When you think of South Korea you probably
think of K-pop and Korean beauty products. Those things have taken
over the world in the past years. It’s like the whole world decided
that South Korea is the epicentre of beauty, and you know, looking at
their celebrities it’s hard to argue with that. But do you think
about plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures when you think of South
Korea? The country has ranked in the top 5 countries in the world
based on the number of plastic surgeons. Plastic and cosmetic
surgeries are really popular in Korea, and while these days many opt
for non-invasive cosmetic procedures, there are still quite a few
surgeries that are extremely common in South Korea.
1.
Blepharoplasty
One
of the most popular surgeries in South Korea is double eyelid surgery
or blepharoplasty. It’s considered to be a minimally invasive
procedure, where the surgeon makes the incision on the eyelid and
removes excess fat or skin to create that double eyelid effect. Many
people in South Korea get these surgeries routinely, as a present for
a birthday, some even get it as a graduation gift when they turn 18.
2.
Canthoplasty
Eye
widening surgery is called canthoplasty and it’s another popular
surgery in South Korea, and quite a lot of people choose to have it
done at the same time with the blepharoplasty. The surgeon goes in
and cuts the corners of the eyelids and shaped them to give the
appearance of bigger wider eyes.
3.
Forehead Augmentation
This
sounds weird but this procedure is supposed to give you a smoother
forehead that’s a bit more rounded, providing you with a
younger-looking face. This is often achieved with an implant, but
these days people also use fillers and non-invasive methods to
achieve a similar look.
