  • Getting Plastic Surgery in Korea is in Fashion in the New Hallyu Era

    Status

    With the hallyu boom led by K-pop and K-drama worldwide, Korea is leading global beauty trends. For foreigners who aspire to K-beauty, getting plastic surgery in Korea has become a turning point in their lives beyond a simple medical operation. This is why many foreigners visit plastic surgeons in Korea.

    Strength

    Korea is a leader in the plastic surgery sector with 25% of the global beauty market. Korea's plastic surgery technology has become a global standard that Korean plastic surgeons write related medical textbooks across the globe. In particular, Korea's facial liposuction technology used to create a V-shaped facial line without reshaping the bones boasts an unmatched superiority. Therefore, the country recorded the largest number of facial liposuction cases in the world. Furthermore, Korea offers a reliable medical environment for patients, such as cameras installed in operating rooms and the disclosure of the names of medical staff members who participate in the surgeries. In addition, differentiated services, including beauty classes and cultural programs for foreigners, are offered as well.

    Medical Field

    Cosmetic surgery is divided into invasive surgery, which cuts or punctures the skin, and minimally invasive or non-invasive surgery that uses injections, laser or ultrasonic waves. Recently, minimally invasive, or non-invasive surgery, which is affordable with less risk of side-effects, is preferred by those in their 20s and 30s who want instant yet natural-looking results.
