Many don't understand how Chinese runs China company pp

i actually met some women who look or that are aiming to look exactly like Abby. It's very artitifical and they don't look that pretty in real life IMO. I feel like it's more like a fantasy that they are trying to create. They remind me of these female characters from Japanese manga. There's almost this cartoon-like quality in what they are trying to achieve.

@BambiAndreea April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

She's surrounded by toxic people no wonder 😢

@BambiAndreea April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

They all look the same but after everyone gets those surgeries they will look the same, again

@weezydee4452 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Less than 10 minutes in and so many disturbing statements.😔

@maibaum899 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

こういう他の文化圏を侮辱するドキュメント大好きだよね、イギリスって。本国はパキスタンに侵食されてめちゃくちゃになってるんだから、それを取材すれば?😂😂😂😂底辺文明帝国ブリカス

Dr He only botched one nose out of all the noses he had done in the past decade. she is just super unlucky

@tellercamille8080 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Dr He is licensed now. stop chasing him

@yujia5309 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

All that money, surgery and makeup then they use industrial strength filters 😂

@Rebsxo3 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Just doesn’t ever seem to be full justice for those who suffered from the fake surgeons, there’s no repercussions for the surgeons or clinics. Its disgusting how much they get away with and even the police in China do nothing, the embassy in China do nothing even though it’s against the rules and laws, seems like they prefer to brush it under the rug than confront those responsible so then that leaves them open to take advantage of others!

運動和均衡飲食可以讓你自然且永久地保持健康。抽脂只是暫時的,而且看起來不平衡

@tellercamille8080 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

exercise and a balanced diet can you make look fit naturally and forever. liposuction is only temporary and looks imbalanced.

@mixy234 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

The Substance in real life 😢

@lola_incarnate April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

What is the point of showing edited pictures of you?? 😅

@pinkpapayarusyse9903 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

They are so desperate to look white! Crazy because they are already beautiful the way they are! The new faces look weird and the skin is bumpy and textured

@purepranasam April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I’m so sad for these girls and women. Being natural in the world is honestly so freeing. Focus on inner beauty and your outside will be beautiful 🧡

@moonbeet April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

What a waste of a soul to spend so much time, energy, and money on one's external appearance. I feel sorry for these people. They're essentially fighting against nature by going so far to change their natural looks, by trying to stay young, and by reducing the beautiful diversity of natural faces and bodies because everyone ends up looking so similar trying to achieve some stupid idealized standard of beauty. This is madness and misery. I pray that they'll instead spend their energy cultivating their minds and hearts, focusing on what truly matters, and then find inner peace.

@Tiii.artttt April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

She was gorgeous before the surgery 😍 ✨️

@Rebsxo3 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Wow her even saying to one of the co workers why aren’t you wearing any make up? I will keep an eye on you tomorrow?! Jesus so if she’s not wearing make up she’s gonna get fired?! Sooo bad!!

@judydyer April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

30% interest!

@asherslife9400 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

thats why chinese ladies seldom do cosmetic surgery. A lot can be scammers and unlicensed practitioners out there. its not worth the risk

@judydyer April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Many young women think there is something wrong with their looks. Even models. I thought everything was wrong with me and I was practically perfect.

@Luvluna19 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

The advertisements are crazy like it’s killin me

@asherslife9400 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

she did the cosmetic surgery just to support her friends newly opened business

@Luvluna19 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I think it’s way too common like how she said her friend recommended her to get a nose job … I would never tell my friends to get it like …

@rarelight5289 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

No wonder east asian women look same

@JONT-l9f April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

In the US, the Plastic Surgery Capital is Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach in South Florida. Aside from the usual Lipo Suction, Boob Jobs (lots and lots of those) ,Face Lifts, Nose Jobs there's also Chin Implants, Bucal Fat Removal, Lip and Cheek Fillers and BBLs (butt implants). The women usually end up with the same Upturned Nose that I call Miss Piggy Nose, Chipmunk Cheeks and Swollen Sex Doll Lips. of course everyone gets BOTOX.
Even guys are also doing Implants. Liposuction, Body Augmentation to get that Buff Muscle Six Pack abs when working out and steroids dont do enough.
There are a lot of Fake Plastic Surgeons in Florida.

@LubnaBegum-uv4cv April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

All Chinese people look sem face

@mpalmer7800 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

With all the cash spent on beautifying oneself why the need for so much tons of makeup?

@shahrzadtales April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

The Japanese animes played a significant role; sad but real

@adw6894 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I feel bad for her poor face going through all those things. But at least she's honest and open about the surgery

@adw6894 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

She's gorgeous before any surgery too. But at least you can give her credit for being open and honest about the huge reality of what she's doing.

@starrynightfall00 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Westerners look down on these Chinese women as being foolish and vain but in the same breath call trans people's surgeries stunning and necessary when they get these same surgeries. Both groups have a similar type of body dysmorphia, tbh. But at least these Chinese women are being less dangerous as they're not getting their genitals mutilated to the point they no longer function. I do think this PS obsession in Asia is concerning, but I think westerners are being hypocritical. It's easier to look at others and judge what they're doing instead of addressing the problems we already have.

@Mandz6494 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Mum needs a 👋🏻…disgusting

@Effrosyne April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

@HuangBeth April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

what about koreans?

@janebraun4482 April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

They basically lose their racial identity, become ambiguous

@deewis April 28, 2025 - 2:42 pm

You're too small, too short, too tall
Not big enough, thick enough
Pen to the fall, they'll change it all
Everything before was wrong
