Nose Jobs: Thai Fashion Statement or Beauty Fail?

[khunPer]

In my modest opinion, Thai girls lose their charm when having nose job done.

Not what I think but what I see rather. Between what your statistics show and what I see with my own eyes, I tend to believe the latter. If nothing else it's based on real life that happens around me. So there's nothing to be "surprised" about. Here's my own "statistics" as quoted earlier on,

 The following incident tells me the phenomenon has reached epidemic proportion:

The other night I was sitting in a songthaew outside the mall that was waiting to fill up. One female staff coming out of Lotus climbed in. She saw the lady driver sitting on a bench nearby and yelled out: New nose eh, does it hurt? I looked over and sure enough the other lady sporting some bandaged over her nose. I looked back at the Lotus lady, and again sure enough, she also sported a spiffy shiny new nose, straight as a rod.

My daughter was dissatisfied withe her nose. Against my objection, in her early twenties she had silicon injections which lengthened her nose. 20 odd  years later it all went wrong and she needed an extensive reconstruction which required cartilage to be taken from her ribs. LADIES, DO NOT DO IT!

In reality , they all wish they were western women.  

I prefer a pig nosed Issan farm girl myself.  Those big noses look fake anyway.

It seems that Thai surgeons pay zero attention to the nostrils, leaving them either like sails flapping in the wind, or recipient of rain water afterwards. I think the industry has not reached that level of sophistication. Maybe it takes a generation or two.

Very important point!

I don't know here but in EU they call Thai nose "socket nose" which is offensive and very rude.

Many Thais there get their nose fixed and it will look better if you don't see nostrils.

 

My current gf is very proud of her nose. She must have some farang genes. Her nose looks "European" and her neck is long and the way she carries her head is not a typical shy Thai. She doesn't know it, it's all natural.

When I asked she said "I don't know my father" so there's an answer. I won't ask more. Doesn't matter to me.

Not very scientific lol.

Beauty is very subjective.  I think they look awful and flat noses look better.  Thai people seem to disagree.

I’ve been noticing lately how nose jobs have practically become a casual conversation topic in Thailand, like it’s just another item on someone’s beauty to-do list. Honestly, I’m kind of torn about it. On the one hand, if someone truly wants to tweak their nose and it genuinely boosts their confidence, I say go for it—your body, your call, right? But at the same time, I can’t help but wonder how much of that desire is really coming from within and how much is just society nudging us toward a certain “ideal” look.

 

It’s especially weird to see so many young people—like late teens, early twenties—already saving up for plastic surgery. Part of me is like, wow, that’s a huge decision to make when you’re still figuring out who you are. I had a friend who went under the knife on a whim because she got this random discount deal at a clinic, and she ended up regretting it because the results weren’t exactly what she imagined. Now she’s caught between either living with the dissatisfaction or spending even more to fix it. Stories like that make me wish we talked more openly about the risks and the fact that not everyone ends up with the perfect K-pop nose they hoped for.

 

I guess at the end of the day, it’s about doing a reality check and making sure you’re not just getting a nose job because everyone else on Instagram is doing it. If it’s truly going to make you happy and you’ve done your research, then fine, live your best life. But I do wish there wasn’t so much pressure to look a certain way. It feels like we’re all chasing someone else’s standard of beauty, and sometimes that can mess with our heads.

I didn't even have to run this one through an AI detector. There are various obvious aspects of this post that make it pure AI.

The bigger the better so you can use on those 3-4 days each month.

Why are you not staying on topic that you've been spamming this forum with multiple AI posts in a row today? I'm not going to respond to you any further. You appear to be just trolling. BYE.
