Statistics showing just which nations engage in the most cosmetic surgery demonstrate the rather impressive lead the likes of South Korea, Brazil and the US have over everyone else – something admittedly evident from looking at the less than natural wonders each of these nations is so blessed with.
The chart is adjusted for the relative population of each country, and based on UN and International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery data as assembled by The Economist, explaining why the USA’s clear lead in absolute numbers (3.3 million procedures in 2010) is overshadowed by the impressive per capita surgery rates some of the more vain nations enjoy.
Unsurprisingly, South Korea comes out on top, although even this may not reflect the full extent of Korea’s love of plastic surgery – survey data found as many as a fifth of the women in Seoul have been under the knife.
The popularity of different operations in each nation also varies dramatically; Brazil sees seven times more buttock enhancements than the average, and five times more vaginal alterations, whilst Greece sees ten times more penis enlargements – perhaps the better to further shaft German taxpayers, it might be thought.
Brazil? Butt surgery? Mind shattered >_>.
No wonder the Korean idols look like each other.
Asians(Korea, Japan, China) tend to be obsessed with having double eyelids. It makes their eyes appear bigger or more defined, and less “squinty”, but I think that there are some who look better with the natural Asian lids.
It’s extremely rare to see female idols without it, though. It’s kind of sad when you think of how even kids get it, like young idols before they audition.
Mine’s naturally uneven, with one eye having a halfway double lid, and another eye being less double lidded, but I think it looks fine as it is.
I wouldn’t pay to get it changed.
It is interesting when you compare Asian Americans to mainland Asians, and their beauty standards are much different based on what they grew up watching or listening to.
If it were urban China only, then China would be in the top. XD But China has so much rural and country areas, that it makes up for that.
My country Sweden is not on the list. Despite that, i often see well-endowed ladies and even young girls when i go out.
Strange, i thought countries like USA should not be in this list. Everything in America is said to be the biggest by the nature…
