"What you see is what you get. After Julie Chen&amp;apos;s confession last week that she had undergone plastic surgery to make her &amp;quot;Asian eyes&amp;quot; look bigger, people started speculating about what else the Chinese-American&amp;#xA0;Talk co-host had gotten &amp;quot;fixed.&amp;quot; The answer, according to Chen herself: Nothing.\r\nOn Wednesday, Sept. 18, Chen took some time on The Talk to set the record straight about her appearance. &amp;quot;I have never had a nose job,&amp;quot; she began. &amp;quot;I have only had plastic surgery done to my eyes, that I&amp;apos;ve already told you about.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe continued: &amp;quot;I do not have cheek implants. I did not take out fat over here to make my cheeks look more [sculpted]. I did not have chin surgery, I did not have a nose job. These are not veneers. I have not done my teeth -- I&amp;apos;ve never even had braces. These are all my real teeth. Nothing, nothing else has been done, ever.&amp;quot;\r\nAs proof of this, Chen offered up two photos of herself: one from her days as a news anchor in Dayton, and one of herself without makeup on a recent early morning. She also showed a video of herself getting made up for the show so viewers could see the effects of contouring and lighting.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I will admit, I&amp;apos;ve thought about getting a nose job because I have a very bulbous, meaty nose. It&amp;apos;s a meaty nose,&amp;quot; she confessed. But it&amp;apos;s also, according to her grandmother, a &amp;quot;good fortune&amp;quot; nose -- which is why she decided to keep it.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m very superstitious, because a lot of Chinese people are. And my grandmother, who had the same nose, said, &amp;apos;Don&amp;apos;t you touch that nose. That&amp;apos;s what we Chinese people call a good fortune nose. You have the same nose as me,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Chen recalled. &amp;quot;And my grandmother led, God rest her soul, a very peaceful, fortuitous life. She was a good lady, everyone loved her, and I&amp;apos;d never seen her get angry. She just led a happy life. So I didn&amp;apos;t touch the nose.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe only thing she did touch, she says, is her eyes -- and that was because her station manager in Dayton told her she&amp;apos;d never be an anchor otherwise. &amp;quot;Let&amp;apos;s face it, Julie. How relatable are you to our community?&amp;quot; Chen recalled him saying. &amp;quot;How big of an Asian community do we have in Dayton?&amp;quot;\r\nThe station at the center of her revelation has since apologized. &amp;quot;We are sorry to hear about what happened to CBS&amp;apos; Julie Chen in 1995 when she was a reporter at WDTN-TV,&amp;quot; WDTN and WBDT president and general manager Joe Abouzeid said in a statement to the Dayton Daily News. &amp;quot;The station was under different management and ownership during that time. At WDTN and WBDT, we don&amp;apos;t tolerate racism or discrimination of any kind.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
