Have You Ever Heard of Blepharoplasty? Charlize Theron Sure Has In 2001, Charlize Theron was seen in two relatively poor, though not abominable films, Woody Allen's "Curse of the Jade Scorpion" and "Sweet November" with Keanu Reeves. Charlize Theron's had undergone blepharoplasty, a plastic surgery which reconstructs the eyelid, due to a fall she’d made by walking down some icy steps. Then after her recovery; 2002 saw Theron playing in a chilling drama ("Trapped") and in a daring comedy ("Waking Up in Reno").  If her eyelid surgery was indeed due to a tumble she had, or whether she was sprucing herself up for her next film, I guess we'll never really know.
