What gift did you get for your Quinceañera ?

No, that' not an English word. Stop searching in dictionary!:D "A Quinceañera is the Hispanic tradition of celebrating. a young girl's coming of age - her 15th birthday."

I was reading an article and it was about Venezuel. It said that the most common gift parents gave to their children in Venezueal on their Quinceañera was plastic surgery. Plastic surgery industry is one of the thriving industry in Venezuela. I know that Iran is quite popular for rhinoplasty but I don't think they have any such tradition like Quinceañera.

Well, it may sound odd to you but I think it's deeply ingrained in the culture and it's not a big thing or taboo to get a plastic surgery there even if it is not necessary.(Any further info by Venezuelans would be greatly appreciated! )

Do you have any such tradition like Quinceañera for girls or boys in your countries? And how popular is plastic surgery in your country?

Interesting info and opinion would be appreciated!

Wish you all have a beautiful day!:)

Actually, it is an English word, just like canyon and burro and plaza, and searching in an English dictionary works fine.
