According to Economist magazine, every fifth woman in South Korea performed a plastic surgery. In 2025, about four billion dollars were spent on beauty processes in the country. However, this is not the limit, it is estimated that the amount until 2034 will be almost 13 billion. Often, girls aged 19 to 29 use surgical interventions. Many of them get a certificate for “beauty injections” after reaching adulthood as a gift from their loved ones.
This type of demand in South Korea is affected by high beauty standards, social networks, low cost and more than a hundred procedures that go beyond simple surgical operations. We have collected the five most ruthless beauty process from the idol of idols.
Reduce the hair growth line


This is one of the most strange procedures. If hair transplantation is performed to hide alopecia worldwide, operation is performed for a visual reduction in South Korea. First, the surgeon cuts the hair growth line, then lowers the hairy part of the head and then removes excess skin. The procedure changes the ratio of the face and gives the so -called beautiful.
Fear growth


The opposite of the previous procedure is an increase in the forehead. Korean women are ready to go to excessive measures to obtain a European -type face and textured properties. The surgeon cuts the hair growth line and forms the cavity on the base of the nose, then puts the implant into the frontal bone and sews the part. The operation time is less than two hours.
An increase in the jaw


An increase in the jaw is obtained by attaching implants to the jaw or increasing bone tissue. It is assumed that the operation makes the facial features more impressive. It is recommended for a compatible effect with rhinoplasty. During the procedure, the risk of damaging blood vessels or nerves is high. The cost of increasing the jaw reaches seven thousand dollars.
Mentoplasty


Mentoplasty is a process to reduce the jaw to visually narrow the shape of the face. For about five thousand dollars, the bottom of the face is cut and the side bones are polished to form a clear oval and sharp cheekbones. Sometimes sections are made in the mouth to hide the scars.
Autoplasty


Ear plastic against Lopoilia is especially common in South Korea. The mistake of this bullying that girls encountered at school. The surgeon makes a incision at the base of the ear, then the cartilage dissects and removes the part. The operation is also carried out using a special needle using medical yarns introduced with puncture. It is aligned due to voltage and ears.
