Recently, I was introduced to the blog of this girl.. She should be in her twenties and has undergone major plastic surgeries last year to enhance her looks. To start with, she isn't ugly or what but just wanted to be prettier... and she has a series of surgeries - to widen her eyes, tapered her ears, sharpen her nose, reshape her face and correct her chin.. plus bust enhancement and liposuction done. And she wasn't afraid to share her experiences on plastic surgery, even included her before and after photos.. something which I truly admire her for.
Although I think that there is nothing wrong with going under the knife, plastic surgery remains a taboo in Asia. Many (actress/ models/ singers) still deny having any work done when it is super obvious. Certain parts of the face and body do slowly change with time but nose bridge sure doesn't grow higher overnight.. Period.
It is in human nature to want to be pretty.. to crave for things that are pretty. So there is nothing wrong for the ugly to want to be good-looking, and the beautiful to want to be perfect. But I have seen so many of these man-made beauties claiming their good looks to be natural. Yucks loh! Like a certain local Chinese blogger pretending her delicate Eurasian features are being passed down from her obviously Chinese-looking parents. And if you compare her pictures taken during her school days, she couldn't look more different... small eyes, button nose and slightly squarish face changed overnight.. literally.
Much as I am fascinated with how plastic surgery could correct/ enhance our appearances, I doubt I would ever have the guts to go under the knife. I have had braces on to correct my vampire-ish teeth and laser treatments to lighten my freckles in the past. I guessed these non-invasive procedures are the furthest that I will go.
It sure does take huge courage and real dedication to go through the pain.. and the uncertainty of how you would actually turn out to be... So kudos to those who dare to try plastic surgery and be open about it!
*On a side note, what is it with our local comedians and the needs to cross-dress?! Jack Neo started the whole Liang po-po and Liang Si-Mei thingy.. and there is Zhou Chong Qing as Auntie Lucy.. and now we have Hossan Leong also dressing as a woman in the ads of "We are Singaporeans" game show. Mark Lee also played the character of a ah-gua (transsexual) in his latest movie. I wonder if it is really entertaining (for the audiences) to see a man playing a woman.. or it is because our local comedians could only go this far. I cannot and don't know how to appreciate it.
