I know I spoke of double eyelid surgery in class but this topic is something that I feel very strongly for. I remember when I was little, my mom and sister would get into discussions about our double eyelids. Since that conversation, I envied my sister's double eyelids, as silly as that sounds. My dad even mentioned that my mom used to put scotch tape on her eyelids in an attempt to form a little bit of a crease. The fact that my mom deals with the same problem as me back when she was my age now really resonates with me.
Moreover, my friends have been showing me K-Pop music videos. Korean girl pop stars all have HUGE eyes, given because of their East Asian Blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery). Its amazing that Asian cultures are so used to girls' desires for double eyelids, the surgery is passively accepted in their society. However, undergoing the surgery is a dangerous procedure and requires six months until full recovery.
Although this website is from a clinic in LA, I thought it demonstrated the casual-ness of the double eyelid surgery...http://www.asiancosmeticsurgery.com/losangeles-doubleeyelidsurgery.php
