Korean women hold the record for the number of plastic surgeries. Statistics say: every third woman has resorted to the help of a surgeon at least once. Approximately 35% of Korean women from 18 to 30 years old have had plastic surgery at least once (but many managed to completely reshape their faces by the age of 30).
In South Korea, it is generally not customary to say “love yourself for who you are.” Body positivity is not about this country. On the contrary, mothers tell their daughters that on the path to happiness they will have to visit more than one surgeon.
If you want to find a good job in Korea, you will have to try hard and choose your best photo, which must be sent to the employer along with your resume. Naturally, at the interview you need to look just as good as in that photo. If two equally cool specialists come to one interview, they will choose the one who is simply prettier.
Plastic surgery in Korea: excellent results at reasonable prices
South Korea is one of the most developed countries in the world, which never ceases to amaze with its achievements. Not so long ago, this country began to actively develop medical tourism, fortunately it has everything necessary for this - a developed system of multidisciplinary medical centers, high technologies and qualified doctors.
Every year the country receives more and more foreign patients wishing to receive medical care in a Korean clinic. Most often, these are patients who go to Korea for treatment of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. But South Korea is also famous for its achievements in plastic and reconstructive surgery. All types of operations to eliminate cosmetic defects and reconstruct body parts and organs are performed here.
In their practice, plastic surgeons in South Korea use advanced medical technologies - minimally invasive interventions and unique techniques that make it possible to eliminate defects on the body without postoperative scars. Many patients leave positive reviews, showing their photos after plastic surgery in Korea.
Standards and stereotypes.
Korea is a country that is incredibly exposed to Western influences, fashion trends, etc. Among Asian pop stars there are practically no people who could be called not beautiful. More and more young girls are becoming similar to each other: of course, due to the desire for the same standards. But these people, shining with their beauty from television screens and magazine covers, are those whom both schoolgirls and housewives want to be like.
It turns out to be a vicious circle: stylists, hairdressers, make-up artists - “artists” who create images of stars, are inspired by trends that are inspired by Western fashion. Ordinary citizens follow, first of all, people of the same nation and race. Those who are not so far away, but are considered ideal: behind these stars.
It must be said that among celebrities there are many whose beauty is truly natural and is emphasized only by Korean cosmetics, but not by a surgical scalpel, or the correction is minimal.

This is especially true for those who started working about 7-10 years ago or earlier, but, unfortunately, it is difficult to repeat the same about the younger generation of artists.
It is not difficult to understand why, in this case, many girls dream of a “new” face, or, at best, correction of a specific area of it, from an early age.
Is it worth explaining why a certain amount of money (by the way, not a colossal amount) to go to the clinic “for a new face” is not a strange or rare gift?
Plastic surgery is increasingly being given to children by parents. The most common occasions are graduation from school and entering college, Christmas, New Year, birthday.
Popular plastic surgery techniques in Korea
Clinics in South Korea offer a varied range of plastic surgery services.
Facial surgery:
- A facelift is a plastic surgery aimed at eliminating aesthetic defects associated with weakening of the muscles of the face and neck. During a facelift, Korean plastic surgeons eliminate wrinkles, subsidence of subcutaneous fat tissue, age spots and other “roughness” that the patient wants to get rid of.
- An eyelid lift is an operation that lasts only 30-50 minutes for each eye. Korean plastic surgeons will eliminate the problem of drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes, making you look younger and more attractive.

- Other operations . Plastic surgery clinics in South Korea also offer a number of other operations to eliminate aesthetic facial defects, including unique proprietary techniques.
Breast plastic surgery:
- Breast augmentation – breast augmentation surgery with and without implants. Implantless breast augmentation is possible, for example, using lipofilling, when fat cells taken from other areas of the body (buttocks, thighs, abdomen) are transferred to the breasts.
- Breast reduction is an operation to reduce the size of the breast. In some cases, such intervention may be indicated for medical reasons, since too large breasts place serious stress on the spine and cervical spine.
- Breast lift is a surgical technique that allows you to eliminate problems such as ptosis (drooping) of the breast. There are several methods for lifting the mammary glands, including those using special threads, which are installed to create a frame on which the breasts are supported.
- Breast plastic surgery for men . Some men face such a problem as gynecomastia - enlarged breasts. This usually happens due to hormonal imbalance. For men in such cases, breast reduction surgery is performed.
Body plastic surgery:
- Liposuction is one of the most popular surgeries for people suffering from excess fat deposits. It is noteworthy that liposuction is also performed on patients with normal weight, but who have excessive fat accumulation in a certain area, for example, the buttocks or sides. This is a very effective technique that allows you to permanently get rid of excess fat tissue in problem areas and emphasize the contours of your body.
- Body skin tightening (body lifting) is an operation that will help you get rid of sagging, hanging skin and wrinkles on the body. During this operation, the skin is removed from some areas of the body, liposuction is performed in some areas, and lipofilling is performed in others. This improves body contour and tightens the skin.
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). Eliminating the problem of sagging skin on the abdomen is possible with the help of abdominoplasty. Often, this operation is used by women after childbirth, as well as by people who have lost a significant amount of kilograms, after which their skin on the stomach and other places began to sag.
- Other operations. Plastic surgery clinics in Korea offer other plastic surgeries on the body, such as scar correction, hand rejuvenation, intimate surgery and many others.

Diagnostics before plastic surgery
Before and after plastic surgery in Korea, the patient must undergo diagnostics. Plastic surgery, like any other surgical intervention, has a number of contraindications and limitations. In order to understand how ready the patient is for such an intervention, doctors prescribe a series of studies.
As a rule, the following studies are performed before plastic surgery:
- General blood test and biochemistry.
- Blood test for clotting.
- Analysis of urine.
- Assessment of organ functions (mainly kidneys, liver and heart).
- Analysis for infections.
- Instrumental diagnostics (if necessary).
After conducting the research, doctors determine whether the patient needs additional measures to prepare for the intervention.

The quality of life.
This is not always the case and there are many striking examples of when a new face obtained thanks to the work of surgeons actually improved the quality of life.
It is a well-known fact that even when applying for a job, the photo on your resume matters a lot, not to mention other areas of life.
Beautiful, up-to-standard young boys and girls are incomparably more popular, without making any effort, when others, those who, perhaps, would blossom with age, “overgrow” with complexes due to the lack of the necessary attention, popularity, and often the desired success.
It is difficult for adult women to get married if they do not have a beautiful face, it is not easy to find a job, it is difficult to love themselves enough. Especially in an age when anyone can simply go and “buy” beauty, which will immediately open many locks.

Lip surgery
While women all over the world dreamed of getting lips like Angelina Jolie's, Korean women came up with their own ideals of beauty. They go crazy for “cherry lips.”
The essence of the technique is that volume is not added everywhere, but only in the center. Thus, the tick above the upper lip becomes more expressive, and the mouth itself begins to resemble a cherry. It is believed that “cherry plastic surgery” makes the face more youthful and naive.
