Ethnic plastic surgery

Ethnic plastic surgery is when a person chooses to make changes to their body through surgery in order to look like someone from a different racial background. The main goal is to alter a certain feature or features so that they appear more like someone from another racial or ethnic group. For example, someone from a European background might choose to get a nose job to make their nose look more like a nose from an African-American background. Another example could be a person from an Asian background getting their eyes done to make them appear more like eyes from Caucasian background. This type of surgery is not very common, but it can be done to help someone feel more comfortable in their own skin.
