There was a joke skit on korean SNL about how such surgeries cost less than a designer bag. Why people think 'but was it necessary?' is a valid argument against anything is beyond me. | ||

This graph from 2010 shows that South Kroea is #1 in the most surgeries performed it still is in 2012 (cant find graph for 2012)+ Show Spoiler + The prevalence and relative affordability of plastic surgery in South Korea is a big social problem because it enables people to pressure others into getting it. Aunts who think their niece isn't pretty enough will harrass her until she does it, etc. It happens a lot. I hope Supernova is happy with his appearance now but I also hope that the source of his unhappiness wasn't another person. | ||

I'm pretty sure people go to the dentist primarily to preserve their teeth. In a functional regard. Keeping them white or making them whiter is cosmetic but it's also not the point. | ||

This is very true, and the only really valid concern against the prevalence of plastic surgery IMO. I think it's fine if people want to do it, but if someone changes their face just because other people tell them to when they don't feel comfortable doing it, it's not fine anymore. That said, the same problem is common everywhere on a different scale... wear odd clothes? Bullied. Ugly hair? Bullied. We are a social animal and will adapt to the social norm, somehow. | ||

What a terrible thing to say :/ I never thought for second he looked "bad" but now that people can see the before/after, they're all, "Wow! He looks so much better!" implying that he was unattractive before, thus validating the train of thought that cosmetic facial surgery is totally worth with this type of backhanded compliment. | ||
