Heh, yeah, I guess your right, if you look at a beautiful women from a certain race, not all are like that. But it's not bad to have opiinons, right? Like saying that a certain race has the most beautiful women and that sort of thing. Sure, all races have beautiful women but you might prefer one over the other or something like that. They're just opinions after all...

As far as plastic surgery goes (or any other race issue for that matter), I'm going to have to agree with all the stuff 20centuryboy has been saying..

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).


I take back my last point. Apparently it is possible to grind away a person's jawline and make his/her face narrower. This procedure is reportedly most common among Asians.

In the link below, a Chinese actress said the doctors took off too much of her jawline, making her face too thin.

I guess those before/after photos of a celebrity's face magically narrowing aren't flukes (ie. Nakama Yukie).

And I thought she was all-natural. Sad. =( Alcoholic

Interesting, It seems that the surgeons push their clients to have more and more surgery... Smile

I hope Kuriyama Chiaki never has her nose changed. It wouldn't be her anymore. And the nose fits perfectly as it is.

Plastic surgery does happen everywhere with pretty much everyone (take Hollywood for example, or Europe where teenagers are already on the surgery trip). Those small corrections don't even really count as full scale plastic surgery anyway. If we start talking about breast implants or upping lips with silicon, etc, well, that just sucks and is quite lame anyway.

Maeda Sisters didn't have one and I don't see either of them ever having such a correction, since there's nothing to correct there.

To achieve the double-eyelid look though, people don't have to necessarily to go the surgery route. Japan does have these plastic inserts that look like eyelash curlers that you wedge (not as painful as it looks) to create the double-eyelid look.

that just sounds retarded...its great that we live in a society that what you look on the outside is more important that anything else. And besides all these woman that have had this surgery look very freakish and abnormal (like that lead chick from Only You and Exhibiton of Fireworks)

I used to think some were natural beauty. The actress' nose from Sapuri is indeed weird.

Is it possible the eyelid would get doubled or wider as ones grow older?

Not only celebrities! Here´s a source with quote : The most popular plastic surgery procedure for Japanese and Asians is the so-called "double-eyelid"surgery to make slanted eyes rounder. Blink Blink

Browsing through the current edition of the Guinnes World Records Book today, I found out that the country which has the highest number of very young plastic surgery patients is actually.... Spain. Now that surprised me - I spent quite a bit of time in Spain, and while I thought that Spanish women were on the whole very beautiful (having very good, womanly shapes) I didn't think many of them looked plastic.

I would have expected the pressure to undergo surgery at a young age would be the greatest in countries such as Venezuela.

Venezuela is said to have the most beautiful women in the world, because it's one of the leading countries to produce Miss Universe and Miss World beauty pageant winners. This is largely due to young women being encouraged to join 'beauty academies' (for I don't know the correct term in English) at a young age where they are taught to diet, apply make-up efficiently and hold Miss Universe-worthy, sappy love & peace speeches. Needless to say, the women in Venezuela, especially the young ones, are indeed stunning and very feminine. They even have better bodies (curvier, better proportions) than the also very stunning young Korean women, though I have observed Korean women to usually have nicer skin and hair. I don't suppose the pressure to look good would be any lower in Venezuela or other parts of South America (Argentina comes to mind, where there are more blondes than in Sweden - bottle blondes, of course) than it is in Japan or Korea.

But, Spain? Total surprise.

Yoon Eun Hye? I'd be quite surprised if she didn't have some surgery done on her eyes. I've seen anime characters with smaller eyes than her. Laugh

sure it happens in j-entertainment. though they're less inclined to admit it than k-celebs.
but in the end gotta note: it's the entertainment business, and looks are one of the commodities.

wow jaw line surgery? what the huh lol, that's pretty desperately crazy to me. next thing you know people will have skull reduction surgery to make their heads smaller, "my heads too large doctor... make it pretty, make it smaller". Doctor:"you do realize we'll have to remove a portion of your brain to reduce skull size don't you?" Crazy patient:"isn't it obvious that i don't use much of my brain? cut away"
