1. Face Shrinking
The Japanese people have invented a sauna mask that is designed to shrink the wearer’s face. It works by covering the face, except for the eyes and ears. The idea is that the heat from the mask induces heavy sweating and reduces the size of the face. The results are likely temporary, but could give you the slim face you want for a special occasion.
2. Teeth Molds
You’d think everyone would want straight, white teeth, right? Not so in some Oriental circles. In fact, some people wear a mold that gives them the appearance of having a snaggletooth. Beauty definitely changes from place to place, doesn’t it? The molds snap onto your real teeth and can change up your look when you want them to.
3. Double Eyelid
Did you even know such a thing existed? The Caucasian eyelids are apparently a coveted thing in some Oriental cultures. I’m not sure why because I think Asian girls are gorgeous. But, for those that want the double eyelid look comes the eyelid trainer device. It’s worn like a pair of eyeglasses and it is supposed to train your eyelids to get bigger every time you blink.
4. Young Looking Cheeks
We all want to look young and fresh and the Oriental women are no exception. In fact, many of them use anti-aging cheek stretchers. They are worn for about 15 minutes per day and are supposed to eliminate wrinkles and keep the cheeks looking line free. The stretchers are reusable and machine washable.
If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.
5. High Nose
Many Oriental women want a nose that sits higher on their face. I guess I don’t understand the need to change your nose because I have never seen one that was so awful that it should be different. However, for women who want to lift their nose is the handy High Nose Beauty Lift device. It’s worn on the face and is supposed to reshape the nose so it looks perky and high. Would you try it?

6. Bagel Head
Who doesn’t love a bagel, right? The Oriental love them so much that having a bagel shape on the forehead is a growing beauty trend. It’s achieved by having saline injections in the forehead to create the bagel shape. The look is about extreme body modification, which is popular in some Oriental cultures. The look is temporary and will fade after several hours.
7. Long Legs
Long legs as a beauty ideal aren’t shocking, but the lengths that many people will go to to get them is. In China, some people have undergone leg lengthening surgeries where metal rods are placed in their legs so they appear taller. Height is a beauty ideal that many cultures understand, but using such drastic measures to get there is shocking to some people.
Are you shocked? Would you do any of these things?

KK: I am shocked yes. How vain can you get ? Physical beauty is nothing compared to the person inside. If you have a brain and a half decent personality you're over half way there. There is no such thing as perfection as everyone's perception of beauty is entirely different. Play on your strong points and give up on trying to look "perfect"!
Bburcumm: So many things are wrong with this article.
Anna: Chill. Lol
Ailyn: The double eyelids aren't based of the caucasian eyes there are asian women who already have them and they just like double eyelids because it makes the eyes appear bigger. Also I agree woth Amdi as well.

Simone: Deeby nailed it.
Tina: Those people doing these are minority. 😑
Vanessa: I thought the word "oriental" was racist!
Audrey: I know nos 1, 3, 5, 6, & 7 are accurate. I'm an Asian myself. But never in my wildest dream I will do any of these. I'm contented with my beauty.
sharon: Why would people want to go to such extremes to change their bodies. Embrace what you have and love yourself
