Plastic Surgery

Jump to Comments

Its been a long time since i blog something “long” and wordy.

I think people are getting sick from reading me being jaded and stress up…I don’t want people to get seasick from reading my blog.

So…plastic surgery
I once mentioned that i might consider going under the knife to get double eyelids.Mine is kinda like inner eyelid.I always wanted to be like my friends, able to put on nice eye shadows and eye liner.The whole made-up eyes are so nice!!!

My eyes looks kind of sleepy, lethargic and gives people the impression that i’m cold and aloof.
Well i’m not such a person actually.People who know me knows i’m a chatterbox.

Anyway why i love double eyelids so much but i don’t use tapes, because its highly uncomfortable and highly fake looking on me.I think i got this weird eye shape that no tapes can fit.And i hate the feeling of Cinderella, like after i peel off the tape, i revert back to my bored looking self.And i’m not the kind who want to be fake, because i will feel like i’m in someone else’s body.

I did scourge the internet and look for information regarding about double eyelid surgery.To the point i’m so prep up to go slice it.

But come to think of it…
I think i’m not doing it.At least not now.
My friends all objected me to go.My mum did not comment when i keep hinting her about the surgery.

I didn’t want to go because I’m kind of afraid that it looks good on others but not on me.Also it depends alot on face shapes. And i keep staring myself in the mirror, and i realised that my eyes, nose, mouth are in different shapes, it balance the overall features.

I got small eyes, big nose, pouty lips…sound no such thing near perfection, but it looks balanced on me. I once tape my eyelids to produce a double eyelids effect, I think i tape too high, made my eyes look too big, that my face look so wrong.Big eyes, big nose, big mouth….weird.

And another reason why i hope to keep my original eyes is that, it comes from my father.We 3 children have single eyelids, but we have line creases appearing sometimes, that is probably from my mum, she has double eyelid.
It will be nice to know that whenever i look in the mirror, i see my parents features looking back at me.

Although i can’t get over the fact that I think i will look better in double eyelids, but i have to accept things.Although this can be change, but i like to accept it and just get over it. That amount of surgery money, i can do so much more with it, i can travel or buy lots of stuffs with it.

Another thing, I realised Korea is super over-emphasising on beauty.They are famous for their good plastic surgery doctors and the people who go under the knife as well.Korea have more people with single eyelids compared to Singapore, and many of them did plastic surgery before.And i don’t mean just the eyelids, they doctored their nose, jaw lines as well.

Now their latest beauty statement, small faced.
They think small face meant beauty and youthfulness.

To me, Koreans have beautiful skin, that’s beauty.

But reality they don’t work that way.I think the celebs feel very pressurized of being in the limelight all the time, they have to look good all the time.

I like Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), she’s Korean with the infamous single eyelid but she still look beautiful! And single eyelids people don’t have that much expressions power than double eyelids, but she still can pull off different expressions well in the hit series Grey’s Anatomy.

Beauty is only skin deep.

Its your personal philosophy and confidence that can make you shine. Peppered with some humour and intellectual, it will goes a long way.

I won’t purposely do the eyelid surgery.But if i develop this condition, Ptosis…

Ptosis is an abnormally low position (drooping) of the upper eyelid. The drooping may be worse at night, when the individual’s muscles are tired. This condition is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a “lazy eye,” a separate condition known as Amblyopia. If severe enough and left untreated, the drooping eyelid can cause other conditions, like Amblyopia or Astigmatism.

I don’t know whether this condition needs to go under knife or not.But if so, it might be a blessing in disguise :P

Stacey, stop it!
