Khaberni - The pursuit of beauty is no longer limited to just external appearance, but it has become an obsession for some that exceeds natural limits; some individuals seek to obtain perfect features for themselves and their children even before their birth. With the spread of cosmetic surgery and the development of modern techniques, some women believe that these procedures can affect the genetic traits of the fetus, in an attempt to give birth to children with more beautiful features. This belief has been exemplified by a strange incident that recently stirred wide controversy in Russia, according to Oddity Central.
Russian Woman Stirs Controversy with Eye Color Change Surgery During Pregnancy
A Russian woman caused a major stir on social media after claiming that she underwent surgery to change her eye color during pregnancy, hoping to give birth to a child with blue eyes. Her story quickly spread on Russian platforms, raising many questions about the likelihood of such cosmetic changes being transmitted to the fetus and whether these procedures can affect genetic traits.
Current Eye Color Changing Techniques
The field of cosmetics has recently seen significant developments in eye color changing techniques, including several methods such as implanting an artificial iris to permanently alter color, or using lasers to remove melanin from the iris surface to switch from brown to blue within seconds.
Corneal Pigmentation
A newer technique known as corneal pigmentation or corneal tattooing has emerged, relying on biocompatible dyes to permanently color the cornea.
Despite the variety of these methods, doctors and experts confirm that there is no scientific evidence proving that these procedures can affect DNA or that their results can be transmitted to the fetus.
Bizarre Belief Provokes Ridicule
In an interview on a popular podcast, a Russian cosmetic expert claimed she underwent the procedure before giving birth because she was convinced that her DNA would rearrange itself to reflect the new color in her child.
Ridicule Responses on Social Media
Comments mocking the story flooded in as soon as it went viral, with one commenter jokingly saying, “I had laser hair removal before pregnancy so that my children would be born hairless!” highlighting the absurdity of the belief that cosmetic procedures could affect genes.
Many see this story as further proof of the proliferation of superstitions linked to beauty and modern technology, confirming that some people are chasing beauty illusions without any scientific awareness or logical thinking.
