The physical westernization of Asians

Racial issues aside, Asians look far from Caucasians. They have the most diverse of physical features, which renowned ethnologist Daniel Garrison Brinton described as having “yellow or olive skin, broad face, Mongolian eye form, abundance of head hair, scant beard, small stature, coarse straight hair, a round face, small black eyes and a medium-size, flat nose.” Wherever they are in the world, Asians are unmistakable, and their features are a dead giveaway.

Apparently, this Asian brand of beauty is not appreciated in its own realm. In Korea, one of the emerging centers of cosmetic medicine in Asia, more and more women are undergoing plastic surgery to alter their facial features, modifying their natural Asian features to look Caucasian.

It is no surprise then that Western features are increasingly becoming the accepted benchmark for beauty, so much so that surgical alteration to conform to this standard has become a norm in many Asian countries. Many Asians, particularly women, want to get rid of their big cheekbones, big mandibular angles, and low profile noses, and are willing to go under the knife to acquire a westernized face.

Dr. Kim Byung-gun, head of Seoul’s largest plastic surgery hub BK DongYang, claims the benefits transcend the personal need to feel more beautiful. With the booming global economy, Dr. Kim claims that having a westernized face can be considered as an investment which will yield economic and personal advantages, such as the ability to land a great job and high chances of snagging a good marital partner.

Are penile enlargement surgeries worth it?

If men were asked if they would want their penis to be bigger, most of them would answer yes. This is because in this day and age, the media dictates that a man’s penis size is directly proportional to his power and masculinity, and most men believe that the larger his penis is, the more desirable he will be to women. This is why many men fall victim to numerous penis enlargement scams, such as penis pills, creams, and stretching exercises, while some even contemplate undergoing penile enlargement surgery.

How penile enlargement surgery works

Considering that most penis enlargement solutions out there don’t work, penile enlargement surgery might be the only solution for men who want a bigger penis. There are two types of penile enlargement procedures: lengthening and widening. Penis lengthening procedures involve cutting the ligament that connects the penis to the pelvic bone. This allows more of the penis to become visible outside the body, effectively increasing penis length to an average of less than an inch, while penis widening involves thickening the penis using silicone, fat, or tissue transplantations.

What are the risks of penile enlargement surgery?

Scarring, uneven penis appearance, infection, nerve damage, and reduced sensitivity are just some of the risks that come with penile enlargement surgery. These risks, coupled with the fact that there is no major medical organization that approves of this kind of surgery, make penile enlargement surgery a very risky proposition.

Before deciding to go through penile enlargement surgery, most men should ask themselves this: Are the risks, both financial and medical, worth a half-inch increase?
