There's a difference between photoshopping some parts of a body to a believable extent that is easy to sustain in real life, and altering your face and skin to a form you would never achieve and is humanely impossible. There's gotta be some line where you realize what is acceptable to pretend and what is not.

That's just about how less intelligent they are in doing the pretending. Now about how they are fundamentally different in valuing the truth, let's compare the tendency of following the fashion trend between the US and S.Korea. The collectivist S.Korea has more people following one trend and that's how you end up with seeing comical amount of people wearing the same clothings and haircut in the street of Gangnam. The individualist US on the other hand, has a better judgement on whether they should follow the trend or to just choose the fashion that is objectively look good on themselves, i.e. not abandoning the truth to appease the collective. This one is not explainable by them being less intelligent or having less sense of aesthetic.
