Muchi, a nine-year-old from Japan, had a double eyelid procedure to look “more beautiful.” Her mom, Rucchi, insisted on the cosmetic enhancements since “a girl needs double eyelids.”
Mom never thought she was cute
The mom explained that while growing up, her mom and sister had big eyes, and everyone thought her sister was the cute one.
That’s why Rucchi insists this is “the beauty standard.”
Mother’s childhood trauma passed on to her girl
The 9-year-old said her eyes were “too narrow,” so it appears she “glares” at people. Muchi was all in for the surgery, and under Japanese laws, any minor can get a procedure with a parent’s consent.
Rucchi had this surgery at 18
The mom claims she wished she had done it sooner. She added that she did not want her daughter to grow up with a complex like hers.
Blepharoplasty is highly popular in Japan
The blepharoplasty or double eyelid procedure is the most popular among Japanese people. In 2020, 64 percent of all surgeries were blepharoplasty.
It is a low-risk surgery
Despite being low risk, the procedure can go wrong. Michi’s surgery was supposed to last 20 minutes, but it lasted over two hours due to issues with anesthetics.
Michi describes what is beautiful
Talking to Vice, the girl said, “If you can endure the pain of plastic surgery, that makes you a beautiful person, in my opinion.”
Despite the lengthy procedure, Michi does not remember any of it.
The surgery costs around 2,800$
The mom, who has a Youtube channel, shared that Michi started panicking at some point.
The surgery set back the mom of five around 2,800$.
Most people in Japan get influenced to have surgeries
Despite Michi wanting the surgery, many claim that her mother influenced her. Most Japanese people get enchantments due to peer pressure or family or friend influences.
Japan is ranked 4th in the world for having the most plastic surgery procedures.
Rucchi got tearful
After the mom was told she had influenced her daughter, she started crying. She told her daughter, “I’m very sorry that I made her go through that painful experience.”
Mom thanked her daughter
After the procedure was done, I told her, ‘I’m sorry. Thank you very much, you were so brave.'”
Michi told her mom not to cry, adding, “You spent all that money to make me cuter. That makes me happy. Thank you, Mommy.'”
Rucchi’s views on plastic surgery are quite controversial
For this mom, plastic surgery is a form of support. Rucchi believes that “plastic surgery is a part of life for girls.”
Child experts disagree
Tomohiro Suzuki from Tokyo Future University says that minors getting surgeries set “a more ambiguous idea of your ideal image.”
He adds that the ideal image will change with time, that image and the person will “need surgery again to get you closer to that new image, then you are trapped in a loop, unable to stop getting surgery.”
Social media is partly to blame
Despite the rise of perfect-looking influencers and some pet owners even making their dogs go under the knife for the sake of beauty, this trend is extremely dangerous.
Not only that it messes one’s self-esteem, but there is a danger of developing a new addiction – an addiction to plastic enchantments.
