🎞️ Insane South Korean Toxic Beauty Standard!💄A Documentary Review! 💉
So today I watched a documentary about plastic surgery in South Korea. I don't watch documentary much, but sometimes they are so interesting. I think I should watch documentary more, and I should really take my dad's recommendation.
In the video they said that a district in Seoul, South Korea, there was like a street that is full of plastic surgery clinics. They also interview a few people, some of them are plastic surgeons, costumers, and people who helped clinics got their costumers.
What I Learned 📄
It is so normal for people both young and old to get plastic surgeries, and it become somewhat friendly. It is like going to get medicines at a pharmacy here. There are also a lot of people who killed themselves because of the beauty standard in South Korea. To be pretty in South Korea is too have big round eyes, V-jawline, slim chins, small face, and things like that.
There were a lot of successful surgeries but also failed ones. I gotta to say people who have failed plastic surgeries looked worse than their original face. Some people have so much plastic surgeries that they look unreal, like aliens or ai almost. I get it that some people got plastic surgery because of medical reasons, but those are the small percentage of people who got plastic surgeries.
My Thoughts 💭
Also not only Korean people got surgeries but also other people. A great amount of them are from China, Japan, and other countries. I gotta to say when you see Chinese people on social media, they look unreal. Some are because of filters, make-up, and of course plastic surgeries. I heard that there is a thing in China where you take like a bone from some parts of your body, and attach it to your legs and arm to make you taller and skinnier.
I don't really know anyone who got plastic surgery, but I think my mom's ex sister-in-law got like a chin surgery. I am not a 100 percent sure, but I heard my mom said that her ex sister-in-law got one. My mom also said that sometimes her chin looks a bit droopy or swallowing. Most people who got plastic surgery here are mostly celebrities and rich people, and my mom's ex sister-in-law is pretty rich.
Kids at my school also try to follow Korean trends such as filters, products, skincare, skin whitening, and other stuff. Some of my classmates think that Korean beauty standards are desirable, while some think it is insane. Here in Cambodia it's mostly girls and women that use skin whitening products, but boys also use them too. I think almost all of my female classmates use skin whitening products and even take beauty pills.

I don't think there's anything wrong for someone to undergo plastic surgery if it boosts their self-esteem and makes them happy. However, if they do it because of the pressure of beauty standards, then it's not good.
There was a video of a kid from Japan who got double eyelid surgery because her mom told her that it's pretty and people would like her more. It was heartbreaking to watch. 😭
We are all beautiful... 😍 Let's try to love ourselves more.
It won't bother me if they do it or not, but like you said if they feel like they have to get it because of the standards then that is not right. It is so wrong of the parents who force their kids to have surgery or change their looks, it is up to the kids to decide if they want to have it or not. I do agree with you everyone is pretty. Have a wonderful day.
That's right... but better have it when they're adults (if they still want to at that time)... Kids' facial features still change as they grow, so they might regret it. ^^
Stay pretty inside out, @srey-yuu :) Have an awesome one, too! ^^
👏 Keep Up the good work on Hive ♦️ 👏

It is sad that more people aren't happy with the way they look without having work done. You are already so pretty, I hope you don't wish to do it, too!
It is true and some people don't even like their natural skin color anymore. I will definitely won't be doing that. I mean I am so afraid of pain or just cuts basically. Have a nice day.
Korea is the plastic surgery capitol of the world. I know quite a few Koreans and all of them have had some sort of beauty procedure done. I think it is just fine if you have enough money but many times it creates an impossible beauty standard that nobody actually looks like naturally.
They did mention that in the video. I don't think I know any Koreans but I know some people who has some work done. I think everyone is pretty just one more than the other, and some people look like barbie dolls which is really creepy. Have a nice day.
The procedure to make you just a little bit taller is very expensive, very painful, and then after it is done they have to re-teach you how to walk. They break your bones, make them a little bit longer with titanium, stretch your skin to accommodate the increased height, and then you spend a year recovering from it. This just sounds horrible to me and I would rather be short.
I could not imagine learning to walk again, I don't want to experience being a baby again. It hurts really bad when I have a cut so I cannot imagine the pain of broken bone. To me I love my short height although it is hard to reach tall places.
