![]() How you can Regain your Youthful Appearance without Expensive Treatments or Surgery with No Need to Travel!
It is now 8 months since our lives have been completely disrupted by the coronavirus and we share your sorrow and anxiety. Our site was conceived to help people travel for cosmetic surgery and that now seems to be more fantasy than everyday reality. So what can we do if we feel we really, really need some professional help with our anti-ageing efforts. We can, for the time being, offers alternatives to cosmetic surgery such as getting a collagen boost. We can sit around and feel sorry for ourselves or we can try other ways to improve our look at least as an interim measure until travel opens up again and we can travel freely to cosmetic surgery clinics around the world. It is rare that we actually recommend beauty regimes or specific products but we have been particularly impressed with the feedback we have had on a collagen-boosting cream that does seem to offer great benefits to tide you over whilst you are waiting for your facelift. Indeed, you might be so happy with the results of this collagen boost. as an alternative to cosmetic surgery that you won't bother to get cosmetic surgery and just travel to a spa when the world opens up. What is collagen? Collagen is the most abundant protein [essential for building muscle] in the body. It's a long, fibrous, structural protein [rope-like in appearance] that gives the skin strength and elasticity,” says Alexis Granite, a dermatologist at Mallucci London. Often described as scaffolding for the skin, it acts like a trampoline providing a supportive base structure and giving us the ‘boost' we need for bouncy, healthy-looking skin. Think plump, juicy skin. Collagen production diminishes with age, as well as with exposure to UV radiation and environmental stressors such as smoking and pollution. Typically the decline in collagen production begins in your twenties and drops by about one per cent each year. The appearance of early wrinkles and crepey skin that doesn't snap back as quickly as it may once have been are early signs of collagen deficiency. That is why you probably need a collagen boost. We have discovered an excellent alternative to surgery or collagen injections or a multitude of day creams, night creams, sun creams, dark circle creams. If you use a good product you can throw out a lot of junk filling up your bathroom cabinet and actually get genuine results. I believe there is one cream that can help take care of all your skincare concerns. It's easy, it's proven to work, it's all in just one bottle, and it's ready and waiting for you to give it a try. The researchers and scientists who have developed the Kollagen Intensiv anti-ageing cream had women just like you in mind when they formulated this amazing cream that is not only easy to use, but that will give you the results that you are looking for. This anti-ageing cream is applied twice a day, after your morning and evening cleansing routine. It's easy and effective. Within weeks you will start to see a remarkable reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, dark under-eye circles, blotchiness, and more. Your skin will be moisturized and you will start to look and feel younger. It helps to renew the collagen that is produced naturally by your body and it will combat signs of ageing from sun damage to saggy skin. Clinical trials have proven that Kollagen Intensiv is much more effective than over the counter creams and lotions. Those ineffective products do little more than just temporarily moisturize your skin. As soon as your skin looks rehydrated, it does appear to be more subtle and youthful. But as soon as it dries out, the effects are mitigated immediately. Kollagen Intensiv works more intensely than that. It has been scientifically proven to penetrate deeply into every layer of your skin to ensure that you will see results that are long-lasting in my opinion this collagen boost gives a genuine alternative to cosmetic surgery. I recommend that you order your sample of this great product today? This amazing, non-surgical and easy to use anti-ageing product is fully guaranteed or your money back. So you have nothing to lose except a few wrinkles and age spots. Your face and your mirror will thank you. And, most importantly, you won't have to travel! Other Important Tips 1. Facial massage Massage can stimulate collagen production and strengthen muscle memory (hello contours!). Inge Theron who launched Spa Junkie's Face Gym says, “Facial muscles are crucial to the way we look and with regular stimulation can lift, tone and tighten the skin, boost blood circulation and providing a collagen boost giving a fresh youthful appearance to the skin.” 2. Stop Smoking If ever there was a good reason to stop smoking, this is it! Smoking ages your body and disrupts collagen production. If you get rid of cigarettes you will give yourself a natural collagen boost. 3. Diet Tip Anyone for bone broth? Made from collagen-rich bones, the broth is broken down into amino acids in the gut. These are then used as building blocks to produce more collagen. Still not keen? “The best sources of these amino acids include egg whites, meat and cheese, while cabbage is a vegetarian option,” says GLAMOUR's resident nutritionist, Grace Barnes. “Other supporting nutrients for a collagen boost include vitamin C (strawberries broccoli, oranges, peppers); copper (shellfish, nuts and red meat); vitamin A (liver, egg yolks, carrots and sweet potatoes).” For more information, and details of availability of the collagen cream we mention you can visit the Kollagen Intensiv Homepage.

Yet another Barbie that Mattel forgot to produce has been stirring up a social media storm in Melbourne Australia. Tara Jayne – a local personality – has already spent $200.000 on her quest to transform into a real-life Barbie doll. ![]() She has openly admitted to the media she's ‘addicted' to cosmetic surgery after getting five separate breast enhancement procedures, buttocks implants, a nose tip rhinoplasty, veneers, Botox and fillers. That is just the ‘capital' outlay so to speak, there are ongoing maintenance jobs to be paid for. Fillers need refilling and Botox needs re-injecting but I guess that Tara Jayne has factored these costs into her business plan. Tara Jayne is an icon to cosmetic surgery tourism having had most of her procedures in Europe rather than Australia. Now she is back in Melbourne – locked down like her compatriots. Yet like so many of our visitors she will be delighted when she can travel again for surgery. She says As soon as travel is permitted, I have plans to go back overseas to visit my surgeon and get my breast size increased to 1500cc [from their current 1050ccc]. Tara is proud to say she'll stop at nothing to maintain and even enhance her ‘knockout' 37-inch [bust], 17-inch [waist] – 29-inch [hips] figure. Such is her dedication to morph into a Real-life Barbie. ‘There is no limit for me when it comes to plastic surgery. It is incredibly addictive and I already want bigger breasts,' she said. ![]() I am not sure which surgeon(s) achieved her special look – possibly in Turkey, I am phoning around to see who to credit. She describes herself as ‘an upgraded limited-edition Barbie doll' and sees herself definitely as a work in progress. Like many other wannabe reality entrepreneurs, Tara has set up a Fans Only page to show off her more sexy and revealing side. The venture seems profitable and she admits to having made $10.000 in the first few days of activating her account. Which, fo a former nurse, is a very tidy sum of money. For her followers, there are more tweaks to come and she is planning to enhance her eyes so they are an even more vibrant green than her natural shade. Also like Jessica Barbie who we mentioned the other day, she is looking at having some ribs removed to reduce her waistline. We will keep you all posted on other additions to this family of living Barbie and Ken dolls.
The post Real-Life Barbie Range is Extended Down Under appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/real-life-barbie-range-is-extended-down-under/ Dr Barry Eppley a plastic surgeon who operates out of Indiana has become an iconic figure within the Incel (involuntary celibate) movement. Incels typically believe that women find them undatable and unlovable because their looks do not correspond to a male aesthetic ideal of a chiselled jawline and honed bodily proportions. These male archetypes are referred to as ‘Chads‘ who apparently are endlessly successful with women to the detriment of their less attractive incel peers. Dr Eppley is often referred to as the “Einstein of Aesthetics” Dr Eppley Evaluating new implants- this time, bicep Dr Eppley has built a pioneering plastic surgery clinic performing radical remodelling work on the male face. Through his work, he can give his clients the ‘male model look' typified by celebrities such as David Gandy. He believes that the male standard of chiselled features and an angular, sculpted face, is now an achievable dream for the aesthetically disadvantaged male. Eppley’s range of services includes shoulder widening and narrowing (the clavicle bones are broken, then reconstructed), deltoid and quadriceps implants, and rib removal. The 64-year-old surgeon also offers waist-reduction procedures, as well as implants to enlarge the size of male patients’ testicles. He uses silicone testicle implants rather tan the saline implants used by surgeons on testicular cancer patients since silicone allows him to create larger testicles that retain a more natural look and feel. Remember, this is elective reconstructive surgery for the sake of aesthetics, to make his clients more attractive in the dating market. He uses a computer-aided design (CAD), the software used by architects and engineers, to 3D print facial implants to change the underlying structure of a patient’s face and head in a far more dramatic fashion than conventional cosmetic operations, such as nose jobs or facelifts. Often his rib-removal patients are transgender and will get hip implants in the same trip. Transgender female patients make up 10 to 15 % of his practice. He performs facial-feminization surgery on around 25 patients a year. Most of his facial reconstruction is on facial-masculinization for cis-gender men. ![]() His most celebrated challenge was to turn young Swedish model Pixee Fox into Jessica Rabbit with a 14″ waist achieved by removing some ribs. His technique borrows from the bone harvesting used in rhinoplasty and jaw reconstruction but with tinier, more cleverly placed incisions. Very helpfully Dr Eppley runs a very informative blog on his site where people can pose questions about his innovative surgeries. In this visually dominated world where a first glance can make or break a potential romantic encounter, it is not surprising that Incels and those with dysmorphia find comfort in the range of surgeries that Eppley offers find an enthusiastic audience.
The post Why the ‘Einstein of Aesthetics’ Has Become an Incel Hero. appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/why-the-einstein-of-aesthetics-has-become-an-incel-hero/ Jessica, the Barbie Doll that Mattel forgot to make, is celebrating her first anniversary with a fabulous, blingy photo shoot. Yes, the Human Ken Doll, Rodrigo Alves, continues his lifelong plastic surgery obsession by transforming into Jessica, the Human Barbie Doll. Alves who has had more cosmetic procedures than most of us have had the literal hot dinner is hitting the headlines yet again. Confirming his joy in transitioning from Ken to Barbie, Alves puts it very sweetly. “As a man I had a great life, I achieved and did lots of very fun, cool things — but I was never truly happy because I kept having surgeries to modify myself when what I actually really wanted was to transition,” Alves says. “When I look at myself in the mirror I feel really happy, I see the woman that was inside me all along.” Well, that woman is now there for us all to witness and admire. Whilst it tempting to suggest that Alves and the search for Barbie glory is simply the attention-seeking act of someone with endless funds and inventive surgeons I think there is more than that. We are watching the unfolding of a dream made flesh. Firstly he believed he had truly found himself in his Ken persona but then slowly realised that whilst the ‘ball game' was right the team he was playing for was wrong. It was not Ken that Alves wanted to morph into it was Barbie herself !- An easy mistake to make I suppose – so once the base work was done and the nose was on the point of collapse, Alves yearned for the hips, the glorious breasts and, of course, the fabulous wardrobe. I mean, what has Ken got? Some commando camouflage gear, a boring dinner jacket, some country casuals and so on. As Jessica, te whole Barbie wardrobe is available – oscar-winning robes, boho wedding gowns, the very best Rodeo Drive has to offer. Happy birthday, Jessica, I do hope that you will find everything as you dreamt it would be. As Will Shakespeare once said ‘ we are such stuff as dreams are made of…' The post Jessica the Barbie Doll Celebrates Her First Birthday appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/jessica-the-barbie-doll-celebrates-her-first-birthday/ Transgender surgery is a topic we have covered regularly in this blog. Today we look at a very interesting study from Germany on the quality of life (QoL) experienced by transgender patients after their operations. We also examine the latest trends in transgender surgery around the world. Scientists have developed a transgender-specific questionnaire, which confirms for the first time that gender surgery substantially improves lifestyle for the majority of patients. The report shows that 80% of male-to-female clients perceived themselves as females post-surgery. However, the quality of life of transgender people is still noticeably less than the general population. Many transgender individuals request gender reassignment surgery, but formerly there only existed information on overall aspects of health-related quality of life (QoL) and non-validated surveys about the improvement of QoL. A team at the university hospital in Essen, Germany, led by Dr. Jochen Hess, followed 156 patients for an average of more than 6 years following surgery. They established and confirmed the new Essen Transgender Quality of Life Inventory, which is the first methodology to specifically consider transgender QoL. They found that there was a high overall level of satisfaction with the outcomes of surgery. When comparing the QoL of the last four weeks with the QoL during the time of publicly identifying as transgendered there was a highly significant rise on all subscales of the ETL as well as for the global score indicating a large improvement of QoL in the course of the transitioning process. Increasing awareness about transgender problems will influence sex reassignment surgery market forecast globally, along with positive government regulations associated with gender transition. Broadening patient universe with an inclination towards transforming sex from female to male and vice-versa will result in raising the amount of sex reassignment procedures. Over the past few years, the number of such patients has escalated nearly four times. For instance, as per the recent data by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in excess of 3,000 trans masculine and trans feminine surgeries were conducted in 2016. The rise in the number of gender transition procedures will boost industry growth in the coming years. Sex reassignment surgery market size is forecast to surpass USD 1.5 billion in value by 2026 globally. Increased number of resources and availability of gender reassignment surgical centres is attracting more transgender population to undergo the knife. As per a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, gender reassignment surgery lowers the risk of anxiety, depression or suicidal behaviour in transgenders along with imparting long term mental health benefits to them. Rising knowledge pertaining to solutions for transgender issues will encourage sex reassignment surgeries. Enhanced number of useful resources and accessibility of gender reassignment medical centres is drawing in more transgender population to undergo the scalpel. According to a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, gender reassignment surgery reduces the threat of stress and anxiety, depression or suicidal behaviour in transgenders along with imparting long term mental health gains to them. Rising expertise pertaining to solutions for transgender issues will encourage sex reassignment surgeries. Basing on to recent research studies, the quantity of gender confirmation surgeries from male to female is 3 times more than female to male surgeries. In 2019, male to female sex reassignment surgery represented revenue of over USD 184.6 million. The growth can be attributed to the rise in medical insurance coverage for male to female fender reassignment procedures along with the accessibility of expert viewpoints on the medical necessity of gender transition. Increasing the effectiveness of gender transition surgeries is encouraging more community with gender issues to opt for these solutions. The female to male surgeries is divided into chest, genital and facial, operations. The genital surgery encompasses the surgical procedures like phalloplasty and hysterectomy that aids in transitioning female genitals into male genitals. Male to female surgeries are bifurcated into breast, genital and facial procedures. The genital surgery is further divided into orchiectomy, vaginoplasty and phallectomy. These surgeries are carried out for restructuring the male genitals into female genitals by altering function as well as appearance. So we hope that when the world has passed through the heavy restrictions of COVID-19 and medical tourism can restart that the transgender community will be able to profit from government encouragement and increasing medical expertise.. The post Transgender Surgery Shows Increasing Trend. appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/transgender-surgery-shows-increasing-trend/ ![]() When Dr Andrew Jacono speaks, the cosmetic surgery world listens. Jacono has star quality and has been the ‘face of the facelift ‘ for some time now. This is the man who gave us the ‘Park Avenue Face' which is a more geographically defined version of the ‘rich girls' face‘ and the title of one of his best selling books. So when Jacono points to a trend in cosmetic surgery, – the ‘Rich Family' Face pundits like myself sit up and take note. ![]() Talking to Town and Country magazine recently, Dr Jacono talks about cosmetic surgery in the family context. Indeed, making the decision to have plastic or cosmetic surgery is life-changing. Whether you’re receiving plastic surgery out of medical necessity or you want to improve the way that you look or feel, there’s a chance that your life will be significantly different after you have fully recovered. Pursuing surgery is not an easy choice, and you may feel the need to consult with other people in your life to help ensure that you are making the right decision. This makes sense but Jacono sees it going a stage further. He notes a trend where family members are going ‘en famille' to cosmetic surgery consultations like a group outing to the stores or the opera. In the interview, Jacono says “Next week I’m doing a husband, a wife, and a daughter on the same day. The husband and wife are getting their face-lifts done, and the daughter is getting a rhinoplasty. I have another case coming up that’s a grandmother, a mother, and a daughter. The grandmother and mother are getting face-lifts, and the daughter, who is in her early forties, is getting her eyelids done.” This is the ‘rich family face' in all its glory. I have, myself known of overweight siblings (brother/sister) who have gone on slimming spas together and had used the same liposuction surgeon, but this seems to be a whole new ball game. There is, apparently a lot about support from within the family that somehow helps recovery and strengthens family bonds. ” Support from a relative going through the same thing can make recovery easier, “People are happier because they have encouragement along the way” Jacono recounts that he did twin sisters’ noses, and even in the recovery room I could hear them talking through the curtain, saying, ‘You’re amazing, you did a great job.’ It was sweet.” One can hear the conversation over Xmas dinner this year when the Vuitton face masks have been set aside. How discussing family resemblances will focus on the delicate rhinoplasty surgery or the brow lift which might yet define a dynasty. The only such topic at my family Xmas dinner will be who gets the ‘Parson's nose' but then we are not Park Avenue royalty.
The post ‘Rich Family Face’ is Latest Trend As ‘Family Outing’ Takes New Meaning. appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/rich-family-face-is-latest-trend-as-family-outing-takes-new-meaning/ The all-pervasive influence of Instagram on the cosmetic surgery market is a subject I return to time and time again. It bears repeating, social media is not your best medical opinion. Just because a social influencer on a TV show jetted off to Istanbul for a promotional boob job or a blast or two of botox, does not mean it is the best option for you. Especially if you are only 18 and feeling confused and insecure. Having a breast implant is not like going to the dentist for a hygiene appointment or for a Mani and Pedi at the local spa. And having a casual BBL is crazy. The Brazilian Butt Lift is potentially the most dangerous cosmetic surgery you can do since it runs the risk of serious blood clots and other unexpected side effects. But please don't believe me. have a look at this really good report from Channel 4 News which exposes the results of cheap plastic surgery done by wannabe social influencers to build their ‘future.'
As more and more young people turn to social media as a way of making money in an uncertain world, health experts have warned of a rise in body dysmorphia and cosmetic surgery, including some highly risky operations. There are some disturbing images in this report. It might just be a Halloween post for us but for many young women, it is a nightmare that does not end on November first. There is an addictive edge to this influencer surgery and as with any addiction you always need more to keep the buzz going. It might just start with a filter from the app store, carefully adding fake lashes to your selfie, or smoothing out the frown lines in some rosy, flattering light. But the life of a would-be influencer is not all that its airbrushed perfection would appear. But this is just ‘gateway tweaking' – later many Insta-famous wannabes' are doing it for real. Maybe the next surgery will get my followers up to 100k? Wow! What will I need to do to get 500k? Maybe I could Vlog my 18-year-old vagina being ‘revitalised'? Why not have height extensions put in my young legs because 5'9″ is better than 5'5″? I can have it all videoed and the surgeon will give me an ‘influencer' discount. Maybe the wheelchair from the airport isn't a ‘good look' but it worked for Katie Price recently so maybe I could also fly home from Istanbul in a wheelchair and get some coverage? The thought of that fame and the sponsorship money is so seductive, your body is your canvas, your work of art and potentially your magic money tree. I do not wish to rant but just because a clinic will give you free or discounted surgery it does not necessarily mean it is a good choice. We support carefully considered, professionally performed surgery – of course, we do – but many senior UK consultants tell me that they are forever fixing shoddy, dangerous surgery on impressionable young women who dreamt of being social influencers but ended up bitterly disappointed and scarred for life. The post Social Influencers & Cosmetic Surgery – Scary Video. appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/social-influencers-cosmetic-surgery-scary-video/ I never understood why Dolly was so worried about Jolene ‘stealing her man.' Dolly Parton is a fabulous creation and with her planned 75th birthday makeover she is going to tower over the Jolenes of this world. According to the Globe, Dolly Parton is planning to “splurge” on a “$2 million” plastic surgery makeover in anticipation of her 75th birthday in January. Sources for the outlet insist Parton “intends to wow the world with her new younger look” as she promotes her new Christmas album, A Holly Dolly Christmas, as well as her new Netflix flick, Dolly Parton’s Christmas On The Square, which will air late in November. A source tells the outlet, Dolly is no stranger to the surgeon's scalpel. She has had a whole range of tweaks and surgeries over her glorious career. Her surgeon Dr. John Grossman has said: “She has a generous bosom, which I augmented some years ago. “She’s had her face rejuvenated on a number of occasions, [but] not a full face- lift.” Dolly has opened up about the inspiration behind her striking look. Dolly told CBS Sunday Morning in September: “It is true that I look artificial, but I believe that I'm totally real. This is a from a woman who famously said: “it costs a lot of money to look this cheap”. During a round of quick-fire questions, she joked about her breasts after being asked: “Are they real?” The singer retorted: “They're real expensive. They're real big.” She told The Guardian in a 2011 interview: “If something is bagging, sagging or dragging, I'll tuck it, suck it or pluck it.” But Dolly Parton is unique in that she can get away with all the bling and surgical modifications. It is rarely mentioned but Dolly also had her eyelids tweaked. the package though is blingy, camp and totally credible. As Dolly told CBS Sunday Morning in September: “It is true that I look artificial, but I believe that I'm totally real. ” Your 75th birthday is going to quite an event!

Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/dolly-parton-75th-birthday-makeover-watch-out-jolene/ Whilst much of the world has been tying itself into knots over COVID-19 transmission rates and whether Trump will recover ground in tonight's election debate we turn our focus to Molly-Mae Hague and her lip fillers. For those not fully invested in the UK Reality TV loop, Molly-Mae Hague was a late arrival into the Love Island villa, but influencer Molly-Mae Hague was quick to make an impact with her fellow Islanders. After going on a date with Tommy Fury, the pair hit it off and finished in second place on Love Island 2019. Molly-Mae has made quite the transformation since her early Youtube days; after leaving the Love Island villa she got jaw filler and added more filler to her lips. She's since announced that she's removed her filler and has opted for a more natural look. All this big reveal is on YouTube along with a promotion for her Prettylittlething launch. On her Instagram stories the ‘star' covered her mouth in a teasing manner, as she told fans in a video: “So, guys, someone may have had their full lip fillers dissolved today. That someone may have been me.” “I don't know how to feel about it,” she added. “But I have vlogged the whole thing, so you're going to see very soon.” This is the latest we know on this trending news item. Just as soon we have more information or Molly's update video we will post it here. In the meantime we would like to wish Molly luck with her other – more serious – surgical concerns. She revealed that she had a mole removed and that she has a follow-up operation scheduled shortly. Molly Mae Hague has revealed that further surgery on her leg will take place next week – and that she is devastated the surgery has ruined her Halloween. The Love Island star, 21, has received a shock diagnosis after having a potentially cancerous mole removed from her leg last month and revealed she would go under the knife once more in a Q&A with fans on Monday. She wrote: ‘The mole has already been removed but my further surgery is next week. I feel it coming around so quickly and I'm really b***dy nervous but fingers crossed. The post Molly-Mae Hague and Her Lip Filler – Social Media Big Reveal. appeared first on Best Cosmetic Surgeons. Via https://bestcosmeticsurgeons.com/molly-mae-hague-and-her-lip-filler-social-media-big-reveal/ Over the previous twenty years, the lifestyle and visual appeals of Korean music heroes and television actors have become more and more popular around the world. The K-pop talent pool has been generating picture-perfect boy bands and porcelain princesses since the 1990s. And it's still going strong going by the popularity of bands like BTS and Blackpink and SixBomb. K-Pop and cosmetic surgery have long been entwined in this cultural explosion. In a pair of videos called “Getting Pretty Before” and “Getting Pretty After,” members of the K-pop group SixBomb giddily went for manicures between appointments at a plastic surgeon, where their faces were prodded and poked. The SixBomb girls show us how it's done. Check out the results!! And love the choreography.!! With Hallyu (Korean Wave) becoming more well-known, it's not surprising that it's not only the Korean-Americans who are loving this trend. The energy of the Korean Wave has moved outside Asia and has acquired a deep grip in public awareness in the United States, Australia and to a lesser extent in the UK. This is amongst enthusiasts of different ages, genders, and ethnic cultures. So what is the K-pop look? It can be summarised as doe-eyed with delicate features. A crisp jawline and willowy body. Fair skin so translucent it practically shines. A challenge for the fans of K-Pop and cosmetic surgery. With many South Korean pop heroes meeting that description in their sleekly produced pop videos, their mass attraction has many of the country's young persons desiring to look just like them. But in an attempt to reduce their effect in a beauty-obsessed country where cosmetic surgery is rampant, South Korea's authorities are trying to limit the superstars' visibility on television, saying they look too much alike. “Are all the singers on television music programs twins?” the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family wrote about the stars of K-pop, as their music is known, in broadcast guidelines released this month, according to The Korea Times. Nearly a third of South Korean women have undertaken aesthetic surgery between the ages of 19 and 29, a Gallup Korea poll has found– a trend that echoes the narrow aesthetics standards exemplified by K-pop stars. Some South Koreans have candidly celebrated having cosmetic surgery, chronicling their physical transformations as a rite of passage. So it seems that K-Pop and cosmetic surgery are an integral part of Korean teen life. So what are the procedures to achieve the K-Pop and cosmetic surgery look?Double eyelid Surgery Blepharoplasty, better known as “double eyelid surgery,” is one of, if not the, most popular Korean cosmetic surgery. It is also very controversial. It involves reshaping the skin surrounding the eye so that a crease is created. Recipients have been accused of undergoing this procedure to look more “Western”. Many female K-Pop stars really like the extra makeup potential this extra skin provides. It is a signature operation to the world of K-Pop. The Oval Look Shifting from the Euro-centric look comes the “oval face” craze. This aesthetic is distinct to Korean culture and lauded by K-pop fans. While everyone wants a slimmer appearance, this look kicks it up a notch. To achieve this look, surgeons shave down the patient’s chin to create a pointy, elfin-eared effect. This procedure is known as “v-line” surgery. Face contouring is a boom area in Korean cosmetic surgery. Our in-depth article explains the risks involved to get that ‘look'. Anime Inspiration Anime is a big attraction because of its freedom of expression and imagination. It provides a realm in which the consumer can escape Korea’s fast-paced lifestyle. Along with the pointed jawlines earlier mentioned, its characters are known for their dainty, high noses. Both fans and celebrities often undergo precise rhinoplasties to obtain this look. The closer one resembles these dream-like characters, perhaps the closer one is to live in their dream worlds. Never has there been so much synergy as between K-Pop and cosmetic surgery
