From the chosun ilbo:
| Quote: |
| 81.5 percent of women between 25 and 29 felt the need for cosmetic surgery and 61.5 percent of that group said they have already had it, suggesting that cosmetic surgery has become commonplace for 20-something Korean women. |

| Given that the eyelid surgery is considered cosmetic surgery- I'm surprised the numbers aren't higher. |

It's just an observation. Sheesh.
My girlfriend's friends had eyelid surgery and one is a racing girl that had 10's of thousands of work done on her face. You can definitely tell too and that is not a good thing. It is a shame to think how she will look when she is 45. Her face already looks like a plastic mask.
Anyway they told me that almost ALL Korean girls in major cities get some kind of plastic surgery before they get married. This is just a common thing It starts with the eyelid surgery which you can easily spot. It looks like someone just took an exacto blade and made a thin slice. From then it is the cheekbone/jawbone saw off and nose enlargement. My gf's friend even had her forehead done!
I told them plastic surgery is just as if not more common in the west but it is for age prevention as aging people generally are the main market. Vancouver is choc full of late 30's 40+ year old women with the botox lips and face lifts. Hollywood is even worse. You just can't fight nature. A women can still look damn hot in her 40's as long as she takes care of herself. |

I don't care what most people do with/to their bodies, but I definitely prefer dating women that haven't had any cosmetic surgery. That is just my personal preference. Therefore, I am interested in this statistic. Does that mean I can't mind my own business? I don't think anybody in this thread was attacking women who have had surgery done. Your response seems overly critical to me. |

Why? Do you also prefer women who don't wear makeup, shave their legs, or work out at the gym?
If you do, that's fine.
Me, personally, I don't like the idea of having plastic surgery. So I don't. If someone I was dating did, however, that would have very little (in my mind) to do with me, personally. |

| ^ But it would tell you something important about that person. If my boyfriend would want plastic surgery I would be shocked and very disappointed. Luckily he's not that type of person at all. |

What would it tell you that him shopping for becoming clothing and spending half an hour fixing his hair wouldn't? |

^ Actually, he doesn't do those things either... He couldn't care less about how he looks, and I love him for that.
Even so, there's a difference between buying nice clothes and fixing your hair and going under the knife. If somebody is desperate enough to have surgery to alter the way his/her body looks, that tells me he/she is too concerned about superficial things (provided it's purely for cosmetic reasons of course). I wouldn't want to be with somebody who felt their life just wouldn't be worth living without that crease in their eyes 
How trivial some things are... |

A couple years ago, I had heard it quoted at 85% having had surgery (with a lot of those being eyelid surgery or something very minor) |

50-60,-70%?????
It all depends on who they survey and where they survey them, they could stand outside a cosmetic surgery and interview people and then the results would be much higher |

The old timer's know about bloody Valentine..... cosmetic surgery is a not unheard of gift for Valentine's day.....
There is also a saying I was told by several Koreans..... A Korean man never knows what his wife truly looks like until their first child is born.....
Sad, but let's face it. If it makes the girl looks better, that's the most important thing, right? Looks are everything today. Look at the posters on this board. They never talk about the great personalities of Korean girls, they talk about how skinny they are and they have great legs. The guys don't care that they were malnourished as children and are anorexic now. I knew lots of skinny asian girls in high school. I'm talking about great friends with the whole sleep over deals and everything. Most of them were anorexic and when they went out with friends to eat, they threw up as soon as they got home. Sexy...... |
