Is there really a surgical procedure to make someone white?

Question

BTW, I'm just curious, I'm not planning on having such a procedure. If there is one, how is it done? Can white people also turn black?

Answer 1

I remember seeing an ad in a National Geographic magazine about changing your skin color. I'd say it's possible.

Answer 2

There is. There are two ways for all I know. The laser ones, and the chemical ones.

It basically works by blocking melanine, the thing that makes the skin color. But it won't make you white like caucasian. It's just going to make you look pale.

Answer 3

Black to white

They would probably have to kill of  half of the melanocytes in the skin (the melanin producing cells which give the skin [and hair] its tone)

Don't know if it's a cream, lasers, or RF radiation. You might even get melanoma later on, don't know.

White to black

A whole-body tattoo?

Answer 4

If michael jackson can do it, anyone can do it

Answer 5

Unless either of their parents are black or white or whomever is back up in their family tree, I highly doubt there is any medical procedures that can surgically turn someone another culture. I mean skin tone is nothing but so much or so less melanin in the skin, but to truly be of European, Irish, Scottish, etc.(white cultures) or even African-American, Haitian, Jamican, etc. (black cultures) you would have to be born into either one of those or both, if you have one white parent and one black. But no surgery can give you a whole other cultural lifestyle.

Answer 6

hey look at Mike Jackson...If you got the dough they have a way to make your face roll.

Answer 7

lol thats pretty sad if sumone wants to do that.

Answer 8

There is and michael Jackson is living proof. No not white to black tho.

Answer 9

I guess they can do that in spite of the many side effects

Answer 10

WTF?

Answer 11

they jsut have to alter the pigmentation in your skin... it can be done, but i hear its rather expensize and may not be successfull... you could come out looking like a leopard.

Answer 12

Not yet, but that is one of the main goals of stem cell research.

Answer 13

As long as I can remember, there's been this skin-lightening cream on the market and sold in drugstores.  I don't think it would make a black person dramatically lighter, but maybe a half a shade to a full shade...but for someone like Michael Jackson, for example, he had the best skin-lightening procedure that money could buy...and what that would be...only his plastic surgeon could tell you.

I don't think there's any way a white person could turn black...unless someone can be injected with melanin.

Answer 14

Heh, im not exactly sure, but i wouldnt doubt it.

Answer 15

Yes, there is a procedure where basically they bleach out the pigment in your skin. I knew someone in Japan who had it done.

Oddly, there's also something that focuses on bleaching the pigment out of your anal sphincter. The whole thing is weird to me, but it does exist.

And no, it isn't just buying bleach from the store and pouring it on you, but it is a chemical process.

Answer 16

just look at michael jackson  

Answer 17

Ask Michael Jackson...I guess there is one, and then after a couple of years, your nose falls off. So it's like 2 plastic surgeries for the price of one. Nose too big? No problem.

Answer 18

im pretty sure its called like bleaching or something. i think michael jackson did it. and the alternitive is tanning. it wont turn you black. but if you do it enough you'll get really dark

Answer 19

Well, yea, just look at micheal jackson.

Answer 20

No, because even if you change someone's appearance, you cannot change their DNA.  If they have children, the children will have the same ethnic traits that the parent has changed.

When it comes to plastic surgery, the answer is still no.  There are so many procedures that a person would have to go through in order to look like an opposing race.  These procedures include breaking the jaw to push it backward or forward and other ridiculously unnecessary things like that.  Although, I must admit that some people are able to look more white/black/native/asian/hispanic if there features are already similar and then they receive plastic surgery.

Answer 21

if there was than michael jackson wouldnt look so fricked up

Answer 22

You know i heard in elementary school that there was

something in your body you can take out if your black and it makes you white. But i reallllly dont think thats true.  

Answer 23

Where in the world did you hear this madness?  "The Onion"?
