Plastic Surgery
Some plastic surgery procedures, such as Asian blepharoplasty, a surgical process designed to create an upper eyelid crease in people of East Asian descent, or rhinoplasty to change the appearance of an "ethnic" nose, can also be seen in a racial context. Lip augmentation (lip collagen and lip implants) is a very popular surgical procedure choice of white women, this surgical procedure enlarges the patients lips to a fuller lip size, changing their lips from Caucasian to ethnic/ black. Another surgical choice of white women is buttock augmentation (buttock implants and buttock enlarging injections), which gives the surgery patient buttocks that resembles a black woman's buttocks.
