3 Things You Didn’t Know About Korea Plastic Surgery

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Korean Plastic Surgery

3 things you didn't know about korea plastic surgery

North Koreans have it harder, but with cheaper prices

To start off, here’s a piece of news that may or may not surprise you: cosmetic  eye surgery costs only $3 in North Korea . Even so, that is no small sum for the locals. Yeah, in North Korea, double eyelid surgery is also found to be a beauty ideal as well. Though, of course, their voices are silenced and the people do have it harder; if they were found to have had surgery, they would be punished. All that can be said, here, is to be thankful that you’re not in North Korea.

Becoming a Surgeon is Tough

Yeah, it’s a very competitive process and becoming a cosmetic surgeon in South Korea is difficult; take a look at plastic surgery in Korea statistics. According to 2011 Statistics by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, there are only but 1,250 surgeons in South Korea.

Koreans are not obsessed with cosmetic surgery

While the consensus may say that Koreans are obsessed with cosmetic surgery, but not every Korean thinks so. Western media has portrayed it to be the case; that, among Asians, Koreans are bordering on an unhealthy obsession towards plastic surgery. Some older Koreans are strongly opposed to this trend, however, and even some of the youth. Here’s the thing: Are cosmetic procedures a sensible investment? Sure, it can be, for some people. But, it’s too easy to generalize an entire country to be this or that, and the fact is, not every Korean is “obsessed” with cosmetic surgery.

So, if you didn’t know those three little things about Korea Plastic Surgery – now you do! With all that said, as you may already know, South Korea is a top destination in Asia for cosmetic surgery. But, there is just one too many options to choose from! For the sake of safety and your well-being, going to the right Korean plastic surgery clinic is of the utmost importance. The best thing that you can do for yourself -- if you intend to get cosmetic surgery -- is to do the research! Which procedure, surgeon and clinic is the best choice for your case?
