The things we do for beauty. Many of us will try out new and semi-bizarre beauty trends if it means adding a few years to our youthful glows or making us feel pretty, but men and women in Asia have been taking this concept to a whole new level. Case in point: the bagel injection.

Yes, you read correctly. The latest trend in beauty procedures over there just so happens to resemble our favorite Sunday breakfast item: the bagel. “National Geographic Taboo” reports on this strange beauty trend, where women, (and men, too), are getting injected with 400 cc of saline to in their foreheads to create a bagel-like shape. Why? Just for fun.

As National Geographic reports, this trend is part of the Japanese, “body modification”, art scene that has become popular, (other body mod trends include head-to-toe tattoos and facial implants).

In fact, the injections only give that, “coveted bagel look”, for about 16 hours before fading.

Bottom line: If you’re trying something new to get attention, well, this may just do the trick. At least for a whole 16 hours.

Them crazy Japanese.. As often as I see them doing weird stuff online I didn't see much there. The "ricer" cars were very rare. It was pretty rare in Tokyo to see Toyota/Hondas that weren't taxis or drivers ed cars. Everyone seemed to drive BMWs, Porches, Mercedes. I also saw a handful of Ferraris and Bentleys.
I also didn't see many people with weird fashion. There was different fashion but nothing crazy like this. Everyone carried an umbrella though..but that was because of sudden rain. Ah I wish I could be there now

saline inflation has been done a lot, not just in Japan. i dont think it was started there either... the bagel head look doesnt appeal to me, personally, but whatever they want to do is cool with me...

here is an example of saline clitoral inflation:

Ewww! That's gotta hurt! Not visually appealing either!

Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if Brometheus will like it ;)
