i just watched a very interesting video on plastic surgery...
national.geographic.taboo.beauty.hdtv.xvid-diverge from Docu Lector on Vimeo.
This topic has been pretty interesting recently not just because of the K pop wave, but because i recently realised that tons of Singaporean celebrities have done plastic surgery! Be it mediacorp artistes (did you notice that lee na xing's has botox?) (felicia chin had double eyelid surgery) or bloggers (xiaxue had 2 nose jobs, even miyake wong and yutaki had nose/chin/cheek fillers, botox to relax the jaw line) Even my older friends have gone for cosmetic procedures (freckle lightening) and my step mum has mentioned before to me that she wants to do it!
If you visit this website on tumblr, there's tons of before and after shots of koreans getting plastic surgery: http://kpsurgery.tumblr.com/
After looking at so many pictures, im suddenly very alert to whether ppl have had plastic surgery or not! There's just this look about them which sets them apart. Last time i was only aware of the botox-ed faces, but now, I can tell if they have had rinoplastery, jaw realignment surgery, nose job, fat grafts(all girls after fat grafts have chubby cheeks and forehead like dawn yang basically) If you're still not confident, an interesting way to challenge people who have had rinoplastery is to ask them to make a 'pig' face (where you push the tip of your nose up such that your nostrils show). They really cant do it coz of the hard implant! The bridge will also feel hard, like your knucle!
i ended up here from another singaporean blogger, eric lim who has had plastic surgery to get double eyelids. (That's the one surgery i cant tell if ppl have had but Dina said sth about how when they close their eyes the line is still there) He wanted a fat graft on his cheeks but the doctor told him that he didnt have enough fats to make nice cheeks. .. He even uploaded pictures of the before and after and with all the scaring and stiches and all. I have deep respect for his frankness and honesty! to me he is as interesting as a female version of xiaxue! http://therealericlim.blogspot.sg/2012/05/my-first-plastic-surgery-trip.html
anyway less about these bloggers and plastic people, and more about the video!
I found the video v scary!! It's by national geographic called "taboo bodies"
There was this lady who had chest implants and went from a "C" to a "G" and had an infection! (none of the american doctors wanted to give her such a size so she had to go to an unorthadox doctor in brazil) When the american doctor saw her, he cut a 3mm incision in her breasts to drain out the pus. One week later, the 3mm incision had grown to a 3cm diameter hole!!!!!!! I WAS SO FREAKED OUT!!! seriously!! you can see the implants through the hole!!! omg!!! I kept wondering how she wore her bras with that huge hole in her chest. wasnt it painful??? The doctor had to remove the implants to save her life. And when he removed them, there were two implants inside! it was the size of a basketball~!!
There was also a bit on this lady with aneroxia. She really looked like the walking dead. sunken cheeks, hollow eyes and all. although its really sad that she passed away, what she said will always stay with me.
"It doesn't matter what your body size is. as long as your are healthy, you are beautiful"
That really rang true for me. Perspectives should change! Health comes first! its not whether there's tons of calories in it, its more of whether it's good for me. She was a 27 year old, but her body looked like that of my 88+ year old grandma. She walked and talked just as slow too!
People who only eat 1 slice of bread should really rethink! its not about the calories! its more of "are you getting the right amount of vitamins and nutrients that you need?"
Now im wondering how does crash diets and the binge eating at buffets and cny n all tie into this mess that everyone seems to be in..
coz now the easiest topic to strike up with another girl is this "omg u r so slim! how do you maintain it?" Usually their answer is this "dont eat, gym much"
i should go around asking people "omg you dont fall sick at all! how do you maintain your health?"
but this isnt apparent until we are old and grey. and all of the health complications come up. Nvm i will ask all the fit healthy old people this! so far the fit and healthy old people i have met are on my "hikes" and they are EPIC!! how did they maintain their health? Seems like healthy eating and tons of walking. and they are like 60+ but they still can take part in standard charted 40km marathon! nyah~
