Amanda Bynes Says Bleph Surgery Was ‘One of the Best Things’ She's Done for Her Confidence

"It was one of the greatest things I could’ve ever done,” Bynes said

Amanda Bynes is feeling good about her new look!

The former child star, 37, shared an Instagram Story on Monday detailing why she chose to go through with a blepharoplasty — a procedure to remove excess eyelid skin.

In the video clip, Bynes explained that she was addressing recent stories she’d seen about her face appearing different.

“I was never open about this before, but I actually had blepharoplasty surgery on the skinfolds and the corner of my eyes. So, I don’t have those skinfolds anymore,” The Amanda Show alum said in a selfie clip with her results on full display.

The Hairspray actress added that the finished product has boosted her confidence.

“It was one of the best things I could’ve ever done for my self-confidence, and it made me feel a lot better in my skin, so I just wanted to post about that just to clear up that rumor as to why I have a new look,” Bynes said. “I feel a lot better now about myself, and I’m so glad I had the blepharoplasty surgery. It was one of the greatest things I could’ve ever done.”

The She’s the Man star has recently been getting back to work after a judge terminated her nearly nine-year-long conservatorship last March.

"In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritize my well-being in this next chapter,” she said via her lawyer David A. Esquibias in a statement to PEOPLE at the time.

On Saturday, Bynes launched Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast on Spotify.

In the 26-minute debut episode, the What a Girl Wants actress and her co-host spoke to Los Angeles tattoo artist Dahlia Moth. According to a synopsis of the show, the podcast will discuss “fashion, artists, actors, actresses, music and everything else!”

Earlier this year, Bynes was scheduled to reunite with her former All That costars Kel Mitchell, Danny Tamberelli and Lori Beth Denberg at '90s Con at the Connecticut Convention Center from March 17 to 19.

After starring on the Nickelodeon sketch comedy show from 1996 to 2000, she told PEOPLE exclusively that she was looking forward to being with the group and her supporters once again.

However, the actress was unable to attend at the last minute due to an undisclosed health issue.
