10 Countries That Place a Premium On Cosmetic Surgery (4 of 6)

6. Japan

You won’t see a lot of tummy tucks, liposuction or booty ballooning over in Japan as the body type of the women over there isn’t really conducive to it. But what you will see is an abundance of eyelid surgeries. Makeup and skincare are also all the rage, just like in neighboring South Korea.

7. Colombia

It pretty much sucks to be a teenage girl because from a young age they are constantly being reminded that the only thing that matters in life is maintaining a slender figure. It’s gotten so bad that when a girl turns 15 (known as quinceañeras, or “Latin, Non-Jewish Bat Mitzvah”) they are often given the gift of a new nose or breast implants since this is when they typically enter beauty pageants in Columbia. As a result, the country rates high in terms of eating disorders.
