A not-so-quick clarification regarding cosmetic procedures

Just so you know, this post has no other pictures.

For the more entertaining but slightly horrifying plastic surgery post by Kpopalypse, go here. Otherwise, enjoy the wall of irrelevant rambles.
 

Like everyone always says, cosmetic surgery is one of those ‘been-there-done-that’ territories in the Korean Entertainment world. It’s no secret that a lot of your favorite idols, actors or actresses have bought themselves some double eyelids and a more prominent nose bridge, but what’s the big deal about it? Did Bom’s latest adjustment hurt anything (except maybe your eyes)? Well, let me tell you why Botox shouldn’t affect your oh-so-delicate feelings.

First, mentally speaking. People assume that when you get plastic surgery you totally hate yourself and can't stand the sight of your own face, but do they ever see a little jaw shave as a positive thing? If someone feels conscious about something then it's their face and they can fuck with it all they want. It's not like it's your fault when they end up being bloated and fug as hell. A lot of women who get plastic surgery just see it as improvement to their outward appearance, it is by no means a judgement of their character, work ethic or personality.It will not hurt you, murder you in your sleep, kill your parents or make you fail basic math for the third year in a row.

Now for a bit more complex medical shit. Here on the internet there are things like these shits. I'm wondering when that person became an expert on medical problems and how much they actually looked into shit before deciding to write their cute little rant about it, and maybe those idols did use their problems as an excuse to visit Dr. Lee. However, did you know that cosmetic procedures were originally developed in order to help treat illnesses and fix deformities? Now you do.

 

"Wait you teenage idiot, what do you know about this shit?" Well, did you know that people read and research this shit, and that they perform procedures similar to those of Dr. Park daily? American doctors perform maxillofacial (jaw shave) procedures every day to correct misaligned jaws. Is something that causes someone pain and makes their life difficult just an excuse to look good? I guess this could partly depend on a person's self-defined boundary between 'need this to live' and 'they just had it done to have it done and used this condition as an excuse.' It also depends on the diagnosis of the medical personnel they consult, the results of which are usually not just blurted out for fun.

Of course, there are always those really scary Gangnam Unnir that people always talk about, and verious other cases of scary because of plastic surgery. They're horrifying in pictures, yes, but you probably haven't considered the fact that they probably probably cake on the makeup photoshop their chins pointier and their eyes larger, even after 10 visits to the clinic. They'd probably still be a little horrifying in real life, but who gives two shits? Most of us are never going to step foot in Korea anyway.

Now, did you learn a lesson from all this, or are your feelings still extremely hurt after seeing Bom's face from a new angle? Really though, unless it's your face then you should probably leave it alone. There are many reasons why one would want to adjust their face, but if it benefits them and they feel confident about it then you probably should too. Calling a stranger over the internet fake, a monster, scary or stupid over a screen is never the right thing to do and you'll be the one looking dumb in the end.

TL;DR: Leave others' faces alone you nosy mofo
