Pets Receiving Cosmetic Surgery
- Anna describes Singaporean owners paying a cosmetic surgeon to operate on prized Arowana and goldfish.
- Surgeons use anaesthetic water and teams to keep gills irrigated while operating on the fish.
Rarity Turns Animals Into Status Symbols
- Arowana went from common food fish to protected, prized pets because rarity made them fashionable.
- Cultural meanings (dragon association) amplified demand and status value.
Test Cosmetic Changes Temporarily
- Try temporary cosmetic options like saline injections to test changes before permanent surgery.
- The so-called "holiday boobs" let people trial appearance changes for a day or a few weeks.
