Plastic surgery has existed in South Korea for decades. Many women would keep it a secret and would insist that they were born with their features. However, in recent years, more and more women have become more open and proud about their experiences with plastic surgery. There are many reasons why plastic surgery has become more acceptable in Korean society. However, one reason is that celebrities themselves have become more open about their procedures, stating that it is okay to get plastic surgery and that it should not be looked down upon.

Today, plastic surgery is thought of as such a common practice, that it is not even considered surgery anymore. In 2010, 31. 5% of residents 15 or older were willing to undergo plastic surgery. In a 2009 survey, one in every five women (ages 19-49) in Seoul, South Korea had gotten plastic surgery.
A common form of surgery is the double eyelid surgery. Women get this procedure to get more wider-looking, Westernized eyes.
People have debated the ethicalness of plastic surgery for years now. The common debate has been that plastic surgeon are now playing the role of "god" by transforming people's appearance. However, a new concern is that Korean women are now increasingly looking the same. There is a common consensus that an attractive face in Korea is a small, more sharply defined face- pretty much a more Westernized face. Since no one is born with that kind of face in Korea, more and more women are getting plastic surgery.
Personally, I think it is sad that so many women believe they need to get plastic surgery to be beautiful. Even more importantly, I believe that it is sad that society believes that there is only one kind of face that is beautiful. I do not see this upward trend of plastic surgery dying down in South Korea any time soon. However, I hope that some people will see that there is more than one kind of beauty, and I hope that they will be more vocal about it.
