More and more Shanghainese opting for plastic surgery

plasticsurgeryshanghai.jpg More people than ever are getting plastic surgery in Shanghai, according to Channel News Asia. One beauty enhancing outlet, Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery Hospital, reported that it had seen an increase in patients by 45% year-on-year. The most frequently requested procedures include rhinoplasty, face reshaping, breast augmentation and - that favorite of Asia - double eyelid surgery. Men are also increasingly becoming surgery regulars, usually asking for “hair and mustache implants.”

    Double eyelids, bigger boobs- hmm.



    If I was trying to wind up a guy who sounds kind of racist, I'd say they weren't trying to emulate Korean women...

    Well not so long ago, it was the Kenneth Tan-ist and prior to that, it was the Dan Washburn-ist. Nothing new under the sun.
