I have no ties to the plastic surgery industry, and I agree that people with symmetrical and ethnically balanced features are most attractive to me, and most people I ask agree as well. It doesn't mean that you should go and have plastic surgery if one eye is slightly smaller than the other.
Well, I have been around the block a few times, and I know when to put on my cynical hat.
I remember the days before deodorants. When everyone smelled fine and then all of a sudden there is a barrage of commercials on TV suggesting that there are these nasty smells caused by bacteria that have to be dealt with!
And then, there was a time when maybe one out of a thousands kids would have orthodontics (braces). Once tooth-decay began to become less of a problem, all of a sudden every kid needed braces and there was all kinds of dental insurance to pay for the braces.
The rest is history: breasts, eyes, cheeks, ears, legs, butts, height. You name it and they can fix it. So, now we have a
scientific study that says women are more appealing if they are symmetrical. Great. :perplexed:
