The dramatic results of plastic surgery are often discussed here and I must admit I have often queried some of the claims, but hit the jump to see the before pic.
Nik2 alerted us to an article about the difficulty some Chinese ladies are having returning home after going on surgery based holidays to Korea, and the results are pretty extreme. The differences are highlighted by makeup, but I can see why customs has some difficulty accepting that it is the same person, especially in these times of regular security scares. Check out the article here for more examples and an insight into the common procedures. Thanks Nik2

I prefer the before photo. I happen to love cute little Asian noses…

i shouldn’t have looked at the pictures there…

If the surgery has helped people to be more comfortable with themselves it is worthwhile.

It’s too common. I know several girls who had had their eyes enlarged and attempted to add a “bridge” to their nose. Obvious chest enhancement is pretty common now as well. I like natural beauties. I am not offended when they enlarge their eyes or try to add a bridge to the nose so they can at least wear sunglasses. Really, that’s a problem for some girls, no depth to the nose causes their glasses to slide down or they must wear pairs that have the tight tabs so they stay in place. Local procedures for eyes and nose are really cheap and heavily promoted.
I think it’s unfortunate that the huge majority of famous models in China have had procedures done to the point where they look “less” chinese. I hope their is a backlash and sites start to feature girls who are natural. Their are so many beautiful women here, I don’t see the need to focus on girls who don’t even look chinese anymore.
And the skin tone is associated more directly with farmers. If you have darker skin, it’s assumed you come from a farming background. It’s an insult to call a darker skinned girl a “farmer” when in the city.
Strangely, when we foreigners discuss this with local girls, most wonder why we are offended. They think it’s great if they look good and cannot understand why some foreigners don’t find them attractive.
Just the other night a girl walked by our bar table who obviously had had extensive surgery. Guys dismissed her as a fake and the girls all thought she looked great.
I have meet very few chinese men who care if they are natural or not, very few. -
Bubba,
Many of those procedures are performed in Korea or Japan. If they have the money, those are the preferred doctors. But I agree, it’s difficult for me to differentiate between some of them who have extensive reconstruction. The key points all look the same not to mention every photographer seems to want the same facial expressions.
