Some people just can’t seem to get enough of plastic surgery. In the latest WTF-procedure-move, a Brazilian man has gone under the knife to look more Asian. We’ve heard stories of Asian women getting plastic surgery to get rounder eyes in efforts to look more westernized, but this is the first incident we've come across that’s the complete opposite.

Xiahn Nishi, whose former name was Max, fell in love with Asian culture during a student exchange trip to South Korea so much so that he's undergone 10 procedures to look more Asian. The skin around his eyes was injected with hyaluronic acid to make the eyes appear smaller. He also dyed his hair to a dark brown, and as you can tell, changed his name to sound more Asian.

“I think I look handsomer like this. Maybe some people think it’s not but I think it is,” said Nishi. 

Sometimes people adopt a culture when living with its residents for long periods of time, but this case is a little extreme. “I’ve always been shy but now I’m more happy, more confident with myself," explained Nishi. The risk people take all in the name of vanity is fucking crazy, but hey, whatever makes you feel better about yourself, right?
