Hi,

What does a "plastic beauty" mean? Does this term make sense itself?


Thanks a lot
 
Without context, we'd be reduced to guessing.

Oh,sorry.

I got this from my translation material, because it is merely a term in the material, so I forgot to make a context, now let me make one for it:


John decided to marry the ugly girl rather than the plastic beauty because he thought that nature is always the best.


Thanks a lot, Rover.
 
Her facial features have been beautified by cosmetic procedures - plastic surgery, botox injections, nose reduction etc.

Rover
 
Thanks a lot, so can I say you think the term makes no sense to you.


Yours

No, he means he needed to see the context in order to make sense of it.
 
I've already made a context for him, is it still not enough?
 
Plastic beauty makes sense.

Message #4 explains what it means to me.
