In most beauty pageants having plastic surgery usually results in a disqualification but in this pageant, plastic surgery is a requirement; botox or collagen injections do not count. Budapest, Hungary, 2009, a night for unnatural beauties, the first beauty pageant to acknowledge plastic surgery, it ''strove to promote the benefits of plastic surgery in a country where artificial enhancements are viewed mostly with a wary eye.'' Obviously this all means the pageant is only for contestant that received a surgical procedure. '' "The entry requirement," says Reka Bodis, press director of the pageant, "is a surgical procedure done under general or local anesthesia." '' Surgery that is eligible and was showed off included breast implants, nose jobs and face lifts. One finalist had surgically adjested toes. The beauty pageants was eliglibe for 18-30 and the contestants over 30 had a seperarte category, ‘‘dame’’. They, also, had to prove they went under the knife. Contesntants included were a former rhythmic gymnast, a firefighter married to a police officer, a mother of three and several strippers.
Pageant queen Reka Urban, a 22-year-old hostess, won an apartment in Budapest, first runner-up Edina Kulcsar was given a new car and second runner-up Alexandra Horvath took home diamond jewelry worth $10,800. The winners' plastic surgeons also received awards.Despite the country's crisis-ravaged economy, plastic surgery has been booming. A surgeon explained that even if one does not have money, they will find the money if the surgery is important. He is qutoed saying that plastic is is about restoring harmony; eliminating asymmetries and giving the women the opportunity to have normal features.
