Lovelyish

I would never get plastic surgery. I think you’re made to look how you do, and change how you’re going to change – naturally. Everyone has things they don’t like about themselves. I think it’s ridiculous to spend tons of money on surgery to change what God gave you, basically. I guess it all depends on what’s most important to someone though. *shrugs*

i wouldnt get plastic surgery myself but everyones difference. its their own preference

i’m craving a vline, but other than that my face is fine. 

these are too pixelated to see that well. =/

but from what i can see, it looks like a lot of these girls are trying to look more caucasian. which i think is sad-asian girls are gorgeous, i think i’ve seen like 3 “average” looking asian girls in my life.

I saw this movie, it was pretty good.

I don’t think plastic surgery is the answer, maybe therapy.

omg i didn’t know lee dahae got plastic surgery!! i thought she was natural

i wouldnt get plastic surgery but then they are the one that are famous and people pick on their looks, and they have money so it does make sense. i’m not against it but not for it either

this movie was funny and sad and good haha, but no plastic surgery is not something i would do.

i like that movie! : X

personally, i feel more and more like i want plastic surgery. my family has gigantic hideous witch noses that just get more knobbly with age, and i just don’t think i can stand looking like a witch when i get older T_T

I would definitely get plastic surgery and I would definitely go to Korea to do it.

I want my nose to fit my face. It seems a bit big and shaped more like my dad’s – not a good thing. Plus I have a deviated septum anyway, and I’d like to get that fixed and stop having sinus problems all the time. :/

I think it’s crazy how commonplace plastic surgery is nowadays.  I feel like it’s a quick fix, and I’m so worried about what would happen if it didn’t turn out as expected.  I think we are all self-conscious about something, but the more apt we are the change it, the more we lose our individuality.  What would happen if we all conformed and started to look alike?  I can’t even tell some of these Korean pop stars apart.

I think we should embrace the butt chins, noses that are too big, and lips that are too small.  At the end of the day, most of us are only average looking anyway.  And no matter what you do on the outside, it won’t make a difference if there’s no change on the inside.

it is pretty sad we live in a place where we want to ‘look prettier.’ but i guess if it makes the person feel better and happier for themselves, i dont mind. as long as its not hurting anybody else i guess.

If the surgery makes them feel better about themselves and their appearance, I say go for it. I don’t think surgery is the answer, but if it is for self esteem I am all for it. My personal philosophy is you need to love yourself, flaws and all.

200 Pounds Beauty is one of my favorite movies. I may go watch it again now…

never.

WOO HOO! They look white now!

Surgery’s SCARY!  Plus, you never know how you’ll turn out.  Could come out horribly wrong like some train wrecks…

I really like the way I look.    It would freak me out if I end up looking like someone else.

I’m not anti-plastic surgery but I AM against it if you’re getting it for the wrong reasons. It wont be a quick fix & it wont make people like you better. I hate when some girls dont see plastic surgery is like regular surgery. There will be medicine involved & a ton of healing time. It’s not go to sleep & wake up beautiful. I DO think there should be a psych evaluation before hand to make sure people fully understand what they’re getting into. People with BDD I think are ignored because they pay for the surgery & no one notices until it’s too late.

If i were Korean, I’d totally do it. The physical difference between ugly and beautiful is so small here. The girls who are “ugly” only look slightly different than the ones who are “pretty.”

One of my guy friends went to have surgery before he applied for a job. It didn’t matter that he went to a top Korean uni or spoke perfect English even though English wasn’t his major. It’s all about looks in Korea.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Many Koreans naturally do look semi-White/Caucasian!

Most Korean, and other Asian girls (in fact most girls in general) look great as is!

However, some do have plastic surgery, and when it’s done right it looks fantastic!

This isn’t even about the message behind this post, but 200 Pounds of Beauty was a great kdrama :>

 ): they make me think of SNSD and their surgery rumors.

@soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga - agreed with the pixelation.&& wait…how are they trying to look more “caucasian”? 

most of these pictures seem like their chaning their eyelids
there are other races with double eye lids and such.
&& they look more like their trying to fit the “standard” beauty more.

one of my friends got plastic surgery. She’s korean so yeh, it was standard procedure. Eyes and nose. She came back looking gorgeous. I love her, but yeh, I agree… it’s too extreme  

Heard some korean parents would actually expect their daughters to get plastic surgeries when they turn 18…

dont know if it’s true… but it’s still crazy..

I don’t think these girls are trying to look caucasian. Personally if I had the money, I would probably go for surgery (nose). Sure, personality is important, but… in reality who gets made fun of? The people who are deemed unattractive. Truth is, being made fun of your looks (by random strangers at lunch, in the mall..) isn’t fun. So if a nose job, and certain other procedures are made to feel good about ones self, then why not?

after the plastic surgery, some of them look so fake ): then eventually, they all look the same to me..

one of my friends got the double eye-lids. it wasn’t a dramatic change, but it was still visibly different, since i’ve known her for so long. apparently her mom wanted her to get it o_o
i’d permanently remove the dark circles under my eyes (is this even plastic surgery?) and maybe fix up
my nose ahaha but that’s just me. i’d probably never actually go for it though. dont have the nerve haha.

it sucks that looks is everything now. people are always so pressured to be skinny and pretty. gaahh D:

I would never ever get plastic surgery. I’m happy with what I got. =] 

I want to get the bump outta my nose D:

I’m satisfied with my looks. I already have double eyelids and my nose bridge is pretty decent too so. meh. it’s not just with korea though…@__@

OMG!!!

i would get plastic surgery- but i would definitely go through a respected source (which doesn’t rule out korea, but since i don’t speak korean, that’d be kind of…)

i know girls who save up for plastic surgery because they’re unhappy with how they look. the eyelid surgery is so common and it’s so sad because it’s like. you’re already pretty why do you want double eyelids? it’s not even important! sooo many new kpop scenes pressure the girls to have surgery so they can look ‘up to par.’ even rain wouldn’t get signed (or so i heard) until he got the double eyelid procedure (he refused to do so ). it’s terrible. :[

it’s like porn stars in general and how they need to get boob jobs O_O
and a lot of american celebs get plastic surgery too. botox, boob jobs..
it’s scary.

anyway for double eyelids, i wear eyelid tape which is 1) cheap 2) safe and 3) easy. i just use some thin strip of type i’ve gotten from my local japanese market and stick it on and it gives me double eyelids. -__-;; you dont need surgery for that.

buuuut, then again there ARE k-celebs out there who are natural BUT everyone thinks they got surgery when really it’s just makeup/hair/age. D:

the 200 pound beauty movie was sad though

no one is trying to look white. i can’t believe that topic is still not cleared. big eyes are standards of beauty. it does NOT mean anyone is trying to look white. 

i don’t think plastic surgery should be done casually unless the person is really uncomfortable with themselves. it’s really a self preference. no one should have the right to criticize another for it unless it’s something ridiculous like a girl getting double FFs for no apparent reason. 

I can’t see anything with these low-res photos…

if it makes someone feel better about themselves, minor plastic surgeries don’t hurt.  i would like to get the double eyelid surgery done on my right eye since it’s single and my left eye is double.

@Lo0ki3iTzLiLxHui@xanga - i totally agree with you!! i’m so sick and tired of people saying how asian girls are trying to look white.  it’s just how we view beauty.

they do look very pretty after the surgeries, but what about when they get older? 

i’ve seen that movie for many times cuz one of the channels keep replaying it
over and over again…

i dont like watching korea’s films or soap operas

but this film is quite good i have to admit

i just hate people who had plastic surgery

like when you look into the mirror you are not looking at yourself
(i dont even really like putting on cosmetics, thought i’m just 13, i bet i wont do any make up even when i’m like 18, i hate those things covering up my face)

This is horrible.

that movie is funny, lol but yeah its crazy how people are willing to do that. don’t they feel “fake?”

It’s kinda crazy to see expectations of this, but you know what? it’s the 21st century, and i’m not really surprised. most natural beauties are hard to come by to make dreams come true.

the right hairstyle shapes the face and make up application makes a big difference even without surgery. I’m not against plastic surgery as long as it is minimal and still looks natural.

Yes, it’s become a casual thing and a lot of people are becoming desensitized. I am struggling between considering it and denouncing it.

wow…big difference!  

hahaha. plastic surgery FTW!!!!

The message may not be positive but “200 pounds of Beauty” is an awesome movie!!

I love that movie!

All that crap about wanting to look Caucasian makes me sick.

I thought we were done discussing that bullshit on Lovelyish a long time ago.Give it a rest. While that may be the motive of a very small population of people, it sure as f*ck isn’t a generalization that should be applied to every single situation that involves an asian girl getting plastic surgery.

I am for plastic surgey– conditionally.  I’m all for plastic surgery that improves one’s health, like fixing something that is wrong medically.  Cosmetic surgery, however, I do not believe in.  I don’t look down on people who do get it for cosmetic purposes, but I personally do not plan on ever going under the knife unless it’s necessary.

Plastic surgery is a sin. Worst way to waste money, except for health or accident-cause. Better send me the money I can use it to help those poor people… at least. 

I have a Korean friend and she told me about how her mom would say “Just go get that eye surgery already, I’ll pay for it!”. She had really small eyes but she was happy with the way she looked and I thought it suited her too.

I think the only surgery I would consider for myself is boob reduction. They’re not huge really, but when I think of all the shirts I’ve had to pass on because they ruin the fit of being too big for S and the hell of trying to find bikinis that fit, it sucks. Plus I do have back and neck pains and during that time a month they hurt so bad…

If I could shrink my feet a size or two that would be good too. XD I’m a 9.. ^^;

@princessremy@xanga - the eyelids. they look much more caucasian than asian.

I love this film…..should we change our face or anything?

Just needed to say that 200 pounds beauty is a great movie XD
It made me cry >.>

I am already properly proportioned, and messing with my face won’t make me any more appealing. It’s stupid.

i liked the movie.. granted, it sucks to see that guys really do respond differently to drop-dead gorgeous beauties…

The pictures look kinda blurry :/.

And I loveee that movie. The ending made me cry :c .

I would get a nose-job because I think it’s too big for my face. lol.. I mean if people want to look prettier, why not? Sure you can argue that you should be happy with what you’re given and people should be “natural” but it’s minor fixes, I don’t see the harm. It’s when you completely transform your face… haha that’s another story.

your pics are blur. i’m no for plastic surgery.

“platic surgery” scares me when i hear it

@soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga - caucasians aren’t the only ones with eyelids like that. 

Personally, I would get plastic surgery. But, unlike these Asians, I wouldn’t get it to look more Caucasian, I’d get it to look more Asian. Lol. =3

@xkthily@xanga - Haha, I second that.

Uh… you know you should do some research before you post pictures.
Some of the girls you posted did not do surgery and are natural.
Sigh.

dont get me wrong.. all koreans out there….

but its so sad to know that a nation is going through a trend like this. Plastic surgery is so common.. some even have surgery on their ankles so they can wear some shoe?

and wen it comes to finding a match.. they look gud.. but all they’re doing is making a second generation of ugly babies (don argue.. u get wat i mean) and then those kids feel ugly and different from their parents and then get surgery too =.= somewhat unhealthy?

Growing up there was always something I wanted to change about myself, but I don’t think I ever thought of plastic surgery as an option. I figured I’d either grow into what I didn’t like, or I’d find a natural way to change it.

Obviously, if I hated my nose there would be no natural way to change the structure of it, but I had an issue more with my eyes than my nose. Either way, I’ve grown to like my eyes the way they are.

I guess I just never had anything about myself that I was just so insecure about and so insistent that it was necessary to change by any means necessary, though.

I really think plastic surgery should be saved for people with severe birth deformities, those who have been disfigured by some illness or life-saving surgery, or who have been disfigured in some kind of accident like a car, plane or boating accident.

But, at the same time I don’t look down on or lose respect for people who don’t need surgery but get it anyway to fix a personally perceived problem, like disliking their nose or their ears or eyes.

I kind of feel bad for them, instead, that they felt so insecure about themselves that they felt the only recourse to look “normal” and to be accepted in society was to have surgery to alter their physical appearance. :/

@princessremy@xanga - well it would be impossible for an asian person to look black…

This is a really cheap-shot post that Lovelyish knew would get a lot of attention. It’s tacky that Jacbeauty would just target one ethnic group to highlight plastic surgery, when Japan, Taiwan and the US also have a substantially growing rate of cosmetic surgery among their population. Jacbeauty, you just probably lost your Korean base, which sucks since your oriented around asian beauty.

And what is this theory that they’re trying to look “white.”? Are caucasians the only ones with double eye-lids? Did they invent that shit? No, because viertually every ethnically African and Latin person has double eyelids as well. Get over yourselves. I don’t assume that every caucasian who thins down his or her nose is trying to look asian.

And I’d like to debunk that myth someone stupidly might believe that all Korean girls are expected or encouraged to get surgery when they turn 18. I can’t believe the level of stupidity and igorance here. All cultures have their standards and interpretations of beauty, some of which we may not agree with, but that doesn’t excuse for making broad generalizations.

Jacbeauty, if you’re going to make such a bold post, I suggest you use higher resolution pics at least.

I have never hidden my feelings toward plastic surgery. I’m all for it. Especially if I had the money, you bet I’d be getting liposuction and a nose job. I don’t think it’s such an awful thing to want plastic surgery. If it makes me feel more confident about myself, I should be allowed to do it. I’m not harming anyone else, it’s my decision and my body.

@soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga - not really, it’s possible…… i would comment on it but i don’t want to say anything that would offend people. 

@S_K_O_T@xanga - I just love how you kicked that comment xD

@Abrilsuka@xanga - Thanks!

@m0leymol3y@xanga - …and plastic surgery sounds even scarier!

The only plastic surgery I would ever consider would be breast augmentation. I’ve grown to love my own face & the rest of my body besides the twins, so they are the only thing I’d eve consider changing. But I’m not going out of my way to worry about it. If I ever win the lottery or something, it’s just on my to-do list. Towards the bottom.

I think those girls looked cute enough before their surgeries, but if they weren’t happy with the way they looked, I don’t think it was “wrong” of them or anything. I hope they’re happy with the way they look now.

I’d probably get plastic surgery, but I’m kind of poor right now, and I don’t think it’ll help with my total lack of personality. Oh well.

I hate to say this, but not all of them are trying to look more caucasian… the last picture the girl actually looks more elfin and traditionally Chinese than her before picture… maybe it’s because of the delicate bone structure done on her cheekbones and jaw…

I lived in Seoul, Korea for the majority of my life and plastic surgery is the common thing to do, esp. in the entertainment industry.  I have several friends who have had the double eyelid surgery.

*shrug*  To each his or her own.

I plan on getting a breast reduction sometime in the future.  As for beauty within, one should have that before they get their surgery in my opinion…

@S_K_O_T@xanga -  omg! i didnt even notice my typo! HAHA! that was a good laugh =) thanks. haha. but yeah, it sounds major scary. when i think of plastic, i think BARBIE. and then i think MEAN GIRLS. =)

Crazy. I’m satisfied with my face. Hah.

@m0leymol3y@xanga - You’re very welcome! And it does sound scarily invasive and inhuman…’plastic’ surgery.

Having said that though, I also have to say that there’s a few models and actresses that I like who’ve gone under the knife, who’ve been somewhat plasticised, and Barbie-fied!

Just as long as they don’t actually become Mean Girls!

Korean singer/actor UEE of After School said she had double- eyelid surgery. Also, one of my favorite Korean celebs, Bom, from 2NE1 supposedly also had that surgery too. 

I love eyes the way God made them on everyone, but especially beautiful Asian eyes, so I have a hard time understanding people getting the surgery.  It also makes sense though, because you see some rich women in the united states get surgeries to remove toe joints so they can fit into manolo stillettos. Some people feel compelled to do whatever they must to achieve what they perceive as beautiful. 

I also think part of this has to do with our over-arching world society and the eurocentricism that has warped what is perceived as beauty.

O_O wow. I’d always heard that plastic surgery was big in that part of the world, but I guess this is a whole new eye-opener. I’m too scared to get PS, so I guess I’ll stick with my natural looks.
