South Korea might be the country with the most extreme plastic surgery practices in the world. As chronicled by Vice’s “Fashion Week Internationale” series (among others), procedures to make people appear closer to cultural beauty norms are so commonplace that almost everyone knows someone who’s had their nose or eyelids done. According to some South Korean publications’ surveys, one in five women in Seoul has had some sort of cosmetic procedure. That’s a lot!
Quite troublingly, a lot of common procedures, like the one that makes people’s eyelids more prominent and foldy, are geared towards attaining a Western ideal of beauty. Yet others are geared not towards making people look like boring Caucasians, but like giant eyed, alien, anime characters.

Lucky for her, few subjects offer a better space for the Kardashians to behave grotesquely than beauty–especially cosmetic surgery. So, first off, apparently Jenner got new breast implants. But of course there’s more. More

Quick: if I say “plastic surgery,” what procedures do you think of first? For me, it’s breast implants and liposuction and Botox. Then I wonder if Botox is really “surgery”. Then I start wondering who gets calf implants. More
You know, I feel like we call any woman who has had a huge amount of plastic surgery a “human Barbie.” That’s certainly the case with Valeria Lukyonova, the 21 year who has modified herself to look like a living doll. But while she may look more like a doll than any other person, how does she compare to actual barbies? Let’s evaluate pictures from her shoot in V magazine compared to actual Barbies.
