Asians getting plastic surgery to look more like Westerners. I think Westerners get plastic surgery to look more like Westerners, too.
Yeah lots of Korean models have had major plastic surgery, and even facial bone resturing surgery. It's crazy.
This just seems very very wrong to me...
Dr. Suh In Seock, a surgeon in Seoul, has struggled to find the best way to fix an affliction the Koreans call muu-dari and the Japanese call daikon-ashi: radish-shaped calves. Liposuction, so effective on the legs of plump Westerners, doesn't work on Asians since muscle, not fat, accounts for the bulk. Suh says earlier attempts to carve the muscle were painful and made walking difficult. "Finally, I discovered that by severing a nerve behind the knee, the muscle would atrophy," says Suh, "thereby reducing its size up to 40%." Suh has performed over 600 of the operations since 1996. He disappears for a minute and returns with a bottle of fluid containing what looks like chopped up bits of ramen noodles. He has preserved his patients' excised nerves in alcohol. "And that's just since November," he says proudly.

that's just plain disgusting. but that's how the west will take over the world. in order to look more like them, everyone will cause their muscles to atrophy so that they are easy to conquer!

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Hehe in Taiwan what they say about girls with "radish-legs" is that a rabbit is chasing them.

Haha get it? Their legs are like radishes so rabbits chase them to eat their legs! Haha so funny.
