As the country with the largest number of cosmetic procedures per capita, South Korea is willing to give it a try, whether it is "face-changing" plastic surgery or micro-plastic surgery, or skin management and cosmetic surgery, as long as it can have a beautiful appearance.
Under the trend that the whole people love beauty, "becoming beautiful" has become an invisible pressure.
Not only women, but also more and more Korean men are entering plastic surgery clinics and beauty salons.
I hope to create a more outstanding face for them by means of the day after tomorrow. ...

Park Jae-hoon, 29, lives in Seoul and started to write a video blog two years ago.
As he communicates with people more and more confidently, he is more and more dissatisfied with his appearance.
He has been dating girls for many years and wants to find a beautiful girlfriend.
He pinned his hopes on "becoming more handsome". "This may give me a better chance."
In order to achieve his goal, Park Jae-hoon is acting silently. For example, his hair is sparse and he always wears a wig.
But he has no other choice for this face, and he can only look good by micro-shaping.
He underwent eyelid and nose plastic surgery and recently turned his attention to his chin.
I hope that micro-plastic surgery can increase the outline of the chin, raise the corners of the mouth and make him look more approachable.
This kind of micro-shaping is very simple. Although it's called surgery, it doesn't take much time to use a knife.
Wait a while after applying anesthetic ointment. After the anesthetic took effect, Park Jae-hoon lay in the therapeutic chair.
The doctor identified 10 acupoints around the lips and injected them separately.
The injection process only took 9 minutes, and the corners of the mouth rose obviously, and the effect was visible to the naked eye.
Then it took another 4 minutes, and the injection in the chin area was completed.
He put on a black mask, covered the lower half of his face and went home.
Park Jae-hoon is used to coming to the beauty clinic for micro-plastic surgery like this. He is not worried about the cost.
Because of the fierce competition in South Korea's beauty industry, plastic surgery clinics and beauty salons are grabbing customers.
They pay special attention to customers' comments on the internet, and favorable comments can attract more customers for them.
The beauty clinic has reached an agreement with Park Jae-hoon in advance.
As long as he goes back and praises the clinic online, he won't have to pay for the operation.
There are many men like Park Jae-hoon in Korea who are under the pressure of "looking good", especially those who live in big cities.
They don't just want to be handsome, but hope that a good image can bring them practical benefits in life.
For example, to improve the success rate of interview, a more attractive appearance will greatly improve the chances of job seekers being hired.
Or get a good popularity with a good image and many contacts, which may attract peach blossoms and have an advantage in the relationship between men and women.
All these reflect the Korean way of thinking and attitude towards the body: what's wrong with trying as long as it's good for you?
Therefore, plastic surgery and other medical beauty methods have become the first choice for men, which also benefits from the developed degree of the Korean medical beauty industry itself.
South Korea has 2330 plastic surgeons, which is the country with the largest number of plastic surgeons per capita in the world.
There are one or several beauty clinics hidden in almost every building on the road in Gangnam, a rich area in Seoul.
The clinic lobby is like the lobby of a high-end hotel, with marble front desk and leather sofa. The environment is elegant and quiet.
Even if the indoor air is fresh, people wearing masks can come in and out from time to time.
Here, there are professions everywhere.
Not only the clinical specialty, but also the supporting services related to medical beauty are very complete and efficient.
For example, users can't make up their minds before accepting medical beauty, and they can upload their photos to a special app first.
Plastic surgeons will provide professional advice according to the user's personal situation.
Lip augmentation by injection in Seoul, the preparation time is 30 minutes, and the injection only takes 10 minutes.
No more than an hour before and after, and office workers can also take lunch breaks.
The medical beauty industry in Seoul is becoming more and more famous and spread abroad.
More and more foreigners come to Seoul, hoping to complete the transformation of beauty here.
According to statistics, the number of foreigners who went to Korea for plastic surgery in 20 18 increased by 37% year-on-year. It is not difficult to see the popularity of cosmetic surgery in Korea.
Some special services for foreigners also came into being. Seoul's airport has a special counter to welcome plastic surgery passengers coming to Korea.
There are also some "cosmetic package" services. The whole trip has been arranged for customers, and there is a shuttle bus at the airport.
In addition to medical beauty projects, there are also tour guides to take customers to play. After a lap, you can travel and become beautiful, which sounds very attractive.
This also earned Seoul the nickname "Plastic Surgery Capital of the World".
Under the vigorous trend of medical beauty, many men can't resist the temptation of medical beauty.
According to the person in charge of a beauty clinic, 40% of the clients in their clinic are men.
In the social environment of "love beauty", a good image becomes more and more important.
Many men have also begun to pursue being handsome and in good shape, and are willing to invest in this goal.
Park tae-ho, 33, has a similar idea.
He has been on a diet for many years, paying attention to keeping fit. His broad shoulders, neat black hair and smooth skin make him look young.
"I want to look natural. I want to be more energetic than others."
To this end, Park Tae-ha has also become a frequent visitor to beauty clinics.
Four years ago, he started receiving Botox injections and went back and forth six times.
He also received 20 laser cosmetology and 4 mandibular injection cosmetology.
One day in early April this year, he reported to a beauty clinic again.
He sat in the vip treatment room for injection surgery. In order to make his face more symmetrical, tighter and more prominent,
A year ago, I received skin laser treatment and ultrasonic skin lift surgery, and the effect disappeared after one year.
He is here to "rework". Although the treatment was painful, he endured it to keep his handsome appearance.
After that, his youthful appearance can be maintained for some time.
Besides bringing benefits to real life, some men also choose medical beauty to make their appearance close to hallyu star.
In Korea, traditional culture requires that the beauty of men can only be masculine.
After the rise of Korean Wave in 1990s, the looks of K-pop stars and Korean drama actors became the aesthetic standards of young people.
The beauty of masculinity is no longer the only criterion, and men can be exquisite, delicate and even beautiful.
South Korea's love beans not only make many girls crazy, but also become the "ideal type" of some Korean boys.
Dr. Li Xuanze, the founder of a cosmetic clinic in Jiangnan, once said in an interview,
In the past, Korean men came for plastic surgery in the hope of being more masculine.
Nowadays, many men are interested in BB cream and skin care products, and exquisite beauty is becoming more and more popular.
"They want their faces to be more fashionable and look like idols or stars."
"Compared with before, many men want to look more feminine, so male cosmetics and plastic surgery are also developing in this direction."
The most popular plastic surgery projects for men include nose, eyelid, facial contour (jaw line and bone grinding) and body contour plastic surgery.
Among them, nasal plastic surgery has always been the most popular project.
"Koreans have flat faces, and everyone wants a more three-dimensional face, which is more attractive."
"Nose plastic surgery can change a person's image most effectively, so it is also the most popular."
(Korean men before and after plastic surgery)
The influence of stars on the trend of plastic surgery is not only reflected in the face, but also in the figure.
Looking at the face alone, many stars have sharp chin lines and smooth skin, which are exquisite juvenile images.
But they also have strong bodies, full of male beauty,
Affected by this, "juvenile face, sexy figure" has become a popular trend of male plastic surgery.
For example, some people want six-pack abdominal muscles, but the exercise effect is not obvious. Abdominal plastic surgery can help them realize their dreams.
There is no need to implant a prosthesis during the operation, and the contour of abdominal muscles can be made more obvious by liposuction.
There is also a male breast reduction surgery that is also very popular.
Some men have obvious breast development, which may be caused by hormones and is harmless to the body.
However, it is inconvenient to dress up at ordinary times, which will cause psychological pressure on men.
There are also some fat people who need this operation to shrink their breasts after losing weight successfully.
It is understandable to get a better image through medical beauty.
But the hidden risks must be borne by everyone who accepts medical beauty, including these men who are obsessed with medical beauty.
Some operations are inherently risky, such as grinding bones, and the consequences of improper operation are unimaginable.
Some customers' requirements are unrealistic, and the surgical effect is at risk.
For example, some young people take photos of Zhang Mingxing to doctors to make him look like a star and give themselves plastic surgery.
Everyone's situation is different, so it may not be appropriate to completely copy other people's looks.
At this time, the plastic surgeon will refuse the customer's request and recommend a plan that is more suitable for the other party.
There is also the risk of excessive publicity in the medical and beauty industry.
For example, in the subway station in Jiangnan District, advertisements for beauty clinics are posted everywhere. People think that these advertisements are over-advertised.
According to a local newspaper, they have received more than 1000 related reports.
The whistleblower said that the cosmetic advertisement promoted "unhealthy and distorted appearance image" and hoped that Seoul Metro could cancel the contracts with these advertisers.
Blindly listening to advertisements, taking exaggerated images in advertisements as the goal of plastic surgery,
Judgment is easily influenced, leading to unrealistic wishes, and it is oneself who gets hurt in the end.
(Cosmetic advertisement in subway station)
Beauty has no standard. Everyone, male and female, has the right to change their appearance and figure according to their own wishes.
However, once "good-looking" is regarded as the only criterion for judging people, it will produce invisible pressure.
The choice of "beauty" should not be in the mouth of public opinion, but in the hands of everyone. ...
