Extreme Plastic Surgery: South Korean plastic surgeries are often so extreme, people need new IDs.
I normally try to be incredibly insensitive when it comes to matters of culture and race, mostly because I am a mish-mosh of so many of them that I figure eventually it isn’t going to matter #meltingpot.
I’m not sure if there is a proper way to say this, so I am just going to say it. In the past, many of my Asian friends struggled a lot with their self-esteem, because of a deeply ingrained family need to be a success, and to be better than their parents. Luckily I am from a very Americanized Asian family, so my mom just concerned herself with keeping me alive, but the inherent need to be a success, to be beautiful, or to attract a mate seems like a prolific theme in many Asian cultures.

I know part of this can be attributed to coming from first generation immigrant families, but I keep reading about how plastic surgery overseas is done to completely re-create someone’s face, purely for cosmetic reasons.
The South Korean people in these photos look completely different in the after photo, so much so that some of them needed to get new identification.
I am not going to lie and say that I don’t think most of them look great after a little nip/tuck, but I’m pretty sure there is nothing healthy about changing your entire face completely, or extreme plastic surgery in general.
I have never been to South Korea, so I don’t know if augmenting your face in this way is more socially accepted, but I feel like if you have so much extreme plastic surgery that you need a new ID, you are actually trying to change your identity, and the money it costs would be better spent on some serious therapy.
For the PARENTS of these people.
