I think the first nose job I knew about was in high school when a girl a year behind me came

back from summer vacation with a new nose and it was like very new.

really knew people who seemed like normal human beings who had had plastic

surgery and it was an Asian American woman whose mother had made her have her eyes done like made to look more more Western and she would talk about it saying well my mother made me when I was 12 13 which sounded to me like

daughters go to doctors to get you know put under general anesthesia and get

cut up.
