In reply to:

BTW occidentalizing one's eyes is a popular surgical procedure in Japan.

"Satisfacializing" at its questionable best, Wordwind.

Satisfactualizing at its least, grapho.

or have i missed the point?

There's a slang meaning to facial which I thought might have been being alluded to.

I think (?) Wordwind was picking up on the "fied" in "pearlified". This led her to "satisfied" and hence to "satisfactionize".

I read Wordwind's post to mean that cosmetic surgery of this type is extreme vanity surgery, meant to satisfy the patient's wildest and most dubious vanities. Hence, "satisfaction".

Since this surgery is performed on the face, rather than elsewhere on the body (eg. rings in belly buttons and elsewhere - you will have to imagine "elsewhere" for yourself), I offered what I thought might be an improvement on Wordwind's coinage by linking the vanity surgery to the face, where, in fact, almondizing occurs.

Hence, "satisfacializing".

Starting from scratch, my own coinage would be artifacializing.

Of course, Wordwind can speak for herself ... and I'm sure she will. (Apologies to Wordwind in advance if I have mongrelized her coinage.)

In the Walt Disney movie "Song of the South" (1946), Uncle Remus sings the following line:

“Mister bluebird’s on my shoulder
It’s the truth, it’s actual
Everything is satisfactual”
