I never went through with the surgery, but my experience is hardly unique. The pressure to alter one's features and body is endemic in every group and ethnic community in America, and in Asia it is as routine as having one's wisdom teeth pulled. But the number of minorities getting plastic surgery is apparently on a steep rise.
According to a survey by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of minorities getting plastic surgery quadrupled from 1997 to 2002. And in 2005 Asian Americans had 437,000 cosmetic surgeries, up 58 percent from 2004.
