Beauties who ‘change their faces’ to compete in beauty contests are still crowned

In the past, beauty contests in Vietnam often prioritized beauties with natural beauty to be crowned. However, currently, many beauty competitions have opened up and gradually allow girls who have undergone cosmetic surgery to compete for the crown.

Join SAOstar to take a look at the faces who have undergone beauty enhancements and achieved high titles at beauty contests.

Runner-up Hong Hanh

Le Thi Hong Hanh is one of the most popular beauties at beauty forums with the story of “breaking her face and rebuilding it” when participating in Miss Grand Vietnam.

She was born in 2000, is from Thai Binh, is a freelance model and actress. Previously, Hong Hanh participated in a number of online sitcoms. During her artistic activities, the Thai Binh model was self-conscious about her low nose, single eyelids, and thin lips, so she decided to restore her face.

The beauty has had nose surgery, eyelid surgery, teeth correction, and filler injections to achieve her current beauty.

According to Miss Grand Vietnam’s regulations, contestants are allowed to have cosmetic surgery to compete. Thanks to that, the use of cosmetic surgery helped Hong Hanh stand out when she decided to enroll in this playground.

Miss Le Au Ngan Anh

Le Au Ngan Anh was born in 1995, from Tien Giang. She is considered one of the beauty queens with the most scandals after the coronation.

In 2017, the Miss Ocean organization encountered controversy when it selected Le Au Ngan Anh to be crowned the highest winner. The reason is because she confessed to the media that she had undergone cosmetic surgery before participating in the beauty pageant. Even though she later had her nose cartilage removed to participate in the contest, the audience still had mixed reactions. Not to mention, Department of Performing Arts also issued a document requesting to strip Ngan Anh of her crown.

At this stage, the public still does not have a glimpse of “artificial” beauty in beauty contests, leading to Ngan Anh receiving criticism for a long time. However, the beauty was still sent to Miss Intercontinental 2018 in the Philippines and achieved the title of 4th runner-up.

Returning from the international competition, Ngan Anh stayed hidden for a long time. In 2019, she just started appearing in a series of graduation photos at Salford University (UK). The beauty and knowledge of the queen were significantly improved, and her long legs gradually won the hearts of the audience.
