Is it common for Japanese or Japanese celebrities to have plastic surgery? After watching many J-dramas...it doesn't look like many does surgery...am I wrong? I hear that it's very common in Korean entertainment.

I'm not too sure, but I think its quite common Mr. Green
Japanese plastic surgeries are supposed to be one of the best world wide

Take a look at Itou Misaki, Ryo or the most obvious example: Ayumi Hamasaki (I'm taking back that japanese plastic surgeries are the best Whistling )

I don't think it's as common as Korean celebs.
75% of all Koreans were born with single eyelids yet the most majority of the Korean celebs have double eyelids.

There's a j-drama called "Seikin Bijin" or "Artificial Beauty".

The drama seems to suggest that plastic surgery goes completely
against Japanese aesthetics and beauty. Many of the characters in
the shows are ikebana(flower arrangements) experts. So I get the
feeling that these ideas also exist in ikebana(especially in the scene
where they exhibited fake flowers and the stigma that it caused).

It also seemed to suggest that many relationships are ended after
it's revealed that one of the partners has undergone plastic surgery. People who do plastic surgery are fake and the Japanese concept of beauty is natural and real.

I don't know if anyone of this is really true.
But that's the impression that I got.

For a country with so many beautiful women, plastic surgery almost
seems non-existent. Health food and cosmetics are all Japanese women
seem to need.

HAHA! She looks amazing...kudos to the surgeon!! I would have never known. I could easily tell that Ayumi Hamasaki done it..and it looks freaking nasty.

You'll be shocked by how many J-idols have had plastic surgery. Just click on the following link and scroll through the pages:

Nose job alright. From a wide, bulbous nose to a thin, streamlined nose.

Hmmm... Why is it that the proportions are wrong on all the pictures? ("before" pictures: too wide, "after" pictures: too narrow)

I believe that none of us will do more than watch them on a screen, so who cares? If they choose to do so, then they choose to do so.

The proportions do seem off in a couple pictures. Not that it matters since most of the cosmetic changes seem to be in the eyelids or nose shape (plus I don't think it's possible for surgery to narrow a person's jawline).

In any case, I can understand why so many resort to plastic surgery. The entertainment industry is a competitive/selective one. They're only doing what is necessary to stay ahead. I won't judge them for it.
