    This is child abuse. A lot of abusive parents don't realize they're abusing their children because they're passing down their trauma. Same thing going on here. There's something very off with with Micchi's mom. I feel bad for this little girl, she's going to need a therapist in 10-20 years when she realizes how dysfunctional her relationship is with her mom. Also how is it not a crime to perform a purely cosmetic plastic surgery on a child with no physical deformation?

    It broke my heart when Michi started crying during the surgery, and also when she said the surgery had no impact on her daily life while mother was insisting that people were appreciating Michi after it. Felt like her mom was already deluded into thinking that without double eyelids her daughter isn't good enough to be featured along side her on UA-cam or whatever. More like the girls worth would not be seen without them is what the parent had fabricated in each cornr of her mind. Its crazy how the parent encouraged a minor in getting one and brainwashing her into extreme beauty standards.

      Another thing is that the cycle continues, because when the child grows up she'll project her own issues she gained from her mother on to her own children and so on. Thus making it a never ending yet toxic cycle, not unless someone at some point within the generation thinks differently about self image and breaks that cycle.

    As a girl from Korea, my parents also made me go through double eyelid surgery when I was 13 as I was also told my eyes looked like I was glaring at people, and it would make me unable to get a good job when I am older. At that time, I was preparing to study abroad at a foreign country so they thought it was the perfect time as nobody would know that I got surgery.
    Being an adult now, I think my eyes look ok, but I still believe that they should’ve let me choose when I am an adult, having the capability to understand the potential consequences of it. Sometimes I wonder what I would’ve looked like if I didn’t go through the surgery, and I don’t think I would’ve looked any less beautiful.
    This is a societal problem rooted in the Asian culture, and it’s truly sad that many people think that outward beauty matters more than what’s inside. I will do my part by loving and showing my children in the future that they are beautiful the way they are, and through more healing and change in the new generations, I hope that this pressure put on young girls can eventually cease.

SO why ruin what god has given u. I can understand getting a surgery if one has trouble seeing but 1st time seeing a mother that thinks her child doesnt look good. what i want to know is why isn't the father intervening & stopping the mother from taking this horrible decision. it should be illegal for kids (under 18) to get plastic surgery done whether its their decision or d parents. govt is at fault here too. feel bad that u had to go through that cos of ur parents

      "Social problem rooted in the Asian culture..." Nailed it! The double eyelid surgery and surgeries that slim round faces are driven by Western beauty standards. It's beyond sad that so many don't appreciate their own unique physical traits. But it would be impossible to believe there is nothing wrong with the way you look when your mother and your classmates constantly tell you that you are ugly and that you must have plastic surgery in order to get a good job or a husband or to simply be accepted. 💔

That mother has projected all her insecurities onto her daughter and now she has internalised all of it and will be incredibly insecure for the rest of her life. Instead of telling her to be a good person or tell her to focus on school, she placed importance on her looks. She doesn’t deserve children, let alone her daughter.

    The mindset is the problem. People discriminating based on the looks is the problem. Rather than encouraging plastic surgery at such an early age, they should include curriculum at school about self-love and self-acceptance. Also, they should spread awareness among parents. Rather than changing your body to fit into the beauty standards (which changes like crazy), if they can change their mindset and be kind to everyone, things would change. I think that if they will praise children for their good attitude, they'll care less about the looks and be more confident for who they are!

Her mom only sees her own insecurities, and does not see that she's traumatizing her own child by forcing her through these surgeries, especially around the eyes!

I was always the one on the side, and so wanted surgery (nose and breast) while I was a teen . It took me a while to accept myself, and love myself for who I am. Also once I accepted me for me I did not have any problems having a successful dating life. I am soooooo glad that I didn't get any surgery, because now what would that say to my children? That the way they were born is ugly? I'm happily married (27 years, and three kids) , and I have a wonderful husband who tells me every day how beautiful I am.

They shove all their body issues and self-hate into you and that’s what you have build your self-image off of. It’s a terrible, viscous cycle. I’m happy the mother recognized the pain she caused, but I know that isn’t going to stop her. As we saw. They both need major therapy! When you teach your child to hate themselves instead of love themselves, you’re sending them down a path of self-destruction.

My parents told me that if I ever modify my body I would have to at least be completely financially independent from them. That being said I am currently saving up for my double eyelid surgery. I am tired of having to glue my eyelids on every day and remove it at the end of the day. For me, it is completely for self-satisfaction and has nothing to do with fitting into the beauty standard (自己満足). I have always been told that I was beautiful growing up by most people and was never insecure about my monolids. I was rather praised for being so beautiful and not ugly despite having monolids. I recently started exploring many makeup styles and I just prefer to have double eyelids than monolids on my face.

    The problem with plastic surgery is that there are trends from year to year. A person who fully invests in one trend will eventually realize that the beauty standard has changed 5 years later and and opt for surgery again. I remember contemplating getting double eyelids when I was younger (18) and thankfully, I had the foresight to question what if double eyelids were not considered beautiful anymore? Then what? So now I have made peace with my monolids as an adult. My looks have changed a lot from the time I was a teenager to now, a decade later, because of puberty. I don't agree with the mom giving her daughter plastic surgery at a young age because of that... I do think that the mother is engaging in covert emotional abuse by projecting her insecurities and outdated views of beauty onto her.
    I think there are many people who are going through different things in their life who turn to plastic surgery as a coping mechanism or view it as a solution to their problems. I can't judge, I can only empathize. I may be Asian but my experience is not reflective of everyone else's, just as theirs is as well. Sometimes people's trauma response is to internalize the problem and blame it entirely on themselves so they change what they can and hope for the best. Passing that onto a child as a mother is f**ed up though.

    Seeing the documentary, i understand that Micchi's mom wanted her to get the surgery because she didn't want her daughter to experience bullying the way she did, and to become a confident person..but in reality, it may make the girl less confident in future and she will always feel the need to be accepted by others and make her more vulnerable to plastic surgery. Parents should not change their children's appearance's to be accepted in society, instead they should teach their children to love the way they are and tell them how beautiful they are. The society should change not the children!

    Ethnic features tend to be very harmonious with other ethnic features. For example, middle eastern people often have very large eyes but it’s well balanced with their thick dark eyelashes, larger noses and other features. Asian features are also very harmonious with each other in a beautiful, well balanced way. If you stuck a Thai nose on a middle eastern person, it would not look balanced. You can’t just slap large middle eastern eyes on an Asian face, it doesn’t look right and it begins to go into that uncanny valley territory. Humans aren’t Mr Potatoheads. Just because science can do something does not mean it should. And we should not be subjecting children to our neuroses and convoluted beauty standards. Each race has its own special type of beauty and I wish we could just celebrate that beauty for exactly what it is. I now see truly frightening plastic surgery on a regular basis and I feel like I’m living in an episode of the twilight zone. It’s no coincidence that mental illness is also skyrocketing.

    I'm a Japanese girl. I've never met a child who wants to have plastic surgery like this, or a girl who has actually had the surgery before. I think this girl really didn't want to get surgery. This girl has very sad eyes. However, Asian girls feel that they have a complex in their appearance. It's true that we think European girls are cute, and you will want to be cute like that. However, I think we Asians are also attractive, and we should be proud of it first.

SO why ruin what god has given u. I can understand getting a surgery if one has trouble seeing but 1st time seeing a mother that thinks her child doesnt look good. what i want to know is why isn't the father intervening & stopping the mother from taking this horrible decision. it should be illegal for kids (under 18) to get plastic surgery done whether its their decision or d parents. govt is at fault here too. feel bad that u had to go through that cos of ur parents

      Same with my brother. Sometimes I am jealous of his tall nose and androgeny. Because no matter how many people say I am cute and pretty he still fits the standard more than me. Sometimes I think it is out the pity. I have more of a button nose and my eyes are smaller compared to his large almond shaped eyes. We both have thick lips but his is more shapely 😑 he is prettier and looks more feminine than I am and he says he would’ve preferred my jawline instead. But feminine looking men are usually preferred over manly looking girls. Whatever, I don’t think I’m ugly and though I’m not the best looking people still find me pretty and I know how to do makeup, so I’m fine staying as I am now. I do not think potential consequences of surgery override my feelings about my face. And like you my parents love me too I think.

      Everyone wants to be beautiful and unique, but you don’t want your looks to stand out *so much, where it’s alienating. Although I don’t agree with children going through cosmetic surgeries, they should be more concentrated on their excellence besides their looks…. I do empathize with their parents wanting them to be more aesthetically pleasing because it DOES give them a better life to an extent.

This poor lady should’ve had therapy in her youth for all the bullying, and then ongoing therapy to help her deal with her special needs child. And the poor daughter herself, the anaesthesia didn’t even work 😟 Not to mention that it’s said casually in front of her “I had to level her up. She needed to conform to society’s idea of cute and pretty” and then she acknowledges “thanks mom for spending money to make me cute.” That poor baby was born cute! She was beautiful the way she was, her mom was so caught in her own trauma, she couldn’t see it 😔
    And the lady in the hostess club definitely needed therapy as a youth. Imagine your own mom holding a knife to herself saying she felt guilty for giving birth to such an ugly kid 😢 Which makes me wonder what her own moms childhood was like, and her grandmother’s etc. There is deep seated generational trauma in that family 😔 She pretends to be fine about it all and puts on a brave face but she gets wasted the night before her surgery.

      The thing is, being a girl means trauma, whether you're beautiful or not. I'm considered very beautiful but I sometimes wonder if my life would have been better if I was "ordinary" or "ugly". Being beautiful will result in other types of traumas. The benefits are not real, they come at a price. A girl or woman relying on her beauty will always have side effects and hit back on you one way or another. Also we live in a society where female beauty is equated to youth, so whatever so called """"power""""" beautiful women have, it is not real, and it will go away once their youth fades, unless they have made sure to invest in gaining real societal power, such as education, money or powerful business or political positions. Women focusing on their looks only prevents them from competing with men for REAL power.

      @@revilivaille7861 this is what today's youth women needs to hear. Stop normalizing the beauty importance and it'll fade away by itself. When we want to get rid of something, it should never be encouraged.

    I had surgery at 20, I cried during the surgery because the anaesthesia wore off, altho i can't feel the pain I could still feel some movement. I don't regret my decision it changed my life because I look prettier but at 9 years old????? It's unbelievable because she is still growing

    All you need to do to make sure your child never feels ugly is to validate their natural beauty.

    Other people's opinions about your looks are THEIR own problem not yours. You can't control how people feel about you. People will always find an excuse to dislike you and you will soon turn into a "people pleaser". I've never known a truly happy "people pleaser". If people's opinion of you makes you happy then that's a YOU problem. I say never give in to bullies they don't deserve your time and efforts.

    I have no words left. Why are we running after perfection when there is none. As they say it changes with the trend so are we supposed to change ourselves according to these so called beauty standars until our soul leaves the body. People has something to say everytime we should just learn to accept the way as it is. Let's just cherish ourselves❤️
