criticize ppl. i know that not everyone has the same taste but pointing on someone’s flaw everytime when there is an article about that person is very annoying.
Let’s look at the bright said. That is the only thing the media can point to and since it is a fact it is pretty harmless.
Kolo, indeed it can be annoying if you’re a fan, just skip over it and don’t read it….
All men need is a good clean shave to look years younger.
I have learned that a crying lady looks pretty that means she ready pretty. She still look pretty when she is crying I drama.
This I agree-she’s one of the few that can cry beautifully and with a lot of expression in her eyes imo, rather than jst outbursting in every emotional scene with just a scrunched up face with little to no tears lol.
Agree agree. Check this out, love Tavia’s open mindedness & humour in facing this news at latest SIAC promo yesterday when she was asked abt this matter
http://video.sina.com.cn/v/b/128911169-1776186103.html
And this interview too
http://video.sina.com.cn/v/b/128910768-1792465623.html
Photos at the promo event. Tavia’s all cheerful & happy.
http://weibo.cn/mblog/picAll/ABTLp7tH2?rl=0&st=0ce0
You know I have never seen her not happy and smiling at events. Doesn’t mean she has an opinion about anything though but at least she projects good vibe and image to the viewers.
Yes, she’s got a great attitude and always appeared cheerful even joked around some of the bad press she gets.
Almost every actress/actors go under the knife especiall the actress. I dont know who is having the true beauty anymore. Some of them opt for the same plastic surgery that makes them looks almost the same. Hmm…
i personally like Tavia’s lip. Her lip looks pretty Specially in the crying scenes.
Her nose is distracting me sometimes. Specially 60/40 angle. In the drama SITC, she is really skinny, and her face looks slimmer than hers in previous drama. That makes her nose tip look even bigger.
I think she should gain weight back.
She say is becos of makeup, she is lying with her eye open, if makeup can really make yr nose so sharp n lip so thick then why still have woman going for plastic surgery n her face look so fake, compare to her past look n photo she dun look like her anymore.
But she did not botox herself because she can still show emotion in Storm In A Cocoon. Lovely performance from Tavia. Steven always bring out the best in her.
I agree @Funn Lim
r u say that her other partner can not bring her out?
The BOTCH nose job is more popular then Tavia’s acting.
