You are destroying what your parents gave you. They say that.
What would you do? - I would get my nose enlarged. Long and thin.
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese. With the boom of plastic surgery in Korea
we are curious and wanna know what Japanese people, especially girls, think about plastic surgery.
in Japan. Let's go and ask Japanese girls. Don't forget to subscribe for
more stuff on our channel. We put up a lot of videos a week. You'll never get bored.
And give us a like on the way. Oh so let's Ask Japanese.
What are the opinions on plastic surgery in Japan? - In Japan...
If you get surgery done, people will discriminate you a little.
Yeah - I wish I could do surgery.
Wow you start the conversation like that? - Well
I want an eye crease. I create it with makeup. - But...?
If I start changing my body, I might get addicted to that
no matter the money. I might not be able to stop and change myself too much
Once you start you can't stop. - _Yeah.
Some get too much into it and go overboard. - And you're scared of that. - Yeah
I am scared of that. - Also it's the body your parents gave you
You are not destroying it, but my mum would say that.
"You are fine the way you are" is what my mum said.
I told her I wanted surgery. - What did you want to do?
At that time, I wanted to create a bigger eye crease. She said do it with makeup.
Leave it like it is. Your mum...
gave birth to your body. Don't damage it.
I was like "I see. I won't then"
Since then I am keeping it natural and grew out of that phase.
I don't need surgery. There is lots of discrimination about it too.
Doing too much for beauty has a negative image here.
I think so. - You can tell when someone had surgery done, looking at their nose etc
Once people do too much, people will look at you weird.
One of my friends in school did surgery in the summer holidays.
She came back with glasses, kept looking at the floor. We all talked
in the class and spread the rumor.
She tried to hide it... but...
In the end it came out.
Sounds like she was bullied for that. - Yeah she was
The teacher said something in front of all "Your face has changed."
Once you are mature, this won't happen but its a timing thing.
Timing. When you are in school, do things that students do. Think of this when you're older.
Do it with the money you earned yourself. I think that would be ok.
Hearing the story of that girl, are you glad now you didn't do it. - Yeah
I did the right thing. I would have regretted it.
There is no proof I would look cuter.
Japanese makeup is really good so with that...
you can create the crease without surgery.
That's good. - Accept yourself the way you are
that's the most important. - Nice.
Do it if it looks cuter in the end. - I think so too.
I am ok with it. - You know anyone who did it?
There are many. Most did the eyes. Monolid to double lid.
My friend did that. - Shaving the bones of the face for a smaller face.
Her face got lots smaller. - One of your friends did that?
Yeah she looked cuter afterwards. - Small cheek
means cute in Japan? - Slender...
She looked skinnier. - Many do nose and the jaw.
I think. - Isn't that expensive. Do people do it in Japan or
Do they go to Japan? - Many go to Korea to get surgery there.
Have you ever wanted to have surgery? - Never.
Hehe. Lies. Have you ever wanted to have surgery? - Never.
Hehe. Lies.
Well yeah I think getting prettier is a good thing.
I am worried about it but I think it's good. - When idols or famous people
go get surgery... what do you think about it? - It will shock me but...
If they are cute or cool due to that, that's fine. - Do you think you'll get it done one day?
Before you get old or something. - My parents would kill me.
Haha. - Why. - They said "If you did that we will kill you"
Or they would disown me. If I did it.
Wow strict. - If I had money I would like to do it but...
I can't do this. I am scared of getting cut.
What would you change?
Me? I would get the double crease I think.
Yeah. - Because your friends did it too?
Yeah many do it. - Why? - The eyes look cuter that way
Hehe. - I would change myself
What would you do? - My nose.
I want a tall nose. Long and thin
I see. - You want a tall nose? - Yes.
I want a skinny tall nose. Extra info here but...
some girls abroad...
will change their tall noses to small noses. - What
That was a good reaction. - Small dainty noses...
are a sign of modesty for some. - Tall noses are beautiful!
Japanese people won't think like them. - Noses from the side are pretty
Totally the opposite. We always want things the other way right.
I wish I could have the long noses they rejected! - Those were
all our questions. Thank you.
So plastic sugery in Japan is not as common as in Korea. One thing
that many girls said, is that getting the surgery to create a
eye crease is fairly common. Some don't even see it as plastic surgery at this point
in time. Some people don't see the extra eye crease as plastic surgery
in Japan. A lot of girls "It happens naturally" is what I heard a lot or...
Girls will go and get the crease done. The reason why Japanese people seem to
like the crease or want the crease... It's said that it opens your eyes, they look bigger
and it's a beauty ideal. Quite a lot of girls
fell pressured to do it or want to do it. I know a lot of models that for example
are on the Kawaii Pateen channel that get the crease done
by doing makeup. There are strips and stripes you can use to do that.
On that note the director is walking thought the screen again. What is your
opinion on plastic surgery, how is it in your country? Is it accepted? Not accepted?
