This is an article that I found on yahoo news that I thought was interesting. It's amazing how popular cosmetic surgery has gotten, and it's not just in the United States!
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Koreans traditionally used to say it with flowers or money, but now more are showing love and respect to their parents by giving mom and dad coupons for cosmetic surgery.
Local media has reported a boom in orders this year for botox treatments, face lifts and hair transplants to mark Parents' Day Monday.
Cosmetic surgery clinics in Seoul said they have been booked solid for weeks with appointments made by children for their parents.
Using surgery to ehance looks is common in South Korea, with few stigmas attached to having procedures done to make eyes rounder, noses more shapely and even calves slimmer.
Many parents pay for cosmetic surgery for their children as a graduation gift and it has become more common in recent years for children to return the favor.
The most sought-after procedures at the clinic are botox injections, which range from 300,000 won to 600,000 won ($322 -$645) and surgery to remove wrinkles.
I personally don't see anything wrong with having cosmetic surgery to correct some things that you don't like, such as wrinkles. I myself have had breast implants and I love them. But I think there is definitely a limit on how much surgery is too much. If you look nothing like you used to because you've had so much nipped and tucked (especially on your face) then you should probably get some help. I got my breasts done for my 18th birthday, so I think that buying cosmetic surgery for gifts can be a good thing.



Eek.
Personally, I think that they way that I look, my body is, my height are gifts from God and I wouldn't want to change it. (For the same reason I wouldn't want to get a sex-change)
I heard that cosmetic surgery was always popular in Korea - they would enhance their eyelids.
Wow. I would not want that.I think if I were a mom I would take it negitavly. What I am so old that you want to disect my face now?
