Shauna Rae addresses her 'abnormally large' eyes

A fan asked Shaun on TikTok, "Have you discussed why your eyes seem abnormally large. Does it have something to do with your condition?" Shauna made a video replying to this question. The star said, "A discussion about my eyes being normally large has never come up." She then explained, "They didn't ever grow as a kid if you're being serious like did they grow like no." The star then showed a picture of hers as a kid. In her childhood picture also we can see Shauna with large eyes. She said, "This is a picture of me as a baby, um, obviously really big eyes, even still has the bags." She then compared her childhood pictures to that of her current face. Shauna says, "So the big eyes, the bags, they've kind of always been there." 



 

Shauna Rae believes 'genetic' could be the reason for her 'abnormally large' eyes

However, Shauna believes that her big eyes could also be because of the "effects of cancer and chemotherapy." She thinks that maybe her eyes are a little too sunken into her head and that's the reason why it looks so large. She added, "I honestly think my enlarged eyes are due to genetics." She then explained that some people have genetically larger lips, broad foreheads, large hair lines, and many such similar facial differences. She then adds, "I think it's genetics, umm, but I think that it's always been the same, they've never grown." The star further explained that her large eyes have "never been an issue" medically.

Shauna claims to always have "big bright eyes." She then clapped back at the question asked saying, "So thankyou for the compliment but medically I'm fine." Shauna captioned her post, "Another Q&A from Tiktok. This one I wasn’t expecting and honestly it could be a residual effect from cancer and chemo, it’s probably just genetics though."
